This season, the Great Teacher Alliance invites you to step into The Arc of Becoming. This is —a 10-episode cycle designed to help you evolve as both an educator and a human. Each month, we’ll explore a new theme—BEYOND, IMAGINE, PIVOT, FLOW, FOG, GLITCH, FRICTION, LAYER, PAUSE, and EMBER—through dynamic conversations, creative challenges, and authentic connection.
✨ Join the movement. Follow the arc. Become who you’re meant to be.

Silverquicken Episodes for Enrichment and Diagnosis (SEED) helps you recognize and develop talent you might have otherwise missed in 3rd–8th graders. With over 50 compelling activities spread over 17 episodes, you will reach learners who are in need of acceleration and support across Convergent, Divergent, Cooperative, and Reflective thinking AND feeling skills.
SEED invites learners into the secret, exciting dream world of Silverquicken through short, immersive adventure stories. Each episode engages learners in playful (and rigorous!) puzzles, strategic games, and collaborative challenges, offering opportunities to reflect on both the cognitive and affective sides of the experience. Teachers can gauge learners’ interests and skills to provide extensions that promote even further growth in targeted areas.
These ready-to-implement activities take just 20–30 minutes and are the perfect complement to any curriculum. The multi-disciplinary approach ensures that learners build problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork skills across all content areas.
Plant the SEED, spark the adventure, and watch brilliance grow.
