Zoom into the Economy: Caring for People and Planet

Switzerland

I like to explore how we can drive systemic change and support people to act as local catalysts. My work often explores cutting edge topics and their intersection in the education space.  • I help organizations engage educators and youth in critical topics like futures literacy, green skills, regenerative economics, and civic engagement.    • I work with schools and organizations to make bold new ideas tangible and spark pathways to action • I design experiences and learning opportunities that facilitate the implementation of new ideas.  Bio: Michelle is an educational consultant that helps schools and organizations unlock opportunities to activate changemakers and drive meaningful change. After teaching social studies in both the U.S. and Switzerland, she founded the Educators’ Lab, which infuses startup strategies into professional learning so that teachers are empowered to bring changemaking, social innovation, and SDGs into their work. Michelle is the co-author of The Startup Teacher Playbook, and Preventing Polarization (2023). She has worked with organizations like Center for Curriculum Redesign, PBS Education, and Ashoka, and occasionally blogs for Edutopia. A graduate of IE University in Madrid, she is a part of the Global Shaper Community of the World Economic Forum and has presented at numerous events, including SXSWedu and TEDxLausanne.
