Learning & Curriculum Development
We believe that strong learning experiences can change the way we show up in other countries—and lead to more thoughtful, more effective, and more lasting outcomes.
A strong curriculum can change someone’s life. We’ve seen it happen.
What We Actually Do
At the core of every program or training is what we call the spine: your curriculum.
Curriculum development is more than organizing content—it’s part of a whole learning system designed to create meaningful behavior change. We work with your Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and your data to identify where learners are getting stuck, what skills are missing, and what outcomes truly matter.
From there, we design the learning experience:
- The outcomes your learners are working toward
- The activities that help them get there
- The structure and flow that makes it all stick
This approach eliminates blind spots, reduces doubt, and prevents the scope creep that often pulls programs off track. The result is a learning experience that is:
- Learner-centered
- Inclusive
- Strategic
- Something you feel proud to share
Why This Matters
When your curriculum is strong, your program becomes easier to deliver—and easier to talk about.
You can clearly communicate results to funders.
Your marketing becomes more grounded and specific.
Your board can confidently share your impact.
In short: your learning experience starts working for you, not against you.
What the Process Looks Like
Every project is a little different, but the foundation is the same: thoughtful collaboration, clear milestones, and intentional design.

Investment
These projects start at $9,500.
Payment plans are available, and referrals receive a small discount.
Not quite ready? No problem, we have a other options available:
- Start with a curriculum audit
- Use templates from The Learning Corner Template Shop
- Bring us in at key stages
Timeline
Project timelines vary depending on your program and capacity. But, these projects typically take a minimum of four months to complete.
A few factors that influence timing:
- Speed of feedback during revision cycles
- Number of review rounds
- Size of the project scope
- Additional materials creation (facilitator guides, workbooks, checklists, etc.)
We build timelines that are realistic—and flexible—because real work happens alongside real life.
And if your instinct is to say, “What if we cut out some of that stuff?” We’re not for you. We believe in whole system creation.
If you have a couple pieces of a puzzle, are you really able to tell people you can see the whole picture? No, right?
Same for learning and curriculum work.
When it’s time to bring in a specialist
Most organizations already have the knowledge. What’s missing is the structure to turn it into effective learning.
Without that structure, it’s easy to:
- Lose focus
- Overbuild (hello, scope creep)
- Create something that doesn’t actually stick for learners
A learning and curriculum specialist brings clarity, direction, and a proven process—so you don’t have to figure it out alone.
If you’re looking for a quick fix or one-off training, this likely isn’t the right fit and that’s OK.
This Is a Good Fit If…
✔ Your program isn’t consistent across cohorts
✔ Your team delivers content differently each time
✔ You want deeper, more sustainable impact
✔ You don’t have the bandwidth to lead this internally
You already have the knowledge. Let’s turn it into a learning experience that creates real change.

Alan Lightman, Harpswell Foundation founder
"Danielle created a survey to be taken by school principals and their administrative staff about how the grants department could better serve them. Using the information she gathered, Danielle created a user-friendly manual completely from scratch. Because of Danielle’s patience and hard work, the manual was published and distributed to every Title I campus in the (school) district. "
