Inquiry to Empower Collective Efficacy
Our goal is to empower staff to conduct classroom inquiry to galvanize our collective efficacy – a shared belief that through our collective action, we can positively influence student outcomes.
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).
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.
PBL for Newcomers: Language Development, Engagement and Empowerment
We are a team of interdisciplinary teachers committed to the equitable and engaging education of newcomer English learners. We seek to leverage our expertise as we create and implement Project Based Learning (PBL) units specifically designed for our students.
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.
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.
