Our Vision
By 2035, we will ignite a global movement, transforming education by cultivating 10 million curiosity-driven classrooms and learning environments worldwide.
Our Mission
We will revolutionize education through interdisciplinary learning experiences that encourage inquiry, ingenuity and agency, providing learners and educators with measurable personal success.
Who We Are
ConvergeEd was founded to transform how learning happens.
We bring the Total Experience Learning® (TExpL®) instructional framework to classrooms and learning environments around the world empowering educators and administrators with a practical, proven approach to designing and managing engaging, active, and experiential learning.
Unlike traditional instructional frameworks that focus on curriculum alone, TExpL works across any subject, grade level, or learning environment, giving educators the tools to adapt, lead, and succeed in today’s increasingly complex classrooms.
Schools and districts implementing TExpL consistently report measurable improvements in:
- Student engagement
- Instructional effectiveness
- Educator satisfaction and retention
An Instructional Framework Built by Educators Now Scaling Nationwide
In 2024, ConvergeEd partnered with Alvernia University to launch The TExpL Institute at Alvernia, delivering accredited training programs to educators across Eastern and Central Pennsylvania.
The results have been immediate and compelling:
- Strong program growth across participating districts
- High satisfaction from both educators and administrators
- Near-universal expansion by districts following initial cohorts
This momentum reflects what makes TExpL different it works within real classrooms, not theoretical ones.
Today, ConvergeEd is expanding nationally through partnerships with universities, school districts, and organizations, making TExpL accessible to educators everywhere.
Our Leadership
Founder, CEO, ConvergeEd
Founder Total Experience Learning Institute at Alvernia University
Adelle L. Schade, Ph.D.
Before founding ConvergeEd, Adelle spent 25 years as a public-school educator as a high school science teacher at the Conrad Weiser School District, Robesonia, Pennsylvania.
During that time, she traveled regularly to Philadelphia, earning a master’s and doctoral degree and observing education in urban environments and in high-powered research laboratories. Adelle built that learning environment as the Science Research Institute (SRI) at Conrad Weiser and founded ConvergeEd LLC to hold the intellectual property.
In 2020, she moved into the collegiate environment, to expand this educational opportunity beyond the educators and students in one school district. Based on the experiences with SRI, she developed and trademarked the learning and instructional framework, Total Experience Learning.
She has spent the past seven years bringing this methodology to classrooms in Pennsylvania and across the country through ConvergeEd.
