ABOUT US
Interior Learning was inspired by a spiritual principle known as the ‘interior life.’ ‘The ‘interior life’ is all about asking the right questions of ourselves. What are our beliefs, values, biases, privileges, goals, and motivations? And how do those impact our teaching practices, ethics, and classroom culture? In order to help educators do the internal work for the benefit of themselves and their students, Interior Learning offers a unique combination of learning opportunities, workshops, and ala carte services that match our client’s needs.
