Why Huddle Up?

The "Why Huddle Up?" question is closely tied to "Why did we build Huddle Up?". And, it's a great place to start.

In short, we're tired of online learning models that consist of boring videos with an occasional quiz.That's outdated learning. It's not relevant or engaging. 

And, it's doing a disservice to any individual who has had to endure it... and the companies and schools that expect (and need) so much more. 



Unlike that model of learning, we created Huddle Up because we believe the best learning comes when

1. Learners are involved in trying to create and share solutions, not memorize facts

2. Learners actively give feedback to one another, to improve each user's solution.

3. Real learning is not demonstrated by what you know. It is demonstrated by what you can do with what you know - and how your application of knowledge is judged by others.


As educators ourselves, we sought to create a very different kind of learning platform that was set up to meet those needs.  In fact, it's so different, it's patented. Have a look and see what makes us so unique.



That's why we created Huddle Up.  

That's why we are driven by our mission: To transform online learning for individuals and organizations through a more purposeful, interactive experience.

That's why we like to say: When organizations want to engage individuals in finding solutions to an existing problem while leveraging the power or interactive feedback, they should Huddle Up.

We look forward to learning what we can build, together.

Implementing a Strategic Plan: The Challenges and How Huddle Up Makes It Easier

Once an organization has developed a strategic plan, the next hurdle is to make it actionable. However, even well-thought-out plans often face significant obstacles during implementation. Plans tend to “gather dust,” remaining largely invisible to the wider organization and failing to adapt when conditions change. Huddle Up aims to solve that problem with a new way to make strategic plans dynamic, transparent experiences where evidence and feedback build shared accountability from all constituents.  See how Huddle Up changes strategic planning   In our  previous post , we explored the challenges organizations face when developing a strategic plan. While the development phase presents hurdles in goal setting, stakeholder engagement, and planning efficiency, the real test begins when it’s time to put that plan into action. Even the best-crafted strategic plans can fall flat during the implementation phase, leading to poor execution, missed deadlines, and disengaged teams. H...

Elevating Professional Learning: Dr. Molly Myers leads her faculty with an innovative twist on Professional Learning Communities (PLCs)

  At Huddle Up Learning, we believe in the power of collaboration to enhance educational practices. One exemplary leader in this movement is Dr. Molly Myers, the Lower School Principal at Shanghai Community International School (SCIS), who has transformed the professional development landscape at her school. Watch the full podcast here (39:33) The Journey Begins: A Year of Growth 2023-24 "I want an organization that learns autonomously, period." Two years ago, Dr. Molly Myers initiated a structured approach to Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) within her faculty. To start the 2023-24 school year, different teams of faculty members chose their own PLC topics, focusing on improved instruction and identifying effective ways to measure student learning. Dr. Myers structured specific time set aside in the yearly calendar for teams to meet within their PLCs and share updates and feedback on the strategies they were implementing as well as the process itself.   The culminatio...

What Happens After the Workshop?

We’ve all been there: you leave a professional development workshop energized, inspired, and ready to make changes. But a few weeks later? That energy fades, and little has shifted. Why does so much of our well-intentioned, meaningful, and well-delivered professional learning often fail to make an impact? That’s exactly the issue Thomas Guskey pointed to in a recent article: despite good intentions, the outcomes of many professional learning efforts fall flat. He describes it as a puzzling mismatch between what schools invest and what actually changes in practice. Here’s the link to his article: https://kappanonline.org/explaining-the-puzzling-results-in-professional-learning-research/ A Puzzle With a Solution But maybe it’s not so puzzling after all. Most schools devote a huge majority of their time and money to the inputs of professional learning, deciding what conferences to attend, what speakers to bring in, or which online course to take. These decisions feel productive. They g...
