Teachers and students perform better when they love going to school.
Through improvisation-based professional development, we help teachers engage their students as empathetic, critical thinkers.
Inspired Teachers are Instigators of Thought who fuel students’ curiosity.
Your Inspiration and Toolkit for the Week Ahead
Hooray for Monday is an award-winning professional learning resource that supports educators in turning current events and tough moments into rich opportunities for learning.
Live Like A Citizen And Listen
Eric Liu and Aleta Margolis explore how listening well sparks curiosity, strengthens student engagement, and helps us learn to live together.
Since our founding, Center for Inspired Teaching has taught thousands of educators how to transform their classrooms and schools — away from compliance toward authentic engagement — while addressing standards and meeting goals.

Inspired Teaching Residency has very clear expectations for our role as residents and for us as lead teachers next year. They have given us many helpful tools and feedback to improve our
instruction in the classroom. I feel supported by my residency program. They are very willing to listen to our feedback and work with us so that we have the best experience possible.
