How can I build what I’m envisioning? How can I practice the approach I’m working on?

The CREATE zone is all about building and practicing. Whether you are working on a plan, a product, a process, or an approach, you will find resources to help you with your specific need. You can access:

AI-supported bots to help you design effective learning experiences that support competency development
A learning experience design toolkit filled with protocols, explanations, and templates to use "as-is" or to adapt
A checklist to help ensure you're keeping the Culture of Care and Learning at the forefront of your work

Let's Create!

How am I doing? How can I measure impact? How can we embed these designs and practices into our system? How do I share and expand the learning?

The IMPACT zone involves learning from what you designed in the CREATE zone and learning from and expanding the impact.

Did my product have the intended effect
How might I collect and analyze data
How can I expand the impact in my classroom? In my school?

Let's measure & expand our impact!
