Our work
Proof should come from the work.
Authentic Learning Lab draws credibility from implementation: what was designed, who it served, what people experienced, what changed, and what the work made possible.
School design
Designing a school around its place
Iyari School was designed by Authentic Learning Lab around its learners, its community, and the landscape of Careyes.
Higher education
Launching a Center for Teaching and Learning
At the inauguration of the Center for Teaching and Learning at the University of the Americas (UDLA) in Quito, Ecuador, we inspired and coached university professors in place- and project-based learning, and showed them how to use their surroundings as curriculum.
Professional learning
Inspiring educators through the art of connection
One of many teacher trainings we have conducted across the Americas, getting educators inspired through the art of connection.
Schedule redesign
Making time for deeper learning
Supporting Brophy College Preparatory in Phoenix, Arizona, through its transition to block scheduling.
Speaking
Bringing the conversation to your stage
Nicholas speaks at multiple events every year and would be glad to join an upcoming event on education and the future of work.
Your community
What should learning make possible where you are?
Bring us the aspiration, the unfinished idea, or the persistent gap. Every engagement begins with your people and your place.
Selected areas of practice
Designing globally informed, place-based curriculum
Learning experiences across multiple countries and disciplines connected academic study with field sites, community expertise, local questions, and meaningful creation.
Building systems educators can use
Program architecture, curriculum development, professional-learning systems, educator toolkits, and national implementation have translated broad aspirations into usable structures.
Creating community-connected learning
Projects and programs have connected learners with scientists, artists, employers, elders, civic institutions, entrepreneurs, and community organizations.
Developing educators at scale
Professional learning has supported educators working across varied roles, institutions, resource contexts, and cultures.
