Contributive Learning
Education to add to the world.
Doing something different.
Led by education leader Joanne McEachen and a team of international experts, we bring decades of diverse educational experience to guide schools, educators, learners, and communities.
What matters most in your communities should be decided locally and built around your unique goals and values. We tailor our support to determine what success means to you, and then to help you achieve it.
Our Contributive Learning Framework focuses on the outcomes learners need—self-understanding, connection, knowledge, and competency—and on how schools can enable learning and wellbeing for all.
