IN ACTION

A Look Inside

See how educators and school staff move from uncertainty to confidence, and start getting their time back.

THE JOURNEY

Your staff carries more than any job description shows.

The emails, the parent letters, the schedules, the reports, the lesson plans written late at night. AI can lift a real share of that weight, but only if your people feel confident using it and know where the lines are. Handing them a tool without a plan just adds one more thing to learn.

That's why every program moves through the MAVEN™ Framework, a human-centered approach to adopting AI as part of your school's workforce development, built to protect what matters most in your building.

  1. M: Mindset

    We begin by shifting from fear to possibility, so your team sees AI as a collaborator and not a threat.

  2. A: Assess

    We learn where your people are: their skills, their comfort with AI, and where their time goes today.

  3. V: Vision

    Together, we decide what AI should take on in your school, and what must always stay human.

  4. E: Execute

    Staff and teachers learn by doing, with weekly practice tied to their real work and a capstone at the end.

  5. N: Nurture

    We measure what changed and hand you an outcomes report showing the time saved and the confidence gained.

Programs

Staff Core Program

6 weeks · 90-minute sessions · $12,000

For the people who keep your school running. Staff learn to use ChatGPT or Claude, along with Copilot in Outlook, Word, Teams, and Excel, to handle communication, meeting notes, scheduling, and reports in a fraction of the time. Every week includes practice tied to their actual job.

Staff walk away with: a personal AI workflow, presented at the final capstone.

Teacher Core Program: L&D Meets AI

6 weeks · 90-minute sessions · $12,000

Built on the same learning design principles used in Fortune 500 training, including ADDIE, backward design, Bloom's taxonomy, and Universal Design for Learning, with AI as the build tool. Teachers choose to work in Canva AI or ChatGPT and Copilot, and every session gives them something they can use in class the following week.

Teachers walk away with: a complete unit they built with AI, ready to teach.

Think, Make, or Me? Teaching With an AI Mindset

Half-day $3,500 · Full day $6,000

This workshop isn't about tools. It's about judgment. Teachers explore three questions: when can AI help me think through a problem, when can it help me make something, and when does this moment need me? Through hands-on play, honest conversation, and real classroom scenarios, every teacher leaves with a personal AI Teaching Compass. The full day adds an afternoon build round, where teachers create a real upcoming lesson with AI.

Every program includes Pre- and post-program surveys, an outcomes report for school leadership, and Rules of the Road for safe and responsible AI use, including what NYC guidance says AI should never be used for.

ADD-ONS

Beyond the Tools

Leadership Workshops for Staff and Teachers

Leading Across Generations (3-part series)

Turn generational differences among staff and colleagues into better conversations about feedback, flexibility, and technology.

Working Well With AI

For employees who feel curious, uneasy, or quietly behind. We make AI adoption feel human: what is changing, what is not, and how to stay confident and valuable as new tools arrive.

No More Burnout

Resilience and sustainable pace in an always-on workplace. Participants name what is draining them and leave with small, realistic habits they can actually keep.

Feedback That Lands

Giving and receiving feedback that is clear, specific, and kind. Participants practice simple conversation structures and learn to hear hard feedback without shutting down.

Navigating Conflict at Work

Tension is normal; staying stuck in it is not. Participants learn to recognize their own conflict style, slow a heated moment down, and move a disagreement toward a workable next step.

Leading People Through Change

For managers guiding teams through reorganizations, new systems, and uncertainty. How to communicate what you know, admit what you do not, and keep people steady and engaged.

Emotional Intelligence at Work

Self-awareness, self-management, empathy, and relationship skills, applied to real workplace moments like tense meetings, missed deadlines, and difficult emails.

Psychological Safety

Building teams where people speak up, ask questions, and admit mistakes early. Practical behaviors any team member or leader can model starting the next day.

In person: $1,200 per session · $3,300 per 3-part series

Virtual: $950 per session · $2,700 per 3-part series
