By Donna Yve, Founder of GemRise Learning
GemRise Learning is an identity-based framework for teaching and learning designed especially for diverse, high-energy learners in Pre-K through 8th grade.
At its heart, GemRise Learning is:
-
Student-centered – decisions start with the child, not the curriculum map.
-
Identity-based – honors how each child is wired to think, move, and relate.
-
Supportive of diverse learners – including students with different cultures, abilities, languages, and attention needs.
-
Mastery-focused – students move forward when they truly understand, not just when the calendar says so.
-
Differentiation-friendly – built for small groups, centers, and flexible pathways.
-
Grounded in behavior & energy management – especially for active, “Orange” / high-energy students.
