We elevate learning by:
-
Conceptualizing and developing learning experiences via curriculum and training design (both online and face-to-face)
-
Developing quality learning design from writing personas to storyboarding to course design, development and delivery
-
Designing and delivering professional development to support k-12 teachers, college faculty, nonprofit and corporate professionals, and others in building quality learning experiences for youth and adults.
Curriculum Spotlight
​We partnered with The Service Year Alliance to design and develop the skill attainment portion of the Strengthening Service Years as a Postsecondary Option curriculum
We elevate untold narratives by:
​Offering The Untold Narratives, a free web service to support multiple storytelling methods. Everyone has a story to tell, yet not all stories are told. Our goal is to change that through the following:​
-
Narrative fellowships
-
Educational events
-
Collection of original stories
-
Writing contests
​
Listen to the founder of The Untold Narratives discuss the importance of storytelling in the Reimagining Youth work Podcast Series, published by Dr. Torie Weiston-Serdan, founder of the Critical Mentoring Institute "Owning Your Narrative"

"I love the way Dr. Santiago works and teaches. I felt comfortable enough to show up and participate fully as a person of color. Her skill at inclusivity and implicit & explicit awareness of diverse needs - really impacted me profoundly."
