Thank you for being on the journey with us as we build out this content

What do we mean by TEACH Different (not better?)

Hi! We're Annie & Ali

We are two primary educators building a roadmap to teaching that ensures children reach mastery of all required K-2 standards in an environment that also respects their developmental needs and leads them to become independent learners.

We founded EDVOLUTIONARY to share our toolbox of teacher-tested resources and strategies that create the classroom conditions to unlock student engagement, achievement well being AND make teaching more effective, fun, and sustainable.
