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.
Differentiation through Student Self-Efficacy
This team of elementary school teachers wants to learn best practices in developing differentiated instruction to meet students at their current academic levels. With the pandemic widening gaps in competencies for students, these teachers plan to develop a toolkit that meets students’ specific needs, whether they are intervention, self-paced learning, or challenging enrichment.
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.
Improving Outcomes for Multilingual Scholars through Collective Capacity Building
This team of dedicated high school teachers will deepen their focus and support of multilingual scholars. By attending seminars, participating in book study, and engaging consultants, the team aims to educate itself on anti-racist, socially-just education, and then build its collective capacity to provide students with high-interest content using engaging, relevant language activities.
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.
Studying Climate Justice Through Science, Art, and Action!
This team of elementary educators will develop 4th and 5th grade Climate Change/Environmental Justice units that teach climate science grounded in the environmental justice concerns of their community. These units will integrate climate science into Spanish and English language arts, as well as visual arts, theater arts, and engineering projects.
