An Inside Out Model for Growth
As educators, you see the patterns: a new initiative launched every year, behavior programs that feel more like band-aids than solutions, and endless efforts to encourage positive change that don't seem to stick. These approaches often aim at external behaviors, hoping change will follow.
But what if the key to lasting growth isn’t about what students do but who they are becoming—and who we are as educators?
At The Core Project, we believe:
“Who we are is more important than what we do because what we do will always be an extension of who we are.” – Greg Sommers
This Inside-Out philosophy recognizes that real transformation doesn’t come from surface-level fixes but from fostering curiosity, courage, and intentional strategy—both in ourselves and in our students.
