We’re rethinking teacher professional development.

Teachers deserve better than compliance hours and seat time.

Most professional development checks a box. CIP Learning does something different: we help teachers design and lead real learning—for their students, their communities, and themselves.

Proof Over Paperwork.

Our flagship program, the SPARK Teacher Fellowship, uses personalized, competency-based learning to guide teachers through the full cycle of innovative practice: design, implement, document, and publicly share community-connected projects with their students.

Kindergarteners partner with the local fire station to create disaster preparedness PSAs. Students launch farm-to-table programs rooted in agricultural science. Kids collaborate with city recycling departments to build park benches from recycled plastic.

Teachers document the process—wins and struggles alike—then share their learning publicly with community members and peers. No mystery about impact. No question about growth.

When your teachers work with us, we write the story of transformative teaching and learning together.

Rigorous professional learning that produces evidence, not just hours.

Teachers design, implement, reflect on, and publicly share community-connected classroom projects—transformative experiences for them and all of their students; especially those students with diverse needs. Students engage in authentic, community-based learning with deep reflection, performance assessments, and public presentations of their work.

The Framework:

  • Competency-based, aligned to your school/district priorities

  • 10–20 teachers per cohort

  • 6 sessions + real classroom projects, all documented

  • Culminates in public presentations of learning

  • Via Zoom—no subs needed

Investment: $1,500 per teacher
