Our History
Ulrich Boser established The Learning Agency in 2017. The organization grew out of the success of his book, “Learn Better,” which was called “the best science book of the year” by Amazon and was featured in many media outlets, including Wired, Slate, Vox, Fast Company, and The Atlantic.
Today, the organization provides strategic, data-driven consulting to schools, companies and foundations. This work includes everything from advising on instructional design to helping to scale effective learning technologies. We also offer focused communications, helping organizations get out their message from traditional outlets like newspapers to social media like Facebook and Twitter.

Case Study: Critical Thinking
In 2017, the Reboot Foundation released a study on critical thinking, pulled together by the Learning Agency,
The study found that while the public claims that they engage opposing views, they don’t actually engage other views in practice. Indeed, only 25 percent of people are willing to regularly have debates with people who disagree with them.
Using an online panel, The Learning Agency team helped pull together the report, and it received some fantastic press coverage including pieces in Forbes, Quartz, the Washington Post, and the Washington Examiner.
