STAC partners with schools, districts, universities, agencies, nonprofits, and education organizations to strengthen learning design, professional learning, assessment, AI integration, and inclusive practice. Our work helps partners build Thinking Literacy so all students can learn deeply, use AI responsibly, and apply their thinking across subject areas.
What We Do
STAC helps partners turn big instructional goals into practical designs for classrooms, programs, and systems. We connect curriculum, assessment, professional learning, accessibility, and AI implementation so each part of the system supports deeper learning rather than working in isolation.
Assessment Support
We design and refine assessments that reveal student sensemaking and inform better learning decisions.
Professional Learning
We design professional learning that helps educators strengthen Thinking Literacy, use AI with purpose, and create inclusive learning experiences.
Accessible Learning by Design
We help partners design learning materials that reduce barriers and preserve rigorous thinking for all students.
Curriculum Development and Review
We help partners design and refine curriculum that builds sensemaking, strengthens Thinking Literacy, and supports meaningful learning.
AI Integration & Classroom Innovation
We help partners use AI with purpose to strengthen reasoning, preserve student thinking, and support meaningful learning.
Insights & Publications
Research, white papers, and collaborative publications that reflect STAC’s work in Thinking Literacy, science education, inclusion, assessment, and responsible AI use.
At STAC, we believe every student deserves access to rigorous, meaningful learning that builds curiosity, strengthens Thinking Literacy, and prepares students to participate thoughtfully in a changing world. Our commitment to equity is at the heart of everything we do.
We specialize in designing and adapting learning experiences that are rigorous, accessible, and responsive to the needs of all learners, including students with disabilities. Our team brings deep expertise in science education, accessibility, curriculum, assessment, and professional learning to help educators create meaningful opportunities for students in general and special education settings.
Through research-informed strategies, hands-on exemplars, and professional learning, we help educators reduce barriers and create learning environments where all students can reason, communicate, and thrive.
STAC is here to help every student engage in rigorous learning, because meaningful learning should be accessible to everyone.
Partner with us to build more inclusive learning systems where every student has meaningful opportunities to think, contribute, and succeed.
“We believe meaningful learning should be accessible to every student, and that educators, not tools, are the true drivers of innovation.”
