Let’s be honest. Most professional development sucks.

Most teacher PD checks a box. CIP Learning does something different: we help teachers design and lead real learning for their students, their communities, and themselves.

Proof Over Paperwork.

Our SPARK Teacher Fellowships, use personalized, competency-based learning to guide teachers through a full cycle of innovative practice: design, implement, document, and publicly share community-connected projects.

With us:

  • Kindergarteners partner with the local fire station to create disaster preparedness PSAs.

  • Students launch farm-to-table programs rooted in agricultural science.

  • Kids collaborate with city recycling departments to build park benches from recycled plastic.

Teachers document the process—wins and struggles alike—then share their learning publicly with community members and peers. No mystery about impact. No question about growth.

Our partners are determined to transform teaching and learning.

We purposefully seek to partner with districts who:

  • have or are developing a portrait of a learner

  • are moving to performance- and competency-based systems of assessment and accountability

  • believe in classroom-embedded, community-based partnerships

When your teachers work with us, we write the story of transformative teaching and learning together. Our partnerships result in Proof Over Paperwork.
