Industry Experts

Our signature formula is to monitor the evolving thinking and skills of the most important champions of education and sustainability, and transform them into educational materials and a pedagogical system that inspires young people to think about the world, their relationship to it, and their ability to influence it in an entirely new way.

Education (Teaching and Learning) Experts

Our BEE 21 and "Inventing the Future" courses were written in partnership with Dr. Giselle O. Martin-Kniep, President, The Center for the Study of Expertise in Teaching and Learning, and Joanne Picone-Zocchia, Curriculum Writer, Learner-Centered Initiatives and The Center for the Study of Expertise in Teaching and Learning.
