Description:

“The mission of the Antioch Center for School Renewal is to work with schools and communities to make lasting, positive change in the day to day school experiences of the students, educators, and families we serve.”

The Antioch Center for School Renewal has 30+ years of experience in providing high quality professional development for educators across New England. As the service division of the Department of Education at Antioch University New England, our school coaches, drawn from highly skilled, experienced K-12 teacher-leaders, consultants, and core university faculty, are part of an educational institution that dates back to Horace Mann and embodies the values of progressive, student-centered education.

We believe that:
*students and teachers do well when they can.
*relationships are the foundation of all learning, that knowing others and being known is the key to success.
*social-emotional learning must be embedded in authentic academic experiences.
there is no single path to successful change and that no two good schools look alike.
*organizations develop organically and, like all living systems, grow best in healthy environments.
*schools should be organized for the success of children rather than for the convenience of adults.
*learning- for adults and for children- is a messy process and that messiness should be celebrated and embraced as a part of the growth process.

Antioch University provides learner-centered education to empower students with the knowledge and skills to lead meaningful lives and to advance social, economic, and environmental justice. We aspire to be a leading university offering learners and communities transformative education in a global context that fosters innovation and inspires social action. Antioch University New England provides transformative education through scholarship, innovation, and community action for a just and sustainable society. We are committed to innovative academic excellence, integrating practice with theory in a collaborative learning environment that is attentive to multiple learning styles.

Antioch University New England believes in ecological stewardship and social justice, cultivating local as well as global perspectives to educate students with diverse backgrounds and opinions to become leaders of change.

Antioch University New England values community engagement: using place-based practices to foster scholarship, activism
