Nathan’s drive to transform education comes through his belief that all people deserve to learn in an environment that adapts to their unique gifts and needs. As an innovative teacher of ten years, Nathan found that schools that truly support all learners are built on a foundation of deep relationships, designed for a learner-centered paradigm. Furthermore, he discovered the interdependence of time, space, and roles; and how they must be aligned to achieve the 21st-century goals that most schools aspire to. For students to become engaged citizens, curious learners, critical thinkers, complex problem solvers, empathetic listeners…an integrated ecosystem needs to be purposely designed with students, parents, and teachers as authentic collaborators.

Since Nathan has joined Fielding International as a Senior Learning Designer, he has invested in network building to be at the forefront of education innovation through human-centered design. Nathan serves as USA Country Lead at HundrED and is an active member of Education Reimagine’s Learning Lab. In spring 2020, he leveraged this network to lead a global COVID response series called From Gathering to Transformation with 1,000+ participants from all across the globe.
