NAVIGATION NORTH – IT BEGINS WITH EDUCATORS & LEARNERS
Navigation North began as a team of educators and educational resource developers working with technology to re-imagine and re-design:
- How teachers can be better supported in their practice
- How student learning, in and out of class, can be improved
- How education systems can more readily adopt and integrate innovation
While much of our work involves designing and implementing systems, resources, and communities of practice on statewide and national levels, we still regularly work within individual schools and classrooms to ensure our thinking and project approaches meet the needs of leaders, teachers, and learners.
