The Paradigm Breakers are Gathering- And You're Invited!
Hey Paradigm Breakers,
I've got something I'm genuinely excited to share with you.
After months of conversations with educators who are tired of the status quo, one thing became crystal clear: we need each other.
The most powerful part of breaking educational paradigms isn't just learning new ideas, it's connecting with other rebels who “get it.” Who understand why you can't just keep doing things the way they've always been done. Who share your vision of what education could become.
That's why I'm thrilled to announce our new Breaking the Paradigm/Developing Education Virtual Community: a space designed specifically for educators ready to revolutionize their practice.
What Makes This Special?
This isn't another online group where your posts get buried in algorithms. This is a dedicated platform where paradigm breakers like you can:
Share breakthrough moments when you try something revolutionary in your classroom
Connect with like-minded educators who are pushing boundaries in their schools
Celebrate wins when your students thrive in ways traditional education never allowed
Think of it as your professional home base for educational revolution.
Ready to Join Your People?
The community is completely free! Revolutionary education happens when we support each other, share our struggles, and celebrate our wins together.
For Those Ready to Go Deeper...
If you're thinking "I'm ready to stop talking about change and start implementing it," we've also created two focused mini-courses within the community, with more on the way:
Discarding the Five Paragraph Essay: The First Step in Revolutionary Language Pedagogy: Watch adolescents reclaim their voices when language becomes liberation instead of formulaic prison. Discover how to transform writing instruction from a compliance tool into identity construction that honors true adolescent development.
Scientific Observation: Your Inner Scientist: Discover the foundational keys to transforming from teacher to scientist through Montessori's revolutionary observation methods. You'll leave with the scientific mindset and observation principles necessary to start your own journey of studying authentic human development, but the real transformation happens through your daily practice of these revolutionary approaches.
Here's the thing: we believe so strongly in the power of implementation that, through the end of September, if you complete either course, share your reflections in our community, AND show us how you've put the ideas into practice, we'll refund the cost of the course. You can choose to have your payment refunded directly or save it as credit toward our 6 and 16 week courses coming in 2026!
Everyone is on a different place on their educational journey. If you’re at a moment in your career where these courses can boost you along, we hope this provides some incentive to not just absorb, but to apply- to truly test the ideas, share your results, and move our movement forward!
The revolution happens when we stop trying to change education alone.
Ready to join us?
Looking forward to seeing you inside,
Andrew, Kelly, and Ilhaam
P.S. Can't wait to see the conversations that spark when passionate educators have a dedicated space to push each other's thinking. This is going to be good!
Want to Deepen Your Paradigm Breaking Practice?
After two years of exposing the education status quo, we're going deeper.
Provocations, our new publication, brings together the most innovative global minds—the educators, rebels, and visionaries who refuse to accept that "this is just how school works."
Each issue reveals the hidden patterns keeping millions trapped in outdated systems, and the proven strategies already transforming communities worldwide.
This isn't another academic journal. It's the playbook for parents, teachers, and leaders ready to break free from an education system designed for a world that no longer exists.
