Connecting is Creating
This digital portal is a collection of storytellers and exemplars who are thought leaders and innovators in the field of education. From artists to scientists - for explorers, learners, educators and community leaders - we form a Community of Practice, engaged in a process of collective learning in a shared human endeavor that enables us to learn with and from each other
We believe that every student is unique and deserves a learning experience that empowers them to achieve success. Education should fuel a passionate response within each and every student - supporting their personal growth and their ability to be catalysts for change in their communities.
Our mission is to pursue a new approach to education, one that is focused on the individual student and that is capable of imparting the skills and competencies they need for a rapidly evolving world.
We firmly believe that neurodiversity serves as a cornerstone of innovation in education, enriching learning environments with a spectrum of unique perspectives and abilities
