nowlings
n. the total set of human beings alive at any given time, a group that nudges slightly forward whenever a new baby is born or the world’s oldest person dies, and turns over completely every hundred years or so; a random assemblage of billions of contemporaries who you feel an odd sense of connection to, because whatever problems we might face right now, we’re all facing them simultaneously.
From now, the present moment + -lings, inhabitants of

You're not the only one lying awake at night.
Nowlings brings together education's deep thinkers—not because we have all the answers, but because we share the questions that define this moment. As Nowlings, we're bound by today's unprecedented challenges: vanishing federal support, school closures, AI transformation, and the rapid evolution of what school even means. Yet we're also bound by something else: the profound joy of shaping minds, the sacred trust of teaching, and the knowledge that even in chaos, education remains humanity's most hopeful act.
Your Development, Your Way
You've politely sat through sessions on basics when you're facing advanced challenges. Discovered that what made you successful yesterday won't work for today's demands. Waited for districts to address what actually matters to you.
Here, you design your own development:
-
Individual coaching when you need dedicated space for deep work
-
Group coaching when witnessing others' journeys accelerates your own
-
The Collective at $47/month (founders pay $27)—for ongoing support through weekly circles, workshops, and peer connection
No prescribed pathways. No one-size-fits-all solutions. You choose what serves your growth right now—and change it when your needs shift. Many combine approaches, discovering that personal transformation and community learning amplify each other.
We're a nonprofit because your growth shouldn't depend on district budgets. We're practitioners who believe educators know best what they need—they just rarely get to choose.

Isolation is Optional. Your next chapter starts here.
You became an educator to make a difference, but the job can feel overwhelming—we help you transform how you navigate the complexity. Our coaching develops the inner capacities that matter most: staying centered under pressure, reframing resistance as valuable information, and making clear decisions when there's no perfect answer. Whether through individual, partner, or small group coaching, we create the precise conditions for your growth. This isn't about managing problems better—it's about becoming the leader who transforms challenges into opportunities and builds teams that thrive through change.
Workshops
Transform how you lead through experience, not theory. Develop the sophisticated skills to become an HQIM implementation specialist. Build interactive data dashboards that drive decisions, not just display numbers. Bring your most pressing challenge and leave with solutions you can implement tomorrow. Our workshops transform how you lead through hands-on practice and peer connection, helping you turn resistance into engagement and overwhelming challenges into clear next steps. This is professional development that actually develops you as a human being.
When instructional coaches get laid off and support disappears, the expertise doesn't vanish—it reorganizes. Our circles bring together displaced specialists, overwhelmed leaders, and ambitious educators ready to impact more than just their own classroom or building.
Former coaches training current principals. Teachers pooling resources for PD districts can't afford. Building-level experts scaling their solutions nationally. Crisis moments getting flash teams instead of abandonment. This is post-institutional support: lighter, faster, stronger.
From budget cuts to breakthrough. From local impact to systemic change. Together, Today.
