Ways to Engage
The curriculum is the content. The cohort is the experience. The relationships are the outcome. Three entry points — an individual teacher, a school, or a network. What changes across the tiers is the depth of the relationship.
A single teacher, any subject, any school. The easiest way to enter the work — full curriculum access plus a seat in the monthly cohort with Alfredo, Amy, and 15–18 other teachers from across the country. Teachers come for the curriculum and stay for the relationships with peers wrestling with the same questions.
A school running the curriculum across multiple classrooms and sections, full academic year. Everything in the Educator Pilot, scaled across the school — plus a private partnership at the school level. Cohort calls remain shared with educators from other schools; what's added is the dedicated relationship with the school's teaching team.
A district, charter network, diocesan school system, or institutional network. Everything in School Adoption, scaled across the network — plus a cohort the network owns. Alfredo and Amy facilitate a dedicated cohort attended only by the network's educators, grounded in the network's specific context. The network shapes the curriculum's evolution as it grows.
The curriculum is built by Alfredo Mathew III, drawing on twenty-five years of public-school teaching and a decade building economic ecosystems for communities the mainstream economy left out. The cohort is facilitated by Amy Chan, drawing on twenty-five years developing civic education and youth leadership programs. You'll meet both of them in every session.
