Our mission is for every student to get the best
For too long, K-12 education has been “one-size-fits-all” in a “sit and get” format. Preparing students for tests outweighs preparing students for life. It stifles innovation and outcomes for teachers, students, and society. Our community, with 54,000+ teachers, knows there IS a better way. Learn about Empowered. Join our community.
ABOUT EMPOWERED
Changing Classrooms to Change Outcomes
Empowered isn’t about “what” to teach. Our tools apply to any activity, strategy, curriculum, or methodology, subject, grade, or setting. It’s about “how” to inspire.
We offer any teacher, at no financial cost, the trust and resources they need to transform their classrooms into spaces that draw-from and apply-to the real world.
All of our tools support a way of teaching that improves outcomes by giving every learner ownership of their education and choices. Their students better- connect, in their own way, to learning. They leave school prepared for life and emboldened with a growth mindset.
As the Empowered Community grows, so will its impact. More students, and teachers, will seize more opportunities, and create greater success for themselves, and society.
