Welcome to The Inspired Learning Project

The Inspired Learning Project is a journey to connect us with the reasons we became educators. Together we will travel beyond the limits of standardized testing and accountability systems. We'll leave behind a culture of teaching in favor of a culture of learning. We'll empower students' voices and passions to be the compass that guides our practice. We'll blaze a path to a reimagined future of learning where success is measured not by data but by stories of inspired learning."

Can you pinpoint your most powerful moment of learning?  Can you identify a time when education moved beyond the limits of the classroom to make an imprint on your future? In schools all across the globe, talented educators are breaking away from traditional, teacher-focused schooling in favor of relevant, engaging, and powerful learning experiences.

To encourage life-changing learning, modern educators are moving beyond the delivery of prescribed content and knowledge. They are leaving behind past practices in order to empower students to pursue their passions, to encourage learners to be problem-seekers as well as problem solvers, to transform our classrooms into the community, to access technology to amplify their impact, and to embody the essence of inspired learning.

The Inspired Learning Project is a network of teachers and leaders whose mission is to support educators who are committed to the challenging, yet rewarding work of reimagining our schools. In addition to building a community of like-minded educators, the ILP provides the following supports:

The Blog: The Inspired Learning Project will share blog posts with examples of lessons, units, assessments, projects, etc. that inspire students. Borrow ideas from your colleagues or share your own stories of inspired learning.

The Resources: Each week the Inspired Learning Project will share resources that will prompt you to think about teaching and learning in new ways.

The Network: Each month The Inspired Learning Project will host a face-to-face digital conversation about learning that matters. Participate from home, the classroom, or your office at 8pm (Eastern Standard Time) through a video conference format. (Join the meeting by clicking here.)

The Modern Learning Convention: Join like-minded educators in the spring of 2018 for a professional conference that provides a showcase of modern learning. Hosted at Nipmuc Regional High School, The Modern Learning Fair will provide a platform to share your stories of inspired learning and borrow strategies from your colleagues. Join us in March to build a network that will help you to continue to evolve your professional practice.
