  • Principles
  • Markets
  • Mindset

Foundational Principles

Consistent ideas that serve as a basis for choices and behaviors that are applicable not only in the classroom but, more importantly, in all aspects of life.

Real-World Markets

Open and free environments where goods, services, time, ideas, and knowledge are exchanged. Engagement is incentivized and meaningful contribution is rewarded.

Growth Mindset

A classic truth finally getting its due in education - the goal is to improve the attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions one holds about their ability to succeed in any situation.
BUT HOW DOES PMM "WORK"?

PMM Challenges Teachers and Students to Think Bigger

PMM, as a learning strategy, isn’t what or how to teach but it is, instead, a way of teaching that guides students on their educational journey.

When Empowered Teachers use PMM in any class or setting, the create a decisionmaking framework where every student can use critical thinking to explore, discover their passions, develop their talents, and prepare to maximize their success in life.

PMM creates greater impact because it acknowledges that every learner is unique, with their own experiences, abilities, and goals. Doing so allows for a more individualized educational journey where everyone understands their opportunity, and obligation, to create success for themselves and their community.
