Where meeting student needs is enhanced

Building a community of lifelong learners!

About Us

Dedicated Educators

Craig Merrill and Shannon Hobby Psensky (HP) have a combined 20+ years of teaching. Working together for 11 years, they have developed a more modern approach to Co-teaching in the 21st century classroom.  Meeting the needs of students in a diverse classroom while meeting the demands of curriculum and life skills has become a passion for these educators. 

We believe that all students can learn. Using Co-teaching to meet those needs is important.

Philosophy

We believe that all students can learn, and Co-teaching is a great way to meet their needs. We have designed a way to use traditional co-teaching models in the 21st century classroom allowing students to become more independent and investigative. 

Professional Development Opportunities

We offer professional development to districts. The presentation can be modified to work within your needs. Contact us for more information.
