01 — The Key of Connection

The Key of Connection

Connection begins with the Self, grows into community, and reaches out to the earth and all its people. When learning honors that journey, we all win.

We are a budding business and coalescing community interested in conscious evolution and transformative change through educational pathways — empowering students, parents, teachers and organizations to become change agents within their communities.

Testimonial

Jill is an inspiration to young and old alike. She taught my sons at Montessori Day School and inspired them with Cosmic Education and Montessori values. Her high regard for the spirit of the child within gave them a lifelong love of learning. She created a strong sense of community among students, parents, and teachers. Jill inspires me with her intuitive, intelligent ideas and philosophies for education and society in general. Jill's belief in the power that Transformational Education can hold is particularly intriguing and timely.

Questions, answered

What is Transformed Education?

Transformed Education is a holistic education start-up founded in 2021 in Chandler, Arizona by Jill Dianne Bittinger. We empower whole-child and whole-educator thinking through individual and group coaching, resources and a growing community of inspired educational practitioners.

Who do you work with?

We work with PreK–12 teachers and school leaders, Montessori guides, parents and caregivers, homeschooling families and organizations who want learning to honor body, mind and spirit.

Do you offer coaching online?

Yes. Individual and group coaching sessions are held by video meeting, so educators and families can join from anywhere. Contact us to talk about options in the Chandler, Arizona area.

What does whole-child education mean?

Whole-child education nurtures every part of a learner — physical, emotional, social, intellectual and spiritual. It recognizes that joy, connection and a sense of purpose are what make lasting academic growth possible.

Can Montessori ideas work in a public school classroom?

Absolutely. You do not need to convert to the entire Montessori system to benefit. Practices such as the Peace Table, hands-on materials, freedom of movement and Cosmic Education can be introduced step by step in any classroom.
