Mycelium Education
Cultivating Knowledge, Inspiring Growth
Mission Statement
We use research-backed approaches that accelerate student growth.
We approach all materials with a culturally responsive lens and amplify historically marginalized, underrepresented voices.
We provide equity-centered educational services that seek to increase student agency, as an educated populace increases students’ access to political, economic, and social capital.
About Us
At Mycelium Education, we are a team of career educators driven by a passion to combat inequity and promote liberation in education. Our services are research-aligned and focused on what is best for students and their holistic development. We steadfastly reject any methodology, strategy, curriculum, or professional development that could be detrimental to students. If your values resonate with our commitment to equity and empowerment in education, we invite you to reach out to us to learn more, request a quote, or submit a proposal for collaboration.
What Sets Us Apart
We do not use AI tools in any of our services. Using AI would make our work faster, but AI usage negatively impacts the environment through excessive electricity and water use. With water scarcity and drought becoming more common, we do not want to contribute to additional water use when it’s not necessary. Additionally, AI tools were / are not created from a place of equity since they source information from culturally dominant voices. AI tools lack the intention necessary to create culturally responsive, equitable curriculum. Instead, we do things the old-fashioned way: with our brain power. After all, if we want students to develop their neural networks, we need to be using our own.
