What this site is
Transforming Education is an independent publication for US teachers, school counselors, school and district leaders, and people planning or advancing a career in teaching. We publish three kinds of work:
- Toolkits. Classroom-ready guides to social-emotional learning (SEL) topics such as growth mindset, self-management, self-efficacy, social awareness, mindfulness and trauma-informed practice, each with a printable PDF companion.
- Articles. Evidence-based pieces on classroom practice, SEL curriculum selection and professional development, plus statistics round-ups on student stress and teacher burnout where every figure links to its source.
- Degree and career guides. Plain-English explanations of online teaching degrees, M.Ed. programs, special education, educational leadership, school counseling and the routes into teaching, written to help readers compare programs on accreditation, licensure and cost rather than on marketing.
The history of this domain
From 2013 to 2024, transformingeducation.org belonged to Transforming Education, Inc., a Boston-based nonprofit. It was known for free SEL toolkits, for research briefs on measuring students' mindsets, essential skills and habits, and for its partnership with California's CORE Districts on including social-emotional measures in school improvement work. The organization stopped operating the site in mid-2024 and the domain lapsed; its public filings show no activity since.
Thousands of pages across universities, state education agencies, school districts and research organizations still link to the toolkit addresses on this domain. We registered the domain so that those links would once again lead to useful, carefully written resources on the same topics.
We are not Transforming Education, Inc. We are not affiliated with the former nonprofit, its staff, board, funders or partners, and we do not host its original publications. Every toolkit, article and guide on this site is original work by our editorial team. Where we refer to the former organization's framework or history, we say so explicitly and cite public sources.
How we work
- Sources first. Every statistic, study, accreditation claim and program detail on this site is checked against a primary or authoritative source before publication, and those sources are listed at the bottom of each page.
- Practical over theoretical. Toolkits are written to be used in a classroom the week you read them, with strategies organized by grade band.
- No invented authority. We do not fabricate staff biographies, impact figures, testimonials or reviews. Where we lack evidence we say so.
- Corrections. If you find an error, use the contact page and choose "Report an error". We correct substantive mistakes within five working days and note the change on the page.
How we make money
The toolkits and articles are free and will stay free. The site earns revenue when a reader requests information from a school through a link on our degree guides, buys a course through a link marked as sponsored, or when a vendor pays for a clearly labelled listing. Those relationships never decide what we write or which programs we include. Our full editorial policy explains the rules.
