About How2.com

Operating under the how2.com domain, TeachingHOW2s provides a digital platform for professional development targeted at the education sector. The company was established in 2011 by Ian Harris, who serves as the Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Harris's background as a teacher and a special educational needs professional directly informed the creation of the enterprise. The venture was born from his experience as an independent coach, recognizing the persistent obstacles that hinder effective continuing professional development (CPD) for educators, such as geographical separation, time constraints, and budget limitations.

The core of the business is a subscription-based service, providing educational institutions with access to the HOW2 Platform. This model allows organizations to offer their entire teaching staff on-demand support. The platform is structured to serve a wide range of educators, from those early in their careers to seasoned professionals, accommodating both full-time and part-time staff across various campuses.

The product itself is a library of visual, step-by-step guides that demonstrate evidence-based teaching techniques. The guides are designed for quick comprehension, aiming to accelerate the adoption of new teaching methods in the classroom. Recently, the platform has integrated AI to deliver real-time, personalized guidance for any lesson or subject matter. A key feature is its emphasis on community and collaboration, enabling users to share practices and insights within their own institution and with a broader network of teaching organizations.
