Our Big Why

Born and raised in Vietnam, and having taught here ourselves, we deeply admire the perseverance, creativity, and love of learning that define Vietnamese teachers. Yet, through our collective experience at top U.S. universities, one gap stood out: Upskilling Opportunities.
By bridging global best practices with local expertise, we equip teachers with practical guides, smart solutions, and a strong community to lead educational transformation.

Our Philosophy

It’s time to rethink professional development in Vietnam, and that begins with breaking these three myths.

High-quality, tailored training is always expensive.

Thanks to many advances, especially in technology and open resources, becoming an expert doesn’t have to come at a high cost anymore. With the appropriate tools and guidance, professional growth is more accessible than ever.

Theory is far from practice.

True professional development is deeply contextual. Instead of pulling you away from your classroom, we dive into your work with you, answering the real, urgent questions that keep you up at night. The only thing you need to bring? Curiosity and lots of questions.

Developed countries must be doing better than us.

A deficit-based mindset holds back progress. We’ve been in elite classrooms, and we’re here to tell you the truth—the good, the bad, and the in-between—so you can leverage your strengths and resources to create solutions that work for you and your community.

Our Inspiration

Thánh Gióng - The story behind our logo and vision
The Iron Horse
Embracing Innovation & Change
Thánh Gióng’s iron horse symbolizes breakthrough advancements—a bold step forward in his time. Just as he embraced new technology to fight for his country, we champion education innovation, adapting to the AI-enhanced world and equipping educators with tools to grow and thrive.
The Bamboo Spear
Localization Matters
When his spear broke in battle, Gióng turned to bamboo, a familiar, locally available resource. This reminds us that innovation doesn’t stand alone—it must be rooted in local expertise while integrating global best practices. At InnovatEd Space, we act as a bridge between the global education landscape and Vietnam, ensuring that change is both relevant and impactful.
The Village
The Power of Collective Effort
Gióng’s strength was nurtured by his community—villagers came together to feed, equip, and prepare him. Likewise, transforming education is not a solo endeavor. It requires a system-wide effort—educators, school leaders, and innovators working together to create lasting impact.
