"Bring planning and doing closer together... Emergent planning is where plans and actions emerge from experience and are adapting all the time... It is concentrated on improving teaching practice because it is known that this is what the the biggest impact on student learning" - Short timelines, responsive, collaborative, team oriented, goal setting, observation, experimentation, assessing and reviewing, involving teachers.
Phillip Evans is a creative catalyst and founder of Education by Design Collective, a multimedia platform (podcast, blog, and an upcoming documentary series) that spotlights bold ideas for re-engineering how we learn and lead. Equal parts storyteller and strategist, he curates conversations with front-line educators, researchers, and innovators, then turns those insights into actionable tools schools can use tomorrow.
A serial intrapreneur turned entrepreneur, Phillip has launched global initiatives that blend design thinking, appreciative inquiry, and agile product development—building multilingual resource ecosystems, low-budget livestream solutions, and data-driven coaching programs that scale from a single classroom to entire school networks. His sweet spot is the messy middle where vision meets execution: mapping the system, finding the leverage points, and prototyping fast.
Phil is the host of the Education by Design podcast.
