Our Reason for Being

The world is changing. Now more than ever, students need critical thinking skills. 

We're here to provide schools and districts with the technology, curriculum, and professional development to equip every student for the real world.

By giving every educator the resources to spark courageous thinking, we can truly have an impact on student growth, creating equitable access to quality education.

Our Research-Based Software & Curriculum

Designed by NCTE teachers and nationally recognized literacy experts, ThinkCERCA is built upon proven methods for developing students’ language and literacy skills.

At the heart of our software and curriculum is a research-based framework–CERCA–for teaching students how to read, write, and think critically across subjects.
