THE LEARN DIFFERENT STORY

Grounded in Research.
Driven by Learning.

Learn Different brings research and educational practice together to help educators, families, and communities create meaningful learning opportunities for every student.

WHO WE ARE

Our Story.

Founded by Dr. Todd Cunningham in 2015, Learn Different empowers educators by bringing research into practice, developing and delivering evidence-based instructional methods for educators.

As advocates for the science of learning, Learn Different's team of developmental researchers, learning specialists, teachers, psychologists, psycho-educators, and content experts works to ensure that every student has the opportunity to learn.

Learn Different develops and delivers resources and teacher training, both in person and virtually, across North America. We consult and collaborate with schools, communities, educational organizations, and government agencies to strengthen the skills and effectiveness of local educators.

WHAT GUIDES OUR WORK

Our Mission.

At Learn Different, we believe that all children possess the ability to learn when talented educators apply the science of learning to curriculum, classroom experiences, and instructional practice.

Our multidisciplinary team of developmental researchers, learning specialists, teachers, psychologists, psycho-educators, and content experts collaborates with schools, communities, educational organizations, and government agencies to strengthen the knowledge and skills of local educators.

By supporting and developing local talent, we help communities build the capacity to independently deliver diverse educational resources and supports that meet the needs of their students.
