Real Conversations. Real Change in Education.

Your institution doesn’t succeed or fail in the strategic plan. It succeeds or fails one conversation at a time, with staff, with families, with the students you’re all there for. Fierce gives your education leaders a real, repeatable way to have the conversations they’ve been avoiding, before the silence costs you something.

K-12 Budget

Runs through Title II-A, the federal government’s primary PD funding source. Districts already budget for this kind of professional learning, so it’s rarely a new line item to justify. Fierce fits inside the funding you’re already planning to spend.

Higher Ed Budget

Runs through your institution’s own PD budget, sometimes with grant funding. Departments and divisions can bring Fierce in on their own timeline, without waiting on a campus-wide initiative. It scales from a single department to a full division as your needs grow.

Ways to Learn

Instructor-led
2 hours, in-person or virtual

Best when you’re rolling out to a full staff or department at once, and want everyone in the room together.

Blended
1 hour on-demand +
1-hour live session

Best when your team needs the flexibility to learn on their own time, then bring questions to a live conversation.

On-demand

1 hour, self-paced

Best for testing Fierce with a single team or leader before deciding how far to take it.
