Unlocking the Science of Biliteracy
This project serves to enhance our professional capacities as teachers by providing us with the requisite knowledge and skills to instruct emergent biliteracy students effectively.
Returning to our Roots: Crafting Empowering Learning
We will reinvigorate SEED’s mission by designing Project-Based Learning units infused with best practices in Dual Language and Universal Design for Learning (UDL).
Using Science and Social Justice to Raise Teaching Practice
Our project will serve teachers of students in a historically Black, disadvantaged, and low-income community facing severe environmental and social issues.
The Power of Play
Play theorist Brian Sutton-Smith concluded, ‘The opposite of play is not work–the opposite of play is depression.’ While research supports this, traditional schools continue to treat play as frivolous and double down on the pressure to raise students’ standardized test scores.
Raising a Community of Writers
We aim to cultivate passionate, independent student writers, as well as to grow as teachers and leaders. We all teach Writing Workshop (WW). Our goal is to give students meaningful writing experiences that reflect their identities, as well as encourage collaboration, perseverance, and a love for writing.
Project Based Geometry and The Trades
The project will help train teachers in how to implement a more rigorous math curriculum that will better prepare students for an advanced level of math. In addition, our team will find innovative ways to develop projects that make Geometry more relatable to the real world focusing on vocational careers.
