It has become so wonderfully normal around here for educators to learn together about cultures of thinking + deeper learning...AND to do so across grade levels, as well as mixing in and out of school. Amazing. Thank you, @Jeff_Evancho @peterwardrip @PghKids @ProjectZeroHGSE

It’s Randy Pausch Day!

Randy Pausch Day commemorates the life of ETC Co-Founder Randy Pausch. Pausch’s interdisciplinary teaching methodology and his approach to collaboration are the pillars on which our department stands to this day, and nothing exemplifies this better…

It's while since you heard from us, but only because October was such a busy month!

Last month we hosted guests from @playincluded who delivered Level 2 Brick-by-Brick Programme training to educators from across western PA.

Thanks to all who celebrated #Remake15 with us last night. In your bags is Better Together, a book that tells the story of how a small group of people coming together over breakfast has turned into a network of over 600 orgs. We hope that you enjoy it as much as we did making it.
