Research, Refined: Two Decades of Inquiry in Action
For over 20 years, our work has operated at the intersection of academic research and classroom reality. It is not just theoretical; it is a “research-to-practice” model refined through long-term collaborations with educators across K-12 and higher education.
The publications below represent our commitment to scaling these proven methods; from leveraging Library of Congress primary sources to pioneering AI-supported disciplinary literacy. Each handbook and study serves as a blueprint for transforming professional development into what our 2025 participants called a “phenomenal” learning experience.
