Arin Lavinia, educator, entrepreneur, and author, founded Lavinia Group in 2015 to support educators to reimagine student outcomes and experience in urban schools.  Arin began Lavinia Group by teaching her transformational methods for joyfully rigorous literacy instruction, intellectual preparation, and teacher and leader professional learning to school leaders and teachers across a small subset of schools in New York City. The results were extraordinary. Under Arin’s leadership, Lavinia Group quickly grew to support hundreds of schools to close the opportunity gap, currently serving over 300,000 students across 23 states.
