Reimagining education with empathy, experience, and a deep respect for each individual’s path.

A Word from Laurie Glazener

Founder of Next Step Collab

This is a space for those seeking their next-first-step—whether for themselves, their students, or their children. If you’re exploring alternatives to traditional education and looking for a path that truly makes sense for the individual, you’re in the right place.

I bring both lived and researched experience in schools, schooling, nervous system management, and sensory development to this collaboration. My approach is rooted in personal experience and transparency—I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I navigate these questions alongside you.

Expertise is not just about credentials; it’s about understanding. I’ve played many roles in the education system and have been a consistent advocate for those who feel out of sync with its offerings.

My greatest hope is that, together, we can create supportive, meaningful ways to ‘educate’—youth and ourselves—in ways that truly fit.
