Elevate your practice.

Groundbreaking ADEI learning sessions for Adult Education professionals. Geared towards action.

Experience a new approach to creating inclusivity. Our antiracism, diversity, equity, and inclusion (ADEI) workshops are nationally recognized for their innovation and results. Designed in collaboration with the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) Adult and Community Learning Services Unit (read more about our work together here,) our sessions will help your programs deliver the best education possible for your adult students.
