Rebecca S. Murry, Mathematics, STEM, Learning Space Design
Rebecca, with over 15 years as an educator and 20 years in architecture, is passionate about systems structures built upon CGC’s five learning principles of self-regulation, common school culture, a shared language, contextual learning, and collaborative spaces. Her research proves that adaptive learning works for all dispositions and various demographics. Currently the STEM Integrator at the United Nations International School where she served as Math Coach, Rebecca has presented Math/STEM workshops internationally in Brazil, USA, Spain, Austria, Denmark, and webinars on Blended Learning Environments using Adaptive Technology.
The CGC was born at the International School of Brussels. There, with the full support of a far-sighted Board, Kevin Bartlett, then the ISB Director, and Gordon Eldridge, still the Director of Curriculum, collaborated with other teachers and leaders to create a systemic approach to all aspects of learning, teaching, assessing, leading and community building. With the departure of Kevin from his role at ISB, the Board signed the intellectual property for the CGC over to its founders who registered the Collaborative in Brussels as a non-profit company.
The Common Ground Collaborative (CGC) is a non-profit, global community of sense-makers, innovators, educators and partners who share a common goal. We’ve had it with decades of disconnected curriculum, disconnected schools and disconnected conversations, so we are co-creating smart, systemic, sustainable solutions.
