Our Interactive courses are designed to create confident project and concept teachers who can facilitate learning among a group of self directed learners.

How We Work With Schools

Drawing on my 10 years of experience in education and founding UP Academy, I craft experiential and useful professional development for educators. I bring my unique approach to project, inquiry and concept based learning to you, and make it easy to understand and execute in the classroom.

  • Introductory Workshops

    In this introductory workshop we will begin to explore what project and concept based learning is and how your administration or educators can implement elements in the classroom right away!

  • PBL Development and Support

    This two day workshop does a deep dive into developing projects that align with standards and create space for student inquiry and interests. Optional ad-on: On-going development support in the classroom through the launch and stages of the project until completion.

  • Personalized Development for your Team

    Each workshop is curated to include your schools goals and values. I make sure that we are working to be inclusive of all students and incorporate your schools philosophies into our curriculum structure.

I'd love to talk with you about how we can help your school adopt project based learning and how we can give your educators the skills and support to be successful.
