About US

We are design scientists!

Teaching is about the design of productive learning experiences. It is about placing students in an environment where they want to learn and where they can naturally discover their true passions. And learning is a formative shift in learners’ cognitive schema. It is about moving minds and mindsets. If learners have not learned anything, then all a teacher may have done is ‘talked’ at them. Seen in this manner, teaching is design science, and teachers are designers of this learning experience, like directors of ensembles, or architects and engineers of roads, bridges and buildings.
