We began Wave Learning Solutions out of the conviction that traditional models of education are no longer able to provide students with the skills and abilities they need to be successful in the future. We believe that the transformation of classroom instructional and assessment practices according to 21st century learning principles is imperative and possible. And we believe this transformation will be driven by teachers in classrooms at all levels of our education system. 

To this end, our goal is to create professional learning resources that are as rich, meaningful and engaging for educators as the experiences we advocate educators create for their students! We hope too, that our educational and publishing experience, combined with the independence of self-publishing, will allow us to deliver brave, thought-provoking and inspiring professional learning resources that help teachers help students.

We believe strongly that inquiry-based learning is at the root of successful classrooms across jurisdictions, disciplines and grades, so this is the instructional focus of our new THINQ professional learning series. The online course VOCAL 101 highlights the very best assessment practices required in inquiry-based classrooms, and indeed, in all classrooms regardless of teaching methodology. VOCAL - written by assessment expert Damian Cooper - provides real, in-class video examples of how to validate observations and conversations when assessing learning. We hope that both of these resource series help you with your ongoing learning journey.
