We’re building a new model for Community-Engaged Project Based Learning
We’re well past the need for the kinds of experiences that can develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions students must have to take on a rapidly changing world.
Post-pandemic, the isolation, stress, and burnout experienced by both students and teachers poses an even greater risk to schools. We won’t get out of this mess unless students and teachers can see a path to who they want to become and how they can work together to get there.
We know…
How to listen. To students, to community partners, and most importantly, to teachers. We know how to listen for stifled passions, immediate demands, and broader goals.
That building capacity is a much bigger challenge than teaching skills. That skills alone are not enough. That focus, trust, and collaboration are central.
How to connect the dots. How to see where the passions of students, the dreams of teachers, and goals of partners can align to support something new for K12 schools.
How to make that work within all the constraints, demands, and the energy sapping just-getting-through-the-day teachers face.

Over the past eight years we’ve built a broad network of educators and partners eager to collaborate to build a new vision for education in Milwaukee. It’s a model centered on community-engaged project based learning with ongoing opportunities to build capacities, connections, and trust.
We have a growing portfolio of experiments, projects, and initiatives. If you want to be part of what education in Milwaukee ought to look like, there’s a place for you.
