IN THEIR OWN WORDS
What people
notice.
The work is designed to be felt in classrooms and communities: in confidence, engagement, writing, relationships, curiosity, and what people begin to believe is possible.
EDUCATION + ADMINISTORS
The clearest evidence often begins with a change in the room.
“When we released all of our other contract programs, we chose to keep Pseads. In fact, we expanded our partnership to include not only classroom programs, but direct work with our educators and staff. This isn’t an enrichment program. It’s a shift in culture and a shift in what’s possible for our school.”
Principal and Veteran Administrator
“I value this program more than any other in our school district because of the way that it empowers students and has them embrace the way that they see the world is unique and valuable and needs to be heard.”
English Department Chair, Veteran Educator
“My students have had a big boost in confidence. They are more willing to share their work because Pseads educators create a safe space for all work to be celebrated.”
Elementary Educator
“Students who never wanted to write anything… were so free in poetry. It was like they were doing a wild dance in their soul.”
6th Grade Teacher
“Pseads can restore a love of learning and passion, even for students and educators who have become deeply disengaged.”
University Professor
“Student engagement is up. Writing is stronger. Learning is more dynamic and inclusive. There is palpable joy on campus.”
Principal and Veteran Administrator
“Through these programs, I came to believe in my ability to pursue this path, and to make a meaningful difference anywhere I go.”
