Who We Have Worked With

Students are falling behind.

Teachers are quitting faster
than ever.

Teachers are quitting faster than ever.

80% of students are falling behind in skills that students had in the 1980s, while over 50% of teachers have said they will
likely leave teaching within the next three years.

You can fix that.

As Seen On

Integrate Deeper Thinking

What is Deeper Thinking

What if the real crisis in education isn’t apathy, but disconnection? In this inspiring and thought-provoking talk, educator and speaker Katie challenges the way we think about learning.

Through personal stories and classroom experiences, she reveals how today’s education system has stifled curiosity, creativity, and deeper thinking, leaving students disengaged and unprepared for the future. With humor, insight, and a call to action, Katie shows how fearless curiosity, critical thinking, and meaningful connections can transform not just classrooms but entire communities. Because when students are empowered to think boldly and care deeply, they don’t just learn. They lead.

Katie Trowbridge

Our President and CEO
Creator of the CREATE Method

During my 25 years of teaching high school English, I witnessed firsthand the decline in student engagement and the loss of passion for teaching among my own colleagues. I knew something needed to change, so I developed The CREATE Method with the help of some amazing teachers. My goal was to create professional development and coaching that teachers actually want. I now bring the CREATE Method to schools, conferences, and teachers nationwide.
