More about the 2Revolutions Approach:

2Rev helps partner districts/communities take two essential steps toward the future: 

• Define Student Success via inclusive, participatory design processes so each community is clear about what students need to know and be able to do to be successful - this is their “North Star” 

• Build Adult Capacity via facilitated, topical communities of practice and graduate programs so teachers and leaders (and others) are supported to collaboratively develop the new knowledge, skills, and mindsets they need to better support students 

Simply put, we work with the adults across our education system(s) to encourage them to think differently about the structures, culture, and practices needed to promote and sustain cutting-edge learning. 2Rev has successfully led 450+ unique design engagements with partners across more than 40 states.
