ABOUT 8˚ UP

BUILDING THE SCHOOLS OF THE FUTURE

8Degrees Up is an educational consulting firm that supports schools in becoming Highly Effective and Learning Progressive learning organizations. The paradigm for schools has changed. The future will be owned by those who can learn, unlearn, and relearn.  Schools need to cultivate students that know themselves, know how to learn and know how to leverage their unique strengths.  At 8Degrees Up we believe that schools are ready to evolve.  Our focus is to support schools in becoming learning progressive by personalizing learning and empowering students with agency.  For students to own their future, they must first own their learning.  

LEARNER CENTERED

We believe schools must be learner-centered, empowering each child with the skills and dispositions to have agency in their learning.

FUTURE FOCUSED

For students to be prepared for their future they must internalize the learning process so they create and re-create their future.

CONTEXT AWARE

PERSONALIZED

We believe deeply that context matters and no two schools or students are alike.

To capture the human potential of our future, we must personalize the experience so that all students achieve high levels of success.
