If you're here, you're probably tired of the traditional system and are ready to question what everyone else takes for granted. This is where we build the coalition of educators who refuse to accept "that's just how education works." Let's start with introductions that matter: Your Education Origin Story Tell us: - What moment made you realize something fundamental was wrong with traditional education? - When did you first catch a glimpse of what education could be when it truly serves human development? - What unspoken norm in education drives you absolutely crazy? - What transformation are you hoping to create in your classroom, school, or community? What I hope this community becomes: A coalition of paradigm breakers who co-create the tools, frameworks, and courage needed to prove that transformational education isn't just possible—it's inevitable when enough of us work together. Drop your story below! We're not just chatting online- we're building a movement. And every movement starts with brave individuals willing to share their truth and vision for something better. Let's revolutionize education together! Feel free to add new topics, ask questions, share resources, celebrations, and areas for growth. This is OUR platform for the dialogues that will break the paradigm!

Our first ever webinar- "A Responsive Classroom: Montessori for ALL" is happening today, right here in our Paradigm Breakers Collective community! Christine Lowry will be dropping truth bombs about why "Montessori isn't for everyone" is the biggest lie in education. If you've ever: - Had a child you couldn't figure out how to serve - Been told a student "needs a different environment" - Gone home exhausted from managing behaviors instead of guiding development This webinar will help you see the path to revolutionize your practice. TODAY 10/25 at 1pm EST (access it on the "Calendar" tab in our community)! Can't make it? We're running it again Nov 3rd (also on our "Calendar" tab) This isn't a workshop about giving you "tips and tricks." This is about transforming yourself and your prepared environment so EVERY child thrives. The revolution needs you there. See you in a couple hours, Andrew & Kelly P.S. We have something special for everyone who shows up live!

Hey Paradigm Breakers, We’re doing something we've never done before. On October 25th and November 3rd, Developing Education and Breaking the Paradigm are hosting a free webinar with Christine Lowry on making Montessori truly inclusive for ALL children- right here in our Paradigm Breakers Collective! And here's the really unique part: we’re giving away something massive to live attendees- more than we’ve ever given away before. Why? Because we’re building a coalition of educators who refuse to say "Montessori doesn't work for some kids." And I need this community—YOU—to help me spread this. On October 31st, we're also dropping the second edition of Provocations. The theme is "Beyond the Two-Dimensional Student: Humanizing Data in Education." This magazine raises the bar from our first edition. Revolutionary thinkers. Builder-practitioners. Zero corporate influence. Just paradigm-breaking ideas. If you’re so inclined: 1. Register for the webinar (link below) 2. Share it with your networks (it’s free!) 3. Get ready for Provocations on 10/31 You're the coalition builders. Let's capture lightning in a bottle together. Webinar Registration: https://forms.gle/zALBes8xgV4QJjez7 You'll also see the webinar in the calendar of our community. And in the meantime, I would love to hear from you- how do you meet the needs of neurodivergent learners in your prepared environments? What would you like to see/learn about in this interactive webinar?

You just took the most important step in your educational revolution. While most educators accept "that's just how school works," you're here because you refuse to settle for broken systems. You're ready to question everything, implement alternatives, and prove transformation is possible. Your Next Steps: - Start Your Revolution: Head to the "Classroom" tab and dive into the Paradigm Breakers Course - your roadmap to questioning unspoken norms and implementing real change. - Get Your Free Trial of Provocations Magazine: Experience the conversations mainstream education won't have → Claim your free trial here! - Introduce Yourself: Find the "Welcome" post below and share your educational origin story! The educational revolution won't be built by people who just consume content about change. It's being built by educators like you who question everything, implement alternatives, and prove that transformation is possible. The traditional education system had its chance. Now it's our turn. Welcome to the movement. Let's break some paradigms together!

Dear Paradigm Breakers Community, It's International Day of Peace- and sadly, it's clear that peace is not present around the world. As paradigm-breaking educators and leaders, we know that in order to build a better world, we can't just wait for our young people to figure it out. We must reach toward that better world, in whatever way we can, each and every day. I invite you all to check out this statement, authored by Ayize Sabater and myself, calling on all educators to stand up for the rights of all children, specifically in Palestine. https://andrewfaulstich.substack.com/p/do-you-have-montessoris-courage I also want to invite you all to take this statement a step further and join a Zoom call next Saturday 9/27 at 12:00pm EST to discuss moving our statement to action. RSVP here: https://forms.gle/9rGNagFAX1MubgWe8 Comment your ideas, thoughts, questions- how are you moving toward peace in your every day practice? Which norms are you breaking so we can better serve all children? In solidarity, Andrew
