WHAT WE BUILD
Build it. Teach you to build it. Both.
You can hire Scratch Paper to build something. You can hire Scratch Paper to teach your team how to build it. Or you can hire Scratch Paper to do both.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Learn How to Solve for X.
Scratch Paper professional development is built around doing. Bring us your standards, curriculum, initiative, idea, or problem. We'll help your team learn, design, build, and leave with something they can actually use.
This is not sit-and-get professional development.
01
PBL That Doesn’t Suck
Project-based learning should be more than a poster at the end of a unit. Learn how to turn standards, content, real-world problems, and student interests into authentic projects students actually want to do.
02
From Standards to Experiences
Start with what students have to learn. Build something they’ll remember. Participants learn how to move from standards and learning objectives to engaging, hands-on experiences without sacrificing academic rigor.
03
Bring the Real World Into the Classroom
Move beyond guest speakers and field trips. Learn how to build employers, nonprofits, community organizations, experts, real-world problems, and authentic audiences into student learning.
04
Career-Connected Learning by Design
Career exploration should not live only at Career Day. Learn how to intentionally integrate career awareness, employability skills, industry connections, and authentic workplace experiences into curriculum and programs.
05
Entrepreneurship Across the Curriculum
Entrepreneurship is a vehicle for learning—not just a business class. Use entrepreneurship to teach problem solving, creativity, communication, financial literacy, collaboration, marketing, and academic content.
06
Designing for the X
Use Scratch Paper’s THINK → PLAN → EXECUTE process to solve an actual educational or organizational challenge. Participants identify the real problem, examine available assets, make connections, design a solution, and develop a plan to put it into action.
07
From Idea to Implementation
Designed for administrators, program leaders, nonprofits, and organizations that already have an idea but need help making it work. Turn a concept, grant commitment, strategic priority, or big idea into an executable program.
08
Custom Professional Development
Have a different X? Scratch Paper can build customized professional development around an organization’s specific challenge, initiative, team, community, or desired outcome.
