Event Rationale

Our biggest pet peeve in professional development is teaching educators a way we wouldn’t to our students. There’s no long-winded lectures here. Instead, we’re working in a small, close-knit cohort for changes you can actually utilize:

  • Our in-depth workshops are interactive. Every person has a valuable voice. We highly encourage webcams and/or microphones so everyone can help one another.

  • Our resources are human-centered and curtailed to our audience. We focus on motivation and a lifelong love of learning over test scores. We’ll provide research-backed resources that bolster your knowledge of progressive ed. and will help you reflect on improving your practice.

  • We do things differently. Outside of a few introductory activities, we’re tackling every situation in our cohort as a group. We’ll listen to situations, tackle objectives, and ensure that every educator leaves with personalized, sustainable tools and strategies.

“The Human Restoration Project wants to make an accessible, equitable learning platform that not only preaches progressive education for students, but employs the same techniques with educators.”
— Chris McNutt
Testimonials

[The strongest aspect was] the concrete examples being used in the classroom! - Lisa

The framework of talking around the handbook is wonderful. Good engagement with the participants. - Ken

I appreciated was how you started with WHY...I swear, this has gotten lost in education, and we must bring it back to the forefront of teachers minds. I believe this is the reason so many teachers burn out, or quit...they have lost sight of this. - Shannon

We’re public school teachers who actively engage in progressive education.

Nick Covington teaches Social Studies in Ankeny, Iowa, and promotes progressive education across the board in his classroom. Nick aims to reestablish the idea of what school could be to one of student-centered success that relies on their ideas and knowledge, instead of a dictated “future ready” curriculum. Nick incorporates an economics portfolio of learning to intrinsically motivate students to learn. He shares this information in education conferences on Standards Based Grading and professional development.
