At Instructional Empowerment, We Believe …

All Children Deserve Academic and Life Success

We believe all students from all races, cultures, socioeconomic levels, and backgrounds can flourish when school systems are designed to ensure their success. We partner with schools and districts to implement instructional systems for rigorous academic learning and high student agency – the ability of students to self-direct their learning – because we want every student to develop the real-world skills to thrive in the new economy with upward mobility.

All Educators Deserve Professional Empowerment

We believe educators are trapped in the inherited legacy model of teacher-centered pedagogy that limits their professional autonomy and makes it nearly impossible to achieve the student outcomes they desire. As teachers and principals work with our faculty and adopt our model of instructional empowerment, we watch their sense of renewal and energy grow as their profession becomes more joyful and empowered.

Schools Can Break the Status Quo

We believe every school can become great. We founded our own Applied Research Center to ensure we can provide schools with the most evidence-based approach possible so they can become the great equalizers they were meant to be. No matter a school’s starting point or the socioeconomic status of the communities it serves, we know every school has the innate potential to achieve what we call the Empowerment Destination.

If you believe what we believe, we want to give you an opportunity to join us on a life-changing mission to positively impact students, educators, and schools.

We get to do this work with some of the most intelligent people in education, they not only care deeply about learning but also care deeply for each other. Their commitment to the work and our vision make coming to work every day a joy.”
