Work
Our Approach
The Highlander Institute focuses on creating student-centered, personalized learning environments and improving teaching and learning on a national scale.
We do this by implementing a multi-faceted approach that includes the development and delivery of services, programs, resources, and events designed to support classroom, school, and district-level change.
