“Larry Ainsworth’s work with our educators was transformative. His guidance helped us move from good intentions to an integrated system that actually aligned our instructional design, assessments, and learning targets across all subject areas. Beyond his expertise, Larry is a genuinely caring person who wants nothing more than to help teachers help students. The clarity he brought to our team changed the way we teach and think about learning.”
