A modern framework for developing self-directed, collaborative, and adaptive learners—ready for the real world.
Teachers today are being asked to prepare students for a changing world. At the same time, they must manage standards, projects, and classroom dynamics.
Project-based learning, work-based learning, and student autonomy are powerful approaches, but they can feel chaotic without structure.
The Agile Educator Guide offers a clear path.
It is designed for project-based learning, science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), career and technical education (CTE), and work-based learning (WBL).
With this guide, students do more than complete tasks. They take ownership of learning.
This isn’t just a guide. It’s a way of thinking about learning.
In this short audio segment, you’ll hear the why behind the routines—how they help students grow, collaborate, and own their learning in real classrooms.
Take a moment. Press play. Step into the purpose behind the practice.
The Agile Educator Guide includes ready-to-use tools and routines that bring structure to student-led learning. These elements help teachers support autonomy, collaboration, and career-ready skills without chaos.
Watch a quick flip-through of the Agile Educator Guide before downloading. You’ll see key routines, visuals, and structure—all designed to help students take ownership of their learning.

The Agile Educator Guide isn’t Agile theory adapted for education. It was developed by educators and Agile experts working together inside real classrooms—not outside of them.
“This wasn’t adapted to fit education. It was built from inside it.”
This guide is rooted in how students learn best and how modern teams work in the real world.
It has been tested and refined with teachers leading project-based learning, science, technology, engineering, and math programs, career and technical education, and work-based learning.
It draws from the same Agile practices used by companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Netflix—but reshaped through the lens of classroom realities.
This isn’t a borrowed framework. It’s a trusted one.
