For too long, education, like many sectors, has been stuck in the belief that change originates from one source, and that it can be managed, communicated, and strategically planned in a vacuum. We all know that change is, by its very nature, messy and difficult, and yet we have repeatedly been lured by the notion that, with the right leader or the right goal or the right resources, it can be simple, straightforward, and linear. Our educational system itself is nearly a perfect medium for facilitating this type of top-down, single-origin systemic change.
Over the past few decades, we have come to realize that successful change efforts need to be both top-down and bottom-up, or “grasstops and grassroots.” In order to accomplish this shift, we work to build knowledge, skills, and mindsets in systems, building and teacher leaders. We do this through our 2Revolutions Communities of Practice and Graduate Programs.
Our Theory of Change
Everything we do attempts to counter the root causes of the chronic ineffectiveness of educator learning in the K12 setting. Rather than accept the status quo, we disrupt it by asking…
WHAT IF we were to build educator experiences, based on learning science and behavioral economics, to create a different reality?
WHAT IF we created learning that was joyful, respectful, personalized and appropriately incentivized educators?
Our focus is on capacity building, not training. We want to work with you for the shortest period of time needed to make our presence unnecessary; success looks like your organization having the capacity to sustain the work and succeed on your own. How we get there is customized for you, by you, with 2Revolutions at your side.
Whether we are supporting transformational change in a school system, an educator preparation program, or a single classroom, our approach is learner-centered. We will never offer a one-size-fits-all solution, because we are not the experts when it comes to the challenges facing your particular school district, educator prep program, or classroom. We are there to listen to the experts–you–and guide you through the process of creating the transformational change that your school or system needs.
