Every day, we have the honor of supporting the work of school districts and communities engaging in deep partnership to create better opportunities and outcomes for students. Below is a list of our current projects.
We support districts learning about new models, tools, and programs that are centered in belonging, identity, and culture through Learning Salons. Learning Salons are hands-on experiences focused on workshopping district-identified problems of practice with the goal of generating solution ideas and mapping districts to relevant solution providers.
Learning Salon: SEL and Family Engagement
Districts and solution providers engage in root cause analysis and solution mapping focused on district problems of practice in social-emotional learning (SEL) and Family Engagement.
Learning Salon: Real World Learning
The Real-World Learning Salon is designed for district leaders to discover innovative, equity-first learning solutions specific to real-world application in support of students furthest from opportunity.
Learning Salon: Mental Health and Trauma
The Mental Health and Trauma-Informed Practices Learning Salon is tailored for district leaders to workshop a problem of practice with solution providers who lead culturally responsive high-impact systems and programs.
