Placing curiosity and creativity at the center of learning.
IDEAL Bay Area cultivates vibrant, resilient communities of learning
We believe that schools are the heart of our communities, and students’ success is essential to the success and vitality of all of our futures. Placing creativity and inquiry at the center of learning prepares students for the world they will help to create, grow into and lead.
Our equity-centered holistic approach offers tools and strategies to develop creativity, deeper learning, care, and critical thinking.
Our practice is rooted in creative inquiry, social justice, and integrated arts-centered strategies that enrich and engage the imaginations of learners, teachers, administrators, and their communities.
”IDEAL is a valued partner in our work. Through our professional learning series with IDEAL, our leaders have expressed how they successfully approach persistent problems of practice with creative thinking that allow for innovative solutions and cycles of continuous improvement in their work.”
