Empowering Multilingual Learners with Meaningful Education
We are a team of four teachers launching a relatively new secondary ELD program, building curriculum while simultaneously teaching across multiple proficiency levels.
Strengthening Studio Arts Instruction
This project will give our Visual Arts team a focused, teacher-driven professional learning that strengthens how we teach studio art.
Stronger Together: Co-Teaching Growth
This project strengthens inclusive co-teaching through sustained professional learning and structured collaboration among general education and special education teachers across grade levels.
Designing Impactful ELD for Dual Language Classrooms
This project supports a core team of five dual language immersion teachers in developing and implementing culturally responsive English Language Development (ELD) practices in our classrooms.
Union Maya Project
Our project grows from teachers’ recognition that we are not yet serving Mam-speaking students with the care, understanding or respect they deserve.
Restorative Justice from Diverse Perspectives
Cultural and academic data shows that Black students and students with disabilities have fewer positive academic outcomes and school experiences at our school compared with white students. Most school systems are directed at student behavior as the problem and are ineffective. We believe this is because behavior is a symptom of unidentified systemic issues. Our project will identify the systemic problems causing student behavior issues, and use trauma-informed practices to improve student outcomes. Our team of six educators across content areas will attend the Innovative Schools Summit Student Discipline Conference, using this learning experience as the starting point for a two year cycle of student data collection and analysis. Our goal is to change at least one school system to create better experiences and outcomes for our struggling students.
