By Design Learning Co.

By Design Learning Co. is a collaborative and informative space for teachers, school leaders and parents.

Established by Damien Barry, a career educator, who has written, designed and curated a collection of resources, books, programs, and activities to support those who teach children of all ages, those who lead school communities, and those who are raising and educating boys.

By Design Learning Co. can assist teachers, school leaders and parents to navigate the challenges and complexities of leading school communities, leading and developing staff, creating safe and vibrant classroom environments, building exciting and relevant learning tasks, and growing our boys into caring, kind men.

If this appeals to you, then contact us to:

  • Work together to build stronger teachers, leaders, schools, and learning communities
  • Co-create programs that build young men of character, resilience, and empathy
  • Co-design curricula that support our educators to bring learning to life

We can do this together because we believe that:

  • The craft of teaching is something that can be taught, learnt, and built.
  • The traits of leadership can be acquired, grown, and developed
  • Building boys to be good men is our communal responsibility

Programs

By Design Learning Co. has three key programs

Teaching by Design
Leadership by Design
Masculinity by Design
Each program can be tailored to cater to the specific needs of a teacher, a team of educators, a school community, a leadership group or parents.
