Building K-12 Educators' Agency Toward Justice and Wellbeing

Summer Institute: Aug 17 & 18 (9AM-1PM) IN PERSON

Saturday Sessions: Oct 21 | Jan 20 | March 23 (HYBRID OPTION) | June 1 (9AM-12PM) ONLINE

Teachers have a unique perspective about what they need to improve their practice. EduDesign is an experimental space that supports teachers to engage in a collective process of inquiry-- to grapple with self-identified questions and problems of practice. The fellowship is a year-round experience that kicks off with a summer institute and includes multiple convenings throughout the year. Each cohort provides space for fellows to build community, make sense of big ideas together, grow their justice work-- in their practice and in schools, and support one another as professionals.  

Together we will deepen our understanding and practice of asset-based pedagogies that draw upon the strengths, experiences and wisdoms of our students, their families and their communities. We will look to scholarship around culturally responsive and sustaining pedagogies, as well as social and emotional wellbeing as a basis for our work together. Each session will also challenge us to make concrete connections to our own contexts, considering multiple layers of justice work in our classroom practice, in our relationships with school colleagues, and in the larger districts, systems, and communities where we are teaching and learning.
