"From the supportive staff to the thorough, thoughtful curriculum, AmazeWorks has been an invaluable partner in our aim to create brave learning spaces where all scholars are valued and celebrated."

AmazeWorks has been a critical part of Perpich Arts High School’s professional development for years, supporting not only our teaching practices but also our focus on creating an inclusive, critically engaged learning community. AmazeWorks provides student-delivered materials as well as professional development for our staff, emphasizing the importance of inclusion and belonging. Their workshops have helped us foster community and connection for both our students and staff. This work has been and will continue to be a critical part of the community education we provide.

AmazeWorks curriculum has empowered both children and educators to not only understand but also embrace the richness of different cultures, identities, family structures, and abilities. Children are now learning to celebrate each other’s backgrounds and differences with curiosity and respect, while also understanding that love and family can look many different ways. AmazeWorks has truly helped foster a safe and inclusive space where every child feels valued, respected, and seen for who they are.

Our lower school scholars thrived seeing themselves in the rich, authentic texts, which helped teachers frame deeper discussions. We’ve reserved time in the daily schedule for AmazeWorks lessons, adopted the middle school curriculum, and collaborated with the AmazeWorks team to provide more extensive staff development on topics such as identity, individuality, and culturally-affirming practices. We cannot recommend it highly enough!

"Partnering with AmazeWorks helped us take practical, real world steps to increase belonging in our organization."

The impact of our time together in these trainings lasts far beyond the week or month they were delivered. Our team calls back to the concepts that were introduced, like the Six Conditions of Belonging and Intercultural Conflict Styles, in both internal conversations and discussions with clients. We’ve even co-created new community agreements and feedback agreements that are grounded in what we learned together with AmazeWorks.

Rebecca has a unique ability to put people at ease when discussing difficult topics while still challenging us to embrace the discomfort required for growth. She adapts her presentations to fit our group, even in the moment, and has earned the trust of our staff for her engaging style, candor, and flexibility.
Kim HortonThe Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library
We are incredibly grateful for our partnership with AmazeWorks. They helped us think deeply about what belonging really means to our organization. They are helping meet our goal of being the kind of workplace where employees feel connected and want to work here for the long haul.

AmazeWorks has been an ideal partner in helping us understand how to make our workplace more welcoming to people from all walks of life. We still have more work to do, but AmazeWorks has been extremely helpful in creating conditions that foster belonging.
Chris SalterMSS
One specific example of the impact is the yearlong project we launched with AmazeWorks to operationalize DEIB within our organization. This initiative has helped us become a greater champion for equity through actions to ensure that all individuals have a sense of belonging at PRI. The dedication and professionalism of AmazeWorks have been instrumental in driving positive change.

Community

Lee Wind

Chief Content Officer

"Books are empathy machines, and discussing the characters and the ideas they hold are a big part of unlocking that magic. We couldn't have asked for a better partner than AmazeWorks."

Rachel Zugschwert

EVP, Marketing

"AmazeWorks’ research-backed teaching materials bring additional depth and context to the stories and experiences our authors and illustrators create."

Madeline "Desi" Kobayashi

Director

"From the variety of meaningful and intentional professional development workshops, to the diverse and dynamic curricular resources, we are grateful to learn from and be inspired by the mighty AmazeWorks team."

“Books are empathy machines, and discussing the characters and the ideas they hold are a big part of unlocking that magic. We couldn't have asked for a better partner than Amazeworks to create discussion guides for the twenty books in our We Are Stronger Than Censorship 2024-2025 program. They're all titles from independent publishers that have been impacted by the chilling effect of book bans, on so many important topics. It's a collection that celebrates diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, and the discussion guides have been so thoughtful and well-done.
Lee WindIBPA & We Are Stronger Than Censorship
