About the Equity Series
Who should participate in the events?
.
We are holding this virtual equity series for youth activists, innovative educators, and interested community members who want to contribute to an education movement designed for equity.
.
What does it mean to design for equity?
.
Designing for equity means cultivating learning ecosystems in schools and across communities where every person is seen, heard, valued, and loved. It means dismantling historical injustices, building trusting relationships, and honoring every person’s unique gifts to contribute to an equity movement. It means genuinely listening to and including young people as authentic co-creators of a learner-centered paradigm

Facing Our History of Racial Oppression
Designing Equitable Learning series begins on MLK Day and concludes in Black History Month. We will come together virtually to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and all who have suffered (and continue to suffer) at the hands of racial and societal injustices. We come together to love one another, to learn from one another, to commit to anti-racism in our schools, and to untangle the web of inequities that holds us back from achieving our collective goals. We believe growing a global learning ecosystem where every single person is seen, heard, valued, and loved honors Dr. King’s legacy, and we hope you can join us in this calling.
This series continues the community building work from MLK Day, 2020, when a highly diverse group of individuals converged in Minneapolis to co-construct a learner-centered empowerment paradigm built on principles of the Civil Rights Movement. A photo journal of that day is below.
Calling Youth Creators!
Share your gifts, share your voice.
Create something that shows what equity in education means to you. It could be as simple as a one-minute selfie video, but what you create is totally up to you. Share your creation and elevate your voice! Plus, there’s some small monetary prizes as a bonus.
