About Us
Maureen Chapman and James Simons are the co-founders of Cor Creative Partners, a small, MA-based professional learning company committed to a culture in which everyone loves school. We are longtime, local educators and we draw on our deep expertise in student engagement and leadership development to create customized PD that’s authentic, engaging, inspiring, relatable, and ready to implement. To date we have delivered over 100 workshops, 800 instructional coaching rounds, and 250 leadership coaching rounds since the start of 2024. We also recently published our Solution Tree book, Leaders of the Class: Units for Teaching Motivation, Perseverance, Communication, and Collaboration in the Secondary Classroom.
“Cor is so mindful in their intentions to bring equitable learning to life at schools. They are experts in curriculum work and will always be my go-to for all things curriculum planning.”
“For those who are overwhelmed or don’t know where to begin, this workshop gave participants a practical (and doable) entry point.”
“[Maureen and James] were awesome. Not just their techniques and ideas but their fun relationship with each other and the kind genuine way they helped us as educators trying to stay sane.”
