Amplify is reimagining the way teachers teach and students learn. We believe high-quality instructional materials and technology can empower classroom teachers to offer more personalized instruction and accelerate the potential of individual students to become more active, engaged learners.
Our goal is to make education, and thereby the world, more equitable. We create education products that celebrate differences in life and thought as well as ideals we may hold in common. We help teachers craft rigorous learning experiences that reflect the diverse histories, cultures, and identities their students bring to the classroom. We also help teachers support their students in constructing, questioning, expanding, and strengthening knowledge of where they come from and who they are becoming. To do this, we hire and develop people with the broadest range of talents, life stories and experiences, and together we build a diverse and inclusive culture. If this resonates with you, we invite you to come and work with us!
