Meet Jane
Dr. Jane R. Shore
Founder and Author
Dr. Jane R. Shore is the Founder of School of Thought and author of the forthcoming book, People-Based Learning (2026). She helps educators, leaders, and teams put people and purpose at the center of learning, creating, and collaborating.
A former Research Scientist and co-founder of progressive high school called Revolution, Jane blends research, stories, and hands-on practice to design experiences that are meaningful, measurable, and human.
On her blog, School of Thought, she shares insights, visuals, and tools for rethinking how we learn in schools, work, and life. Jane also draws, tinkers, and lives in Philadelphia with her husband, her youngest son (her oldest is in college!), and their two chill cats.
“PBL stands for many things in education. Project-Based, Place-Based, and Problem-Based learning. School of Thought has added a new P, People-Based Learning. Our work is with, not for, our community.””
Anchor Partners
School of Thought is continuously co-created by innovative educators, involved young people, interdisciplinary researchers, and investors in the future. We have developed a leading-edge model of cross-sector leadership and learnership for sustainable equitable change.
