Empowered
Empowered isn’t about “what” to teach. Our tools apply to any activity, strategy, curriculum, or methodology, subject, grade, or setting. It’s about “how” to inspire. Empowered offers any teacher, at no financial cost, the trust and resources they need to transform their classrooms into spaces that draw-from and apply-to the real world. Empowered’s way of teaching improves outcomes by giving every learner ownership of their education and choices. Their students better- connect, in their own way, to learning. They leave school prepared for life and emboldened with a growth mindset. As the Empowered Community grows, so will its impact. More students, and teachers, will seize more opportunities, and create greater success for themselves, and society.
