I designed this transmedia world for teachers in professional development to foster a growth mindset in their classrooms. My role involved concept development, content creation, and integrating storytelling fundamentals.
The challenge was to create an engaging training experience that equips teachers with practical tools for fostering a growth mindset. In the interactive, scenario-based training, participants assume the role of a new teacher at the fictional Grow Together Academy, where growth is a core value. Through branching scenarios, teachers practice and test growth mindset strategies, learning how to apply them effectively for both themselves and their students.

This project showed how instructional storytelling, combined with the right tools, can create immersive and impactful learning experiences. Using Articulate Storyline, I built interactive scenarios that allowed teachers to apply growth mindset strategies in realistic situations. The storytelling approach made the content relatable, while Storyline’s branching scenarios kept learners engaged with personalized learning paths.
