Are you a K-12 educator who integrates social and emotional learning along with diversity, equity, and inclusion into your curriculum? The Visionary Change Agent Educator Institute welcomes educators at advanced stages in their journey to join us in this important work. Our week-long curriculum writing retreat offers tools and resources for educators to co-create a curriculum (scope and sequence) that works for your school. The focus will be to incorporate four concepts: self-awareness, affirming all identities, social dynamics, and social awareness into all subjects, especially social studies and language arts. The week's framework pulls from national standards in social studies, social and emotional learning competencies from the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL), Social Justice and Teaching Hard History standards from Learning for Justice, Dr. Gholdy Muhammed's work in her books about cultivating genius and joy in education, and activities from the Institute for Social and Emotional Learning (IFSEL). Each day incorporates down time and opportunities for different types of self-care. The facilitators and presenters for the week are Dr. Tameka Hobbs, Cassie Koscianski, and Lily Medina. Let us support you in creating a more inclusive educational environment for your students. Join us as we work towards a more equitable world together, one where we will encourage and inspire visionary change agents world-wide.
