Education Systems for Modern Life & Work
We believe in the transformative power of education-not just as a tool for learning, but as a pathway to discovering and aligning with our deepest purpose. The world is changing rapidly, and our methodologies for learning need to transform with it to meet the needs of educators and young people.
In this dynamic time of technological advancement, we have to have systems to reclaim the attention span and authentic connection that have eroded.

TruNorth in Education Systems
Our Educational Heritage
TruNorth's team of Education specialists are first and foremost educators themselves: our team is comprised of individuals with background and training in administration, budgeting, and classroom teaching, from ECE through high school.

Our team brings deep expertise and lived experience in facilitating healing circles with educators to address and release the trauma that we are each holding from working within the system, while taking steps to embed Black, indigenous, and Latinx culture into the culture of the education institution and individual classrooms.
