Meadowbrook faculty are more than teachers. They are scholars who think about how they’re teaching, and who they’re teaching, and how they can improve. They seek the best content and approaches—and continually test them against outcomes-based standards.
Through the Meadowbrook Leadership Institute, faculty explore and implement new ideas to build the curriculum of the future based on best practices. They share their knowledge nationally and internationally at conferences on everything from design thinking to multicultural education.
