OUR APPROACH
Enriching Institutions, Empowering Students
What would it look like if the everyday learning and teaching in our schools aligned purposefully with our mission and values? What if we could weed through the overwhelming (and often conflicting!) messages about new curricula, educational trends, and "best practice" to select learning materials and pedagogy that will most effectively match your goals and maximize your students' potentials? At Allie Hauser Consulting, we take the guesswork out of selecting the curricula and instructional strategies that bring your educational vision to life. Using our innovative decision-making framework, we work closely with you and your team through every step of the curriculum identification and design process, from articulating your values and priorities to curriculum selection and implementation.
OUR CORE VALUES
Identifying and operationalizing your and your school's core values are at the heart of our work at Allie Hauser Consulting. Ensuring our values are aligned will give us the foundation to build success. Are we a good fit?
Wonder
Children are naturally curious and are filled with endless wonder and awe for the world. Similarly, our process is centered around approaching challenges from a lens of curiosity, opportunity, and innovation.
Collaboration
Learning is a team sport. Our philosophy is built around partnership and community - from ensuring we understand and respect your unique values and goals to making certain that all key stakeholders' voices are included.
Excellence
Ron Berger said, "Once a student creates work that is sophisticated, and beautiful, that student is never the same." We take this same approach in our work with schools - our process helps you set ambitious goals and includes protocols for revision and iteration to ensure success. We don't believe in phoning it in - if you're going to do something, you should do it well.
Joy
"Niente Senza Gioia - Nothing without joy" (Loris Malaguzzi, principal founder of the Reggio Emilia approach to education). Our work together (and our work with the children!) should be joyful. If we're not laughing together and finding play and flow in the work, we believe that's a sign we're on the wrong track.
