Our People
We are a remote team whose paths to Rebus have been different, shaped by years in classrooms, libraries, publishing, and community organizations. We bring that experience to various aspects of our work, and it shows. Our shared values keep us grounded, our curiosity keeps us growing, and our joy in the journey keeps us going.

Our Facilitators
The people who guide participants through Rebus programs aren't strangers to the work — they've done it themselves. Our facilitators are graduates of our certificate programs who bring their own project experience, institutional knowledge, and hard-won insights to every cohort they support. They remind us that we’re not in this alone and that our individual wins compound for everyone’s benefit. We've built a Facilitator Network that includes faculty, librarians, instructional designers, administrators, and more — people who understand education from every angle and live to champion it every day.

Our Board
We couldn't do what we do without the people who believe in it alongside us. Our Board of Directors is home to educators, builders, and advocates who have spent their careers working toward a more open and connected world of learning. Their guidance helps us grow with intention and stay true to who we are.
