Learning Currents isn’t just a firm, but a collection of educators dedicated to improving systems by listening first. Not every problem has a one-size-fits-all solution. We look at local contexts of place, culture, and people for every system, while working to provide the most appropriate solutions. Connected Globally – Centered Locally. This isn’t a catch phrase for us. Our ultimate goal is to help systems become part of the global community while retaining all that makes them unique and special.
We chose the name, Learning Currents, because water represents life and learning. Flowing water can start as a trickle, join to other sources to form rivers and eventually flow into an interconnected sea. Stop the flow of water and it can become stagnant. We believe this is true with learning, too. That learning should never stop and we should always seek to be connected with others to create a learning continuum.
Mission
Connecting individuals to the global community while retaining the uniqueness of their local sense of place.

Learning Currents has a diverse amount of talent in its consultants. The leadership team provides the core foundation, but each project is different and often requires additional, locally-based consultants to ensure cultural context and implementation integrity. We don’t pretend to know everything about every culture and place…so we truly believe that we partner with organizations and school systems, not just contract with them.
