Equity nudges are small, intentional design choices that help level the playing field without students even realizing it's happening. Instead of massive overhauls or treating equity as something extra to squeeze into an already packed day, equity nudges are strategic tweaks - a rephrased question here, a culturally relevant example there - that make inclusion part of how learning naturally unfolds in your classroom.
​
The magic happens when you combine three elements: the science of learning (what brain research tells us actually works), the art of teaching (that gut instinct and wisdom you've developed over time), and organizational DNA (the systems, structures, and culture that either enable or block equity at every level). Learning science shows us that belonging literally changes how brains process information - students who feel they belong can access higher-order thinking, while those who don't get stuck in survival mode. Your organizational DNA determines whether equity nudges can take root - things like how time is structured, what gets celebrated, how resources are allocated, and which voices shape decisions. But the artistry of teaching is what brings it all together - knowing when to lean in, when to step back, and how to make those small moments land within your school's unique culture.
​
Equity nudges aren't about fixing students - they're about fixing systems. They recognize that students from under-resourced backgrounds often carry invisible burdens like stereotype threat or the cognitive load of code-switching. By embedding equity into your organizational DNA rather than treating it as a separate initiative, you create conditions where inclusive practices become automatic. When equity lives in your scheduling, your assessment design, your PLC protocols, and your hallway conversations, it stops being something you do and starts being who you are as a school.

The Science & The Art
Learn. Master. Navigate. Own.
​
The science of learning is what happens when researchers actually look inside the brain and figure out how memory works, why some teaching moves stick and others don't, and what conditions help students retain and transfer knowledge. It's not educational philosophy or somebody's pet theory - it's data from cognitive science, neuroscience, and evidence-based practice. The art of teaching is everything the science can't capture. Science tells you what works in general; art tells you what works right now, in this moment, with these humans in front of you.
Organizational DNA
Transform. Sustain. Scale. Succeed.
​
Organizational DNA is the collection of beliefs, systems, and habits that shape how your school actually operates - the invisible architecture that determines what's possible. It's what happens when no one's watching: how decisions really get made, where resources flow, which practices stick and which ones fade, and what people believe is negotiable versus sacred. You can't see it on an org chart, but you can feel it the moment you walk through the doors. And here's the thing - unless equity is coded into that DNA, it'll always be fighting against the current instead of flowing with it.
Free When It Matters Most
365 Days with the Science of Reading
Spend one year – just 10 minutes a day – and you'll understand how learning actually works in the brain and how to teach in a way that sticks. Each daily post builds on the last, taking you from "your brain has 150,000 tiny voters" to advanced concepts like orthographic mapping and cognitive load theory. But this isn't some dry academic exercise. You're getting the science, sure, but filtered through real classroom moments – the kid who suddenly "gets it," the lesson that totally flopped, the breakthrough that changed everything. By day 365, you won't just know the research; you'll see your students differently, understand why certain kids struggle, and have a toolkit that actually works. Think of it as earning your unofficial master's degree in how humans really learn, delivered one story at a time.
Our Promise to You
​
We're former teachers who still get goosebumps remembering those breakthrough moments—when a struggling reader suddenly lights up, when your whole class leans in because they're actually engaged, when you know you just changed a life.
​
We built LMNO PD because we remember what it feels like to want to change the world, one student at a time. And we know how hard it is when you're drowning in research studies you don't have time to read, strategies that sound great in theory but fall apart by third period, and resources that cost more than your monthly coffee budget.
​
Here's what we promise: We won't add another thing to your already overflowing plate. Instead, we'll help you make everything on it more manageable, more joyful, and way more effective. We take the overwhelming stuff—the research, the implementation guides, the "how do I actually do this?"—and turn it into something that feels as natural as your morning routine.​
Because here's the beautiful truth: You already have everything you need to transform lives. We just help you unlock it, one joyful nudge at a time.
Small shifts. Lasting impact.
Where every teacher thrives and every child soars.
Research is Revolutionary
We believe peer-reviewed studies shouldn't gather dust on academic shelves. We transform complex research into practical magic that works for every learner, especially those who've been waiting for their breakthrough moment.
Implementation Over Information
Teachers don't need another binder full of strategies. They need someone to show them how to actually use what they learned last summer with the kids walking through their door Monday morning. We're all about the "how," not just the "what."
Abundance,
Not Scarcity
Our best resources flow freely to every teacher who needs them. When one teacher succeeds, we all rise. Those working miracles on shoestring budgets get everything they need to soar—because great teaching shouldn't depend on a big budget.
Teachers as Literacy Architects
We see teachers for who they really are: brilliant professionals building futures. We celebrate their expertise, amplify their natural gifts, and help them unlock the extraordinary educator that's already inside them.
