How we work

Our creation cycle.

Every engagement starts with listening. We learn your context, surface the real problem, and build with you. Each cycle teaches the next.

01

Audit

We start by listening. We dig into your data, observe in classrooms, talk to teachers and leaders, and surface the patterns no one's named yet. The goal isn't to confirm what you already think. It's to find what's actually happening.
02

Co-design

We partner with educators, leaders, and students to shape solutions that fit your community. Not consultants handing off a plan, but co-designers building alongside you.
03

Prototype

We build something testable, a tool, a workflow, a program, and put it in real hands fast. Small enough to fail safely, real enough to teach us something.
04

Implement

We support the rollout, train your team, and refine based on what we learn in practice. Then the cycle starts again with a new question, a new prototype, a deeper understanding.

A practitioner-built tool

AI-powered feedback for student writing.

Instead of writing for students, ConnectInk offers coaching-style feedback that helps students draft and revise their own work. Built around a multi-genre knowledge base — from personal narrative and research papers to poetry, literary analysis, and more — it meets students where they are. Developed with CPET at Teachers College, Columbia University.

Multi-Genre Feedback across 12+ writing types

Feedback Tools AI Coach, Reader's Lens, and Final Review

Coaching Dialogue Follow up and keep the conversation going

Personal Narrative Write about a moment that changed how you see something — or someone.

My grandmother's kitchen always smelled like cumin and warm bread. Every Sunday she'd wake before dawn and move between the stove and counter like the steps were memorized. She never measured anything. The flour went in by feel, the salt by sound. I never understood why she worked so hard at it. Then one morning she put my hands in the dough and said, "This is how we remember." I didn't know what she meant then. I think I'm starting to.
