About TeachThought

TeachThought is dedicated to empowering educators with practical, evidence-based strategies and resources to create more effective and engaging learning experiences.

Since 2012, we have been working to rethink teaching and learning in ways that promote critical thinking, literacy, and innovation. Our focus is on providing K-12 and post-secondary educators – including teachers, administrators, and researchers – with actionable tools and ideas to enrich their practice and improve student outcomes.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to support educators in designing learning experiences that make a real difference – lessons and strategies that inspire deeper learning, critical thought, and meaningful action.

By developing adaptable learning models, teaching strategies, and resources rooted in research-based methodologies, we aim to simplify the complex and help educators focus on what matters most: their students’ success.

Is TeachThought Reliable?

We believe educators should critically evaluate any resource or strategy before adopting it – including ours. Here’s why we believe TeachThought is a reliable partner for your teaching journey:

Evidence-Based Foundation

Our strategies, frameworks, and resources are built on peer-reviewed research and established best practices in education. We regularly update content to reflect new findings and emerging trends.

Transparent Development

We clearly distinguish between well-established, research-backed practices and new, innovative approaches. All our materials include clear implementation examples, intended outcomes, and adaptation suggestions.

Classroom-Tested Strategies

Many of our strategies and frameworks have been tested and refined in real classrooms. Educators report their results back to us, helping us further improve and verify our materials’ effectiveness.

An educator would ideally:

Review our referenced sources and cited research.
Pilot strategies in small contexts before testing in a broader setting–more students, bigger classroom, etc.
Combine our materials with your own expertise and student ability level

We welcome feedback and encourage educators to share their experiences as part of the TeachThought community.
