Wright to Learn offers classes, staff training, and consulting focused on bringing equity into digital learning, and learning into digital equity.

Our Design Principles

Equity.

We believe in learning as a force for liberation. We recognize the ways in which systems and institutions serve some while harming others, and we commit to actively countering those dynamics wherever possible.

Experience.

We believe that each learner is the expert in their own lived experiences and learning needs. We design for learners to gain hands-on authentic practice, to safely explore and make mistakes that push them forward.

Storytelling.

We believe in the power of narrative, both individual and collective. We empower learners to tell new stories about themselves and their abilities, and to construct meaning collaboratively with others.

Community.

We believe that every individual is part of a larger whole. We call in learners to recognize themselves and their peers as sources of shared knowledge, to actively support one another in their collective effort.
