While any activity can be enhanced by Empowered's learning strategy - Principles + Markets = Mindset (PMM) - we offer a library of activities including lesson guides, lists of suggested materials and resources, supplemental aids, and debrief questions that solidify the concepts covered and help students see their applicability in the real world. All our activities are available at no cost to Empowered Educators through our Empowered Hub. Learn more about - and get started with - our categories of activities, how to access and use our library, and how we can help you add PMM to your activity.
Classroom management is essential for teacher and student success. Empowered doesn't just offer activities to bring our learning model, Principles + Markets = Mindset (PMM), to life. We also offer a host of immediately accessible tools that help you establish and share your classroom vision, build and maintain a collaborative classroom culture, and leverage PMM daily. Any Empowered Educator can to request a Start-Up Kit, download our Getting Started Guide, use posters and bookmarks that reinforce principles, and consider using currency or bonds to reward meaningful contributions and value created by students.
To fully leverage our instructional strategy (PMM), Empowered truly believes training (professional development, ongoing learning, continuing education, etc.) - like the traditional classroom - needs a reboot. Our PD, collectively called RiseUp, is a portfolio of large and small, in-person and virtual, live and on-demand sessions that seek to engage and challenge participants, as an Empowered Teacher does their students. Individual teachers can access our RiseUp programs for free with Workshops available, at a cost, for school- and district-wide use. Let us help Empower your career.
Empowered is committed to teacher success. Our top priority is to nurture a community - currently 35,000+ in size - of educators who are collaborating, from the bottom up, to transform education using PMM. Our community represents every subject and grade level in myriad learning environments including traditional public and private schools, charter and magnet, micro and home, and more as well as community-based programs preparing young people to create and seize opportunities in life.
Taking full control over your classroom and career isn't easy but for teachers who want to maximize their student impact, Empowered offers several support options at no cost to teachers. If you want help getting started or going deeper with our learning strategy (Principles + Markets = Mindset (PMM)) or if you can't find exactly what you need on the Hub - let our team know. Our staff will arrange a 1:1 support session, help you attend a small group session, connect you to a fellow educator, and so much more. Let us know how we can help you succeed.
