Our Values

We believe that a globally-connected, locally-relevant education founded in purpose and participation forms leaders prepared to meet the challenges of our times.

The world is facing more challenges than we have people with the skills and knowledge to solve them. Principled Learning Strategies is helping to change that, one classroom at a time.

  • Globally-connected learning ensures students, teachers and leaders develop intercultural competencies, understand the interconnection of local and global challenges, and engage the world in compassionate and equitable ways.
  • Locally-relevant, place-based learning motivates a sense of agency and meaning that improves learning outcomes and ensures that intercultural and problem-solving skills are applied locally as much as globally.
  • Student-centered education grounded in protagonism ensures deep engagement and the development of key competencies for our times, including collaboration, problem solving, creativity, critical thinking, communication, and more. Student agency can also help us shape better educational cultures and practices.
  • Fostering comfort with controversial topics in educators and learners supports more pluralistic critical dialogue and skills for our times, and helps leaders handle resistance to practices they believe are good for learners.

We bring authenticity to workshops and coaching, ensuring relevance and impact.

Professional learning experiences are often too far removed from the realities of the classroom experience. We believe that only by engaging in relevant authentic challenges, globally-connected learning, and identity-responsive practices themselves can educators build the skills they seek to foster in their students. We balance theory with practice to ensure lasting impact in the classroom and across the school culture, and services are personalized to the needs of each community.

We leverage our networks and alliances to support you and your community.

Each member of our team leverages a global network of schools, organizations and experts, all of whom are working to improve the world in their own way. Whether our clients need more resources for Project-Based Learning, are seeking potential global partners for classroom and school-wide learning experiences, need support for infrastructural redesign, are seeking coaching for facilitating "brave conversations" on race and other facets of identity, or need support helping parents and other stakeholders see the value of school change, we will leverage our networks and alliances to help clear your community's path toward success.
