OUR WORK

We offer professional development to expand educators’ knowledge of how to empower their students and use students’ cultural and linguistic capital as an asset in the classroom. We provide educators with theoretical and practical solutions so all students, regardless of their background, can reach their full academic potential. We believe that professional development works best when it is ongoing and collaborative. Our reciprocal learning partnership framework allows educators to collaboratively co-construct equity actions to support improved academic outcomes for all students.
