Cultivating Conversation: Increasing Student Talk in the Classroom
Our project aims to transform our classrooms into spaces filled with the voices of our English language learners and newcomers (rather than teachers).
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.
Our Changing Planet – Community of Practice
We want to deepen our understanding of environmental justice, indigenous wisdom and creative practice, to better understand our world, and as educators advocate for just climate solutions. Working with local experts/organizations in our community, we will deepen our knowledge and our facilitation practices to make more meaningful connections with each other, build knowledge across disciplines, and apply new learning in our classrooms.
Equity Learning Walk
This team of middle school teachers will cultivate a transformative learning community committed to anti-racist and inclusive education for all students, staff, and families. In the first year of the grant, they will apply the skills from Jenjii Hysten and Blaze Consultancy’s Emotional Intelligence, Equity, & Inclusion training to design and pilot a preliminary equity learning walk.
Deeper Learning & Stronger Support for Teachers
A team of seasoned teachers plans to foster greater passion and engagement in their classrooms by building a professional learning toolkit around Deeper Learning.
Operation Lesson Study
This team of middle and high school math teachers will work collaboratively to develop a seamless mathematics education for students as they grow through their community’s two secondary schools.
