Marnie, Debby and Sarah were on a mission. As passionate educators, they had seen far too much of the same old uninspiring rigid instruction or play based environment without accountability taking place in classrooms everywhere. They knew there was a better way to teach children – one that was engaging, stimulating and empowered students — but how could it be done?
So they decided to take action and test the curriculum inside the classrooms of Young Innovators Academy. When it came time for teachers to implement this new method of teaching, something unexpected happened: many weren’t quite sure how to make it work or even grasp its concepts as most had never experienced this type of approach as learners themselves!
As the team embarked on a transformational journey with this program, It wasn’t long before the entire faculty at Young Innovators Academy embraced this revolutionary approach which resulted in an unprecedented level of engagement from both teachers and students alike.
Word spread quickly throughout education circles about their revolutionary new program, leading them to open up their schools’ doors for other educators who wanted access to this innovation advantage for themselves and their students.
Our team’s dream is now becoming reality; together we can make sure our next generation receives an education tailored towards unlocking its full potential by helping adults reconnect with their inner innovator.
