"Louise and Ashley Cadwell have stellar track records for innovation in education. Not only have they and their colleagues transformed their own schools into models of inspired and creative practice, but they have also worked effectively with thousands of educators, public and independent from around the country, to share their expertise.
It is exciting and timely that they are now focusing their energy on the critical field of sustainability education."
Pat Bassett, President
National Association of Independent Schools
Louise will present at the Sustainable Schools Project Education for Sustainability Institute at Shelburne Farms, August 3-5, 2010. Formal and non-formal educators across the country are using the idea of sustainability to connect students' learning experiences across grades and disciplines, while preparing them to meet the challenges and opportunities of the 21st Century. Join fellow preK-12 educators to build strategies and skills for using sustainability as a theme to connect curriculum, campus practices, and community engagement.

The 21st century demands that students develop new skills, and that schools build on and integrate the traditional disciplines in new and exciting ways. Learners today need to:
- see and appreciate multiple perspectives
- think systemically
- collaborate skillfully
- develop ecological, technological and visual literacy
- design and implement authentic, real-world projects
Cadwell Collaborative works in schools to:
- create and adapt curricula to develop 21st century skills
- coach faculty to work together on integrated curricula
- cultivate conditions for students to publish excellent work
- design school renovations and new buildings to advance 21st century curricula
Cadwell Collaborative is a pioneer consulting group that provides school leaders and teacher leaders with the tools, ideas, and skills for curricular innovation in pre-K through grade 12 education. We offer resources, workshops, and consulting services in support of systemic change.
We are partners in a national network of innovative schools, educators and community organizations working to learn together toward a sustainable future through The Society for Organizational Learning Education Partnership.
Cadwell Collaborative leadership in schools is founded on the work of creative schools with highly successful results. One example is the schools for young children in Reggio Emilia, Italy that are internationally recognized as one of the best school systems in the world.
From this foundation and others, we have worked to realize exemplary organizations at The Green Mountain Valley School, The St. Michael School, The College School, and, through The St. Louis-Reggio Collaborative, with many others over the last 30 years.
