I'm Bill Rich, founder of Red House Learning, committed to using what we know about the brain to inform what we do in our schools. Whether I'm orchestrating a WORKshop, teaching a graduate course, or kicking off a long-term professional development effort, we begin with the brain, exploring crucial and compelling findings from the field of cognitive science that provide the "why" for the learning that lies ahead.

I work with educators and school systems committed to a long-term, systemic, and targeted approach to using the resources and expertise Red House Learning
 offers. Most recently, I have focused on the many facets of student-centered, proficiency-based learning. While we can work together to design an experience tailored to your needs, I generally consult in two ways: General Consulting / WORKshops & Presentations. 

General Consulting

  • Work with leadership teams to develop cohesive, sustained, brain-based professional development for educators and their learners.
  • Provide ongoing, embedded, and targeted multi-year pd that supports educators and their learners make the transition to student-centered, proficiency-based learning.
  • Develop the capacity of teacher leaders to increasingly support and sustain the work we begin together.

WORKshops & Presentations

  • Principles & Practices of Brain-Based Learning Design
  • Designing Student-Friendly Learning Progressions
  • The Why, What & How of Performance-Based Assessments
  • Why Mental Models Matter So Much (and What to Do about It)
  • Orchestrating Timely, Targeted Feedback
  • Proficiency-Based Grading & Reporting
  • Cultivating Growth-Minded Learning Cultures
  • Tailored Keynote Presentations
