Growth Partnerships
Ongoing Learning Design, Facilitation or Program Support Customized to Your Team Needs
Stewarding Learning Over Time
Flexible, sustained collaboration to strengthen your education work.
The Growth Partnership is a long-term collaboration for teams seeking comprehensive support in designing new learning experiences or stewarding ongoing programs, cohorts, or learning communities.
This work recognizes learning as a living system—shaped by relationships, context, and change over time. Rather than a one-off project, this partnership supports learning as something that is continuously designed, reflected on, and adapted.
Who is this for?
A Growth Partnership is a good fit for teams seeking:
Longer-term support in designing and piloting a new workshop, course, or other learning experience
Help in implementing ongoing or recurring learning programs
An experienced facilitator to support cohorts, networks, or learning communities
Ongoing guidance on adjusting learning to address complex social, civic, or environmental systems
A strategic learning partner rather than transactional support
Ongoing training to build long-term internal learning capacity
What’s Included?
Each Growth Partnership is tailored to your context, but typically includes a combination of the following:
A learning design cycle using the S.U.S.T.A.I.N. Model
We engage in a complete learning design cycle to clarify purpose, design learning experiences, gather feedback, and adapt over time. Learn more about the model here.Program and curriculum development
Collaborative design or refinement of learning programs, curricula, and learning journeys that respond to participant needs and organizational priorities.Facilitation of key sessions
Facilitation of workshops, convenings, or cohort sessions that support shared language, systems awareness, and meaningful participation.Reflection, iteration, and sensemaking
Structured opportunities to pause, reflect, and make sense of what is emerging—supporting learning at the individual, team, and program level.Long-term capacity and training planning
Development of a longer-term plan for building internal learning design, facilitation, and stewardship capacity within your organization.
