Our Mission
Center for Inspired Teaching is building a better school experience for children through innovative teacher training.
Our Model
Central to Inspired Teaching’s professional development is a process that encourages teachers to rethink their role. We’re committed to ending the practice of “delivering” professional development to teachers. We’re working toward making teachers full collaborators in school improvement and reform strategies.

Inspired Teaching’s professional development model is supported by evidence-based research about how people learn. Our programs are based in best practices in teacher education and in the belief that every student possesses the ability to think critically, understand information, and solve complex problems. Inspired Teachers are Instigators of Thought who teach students how to think, not what to think. Inspired Teachers engage students in the Wonder-Experiment-Learn cycle and embrace the 5 Core Elements of Inspired Teaching and the 4 I’s: Intellect, Inquiry, Imagination, and Integrity.
