What's Happening in Envision Learning Partners?
In March, Envision Learning Partners participated in the second annual

Creating Holonomy: Leading Change for Deeper Learning
Sally Kingston, Envision Learning Partners Executive Director
Symon Hayes, Envision Learning Partners Director of Professional Development
Effective change leadership is at the heart of leading deeper learning. School and teacher leaders who have the strategic know-how to translate a deeper learning vision into practice can transform the lives of students and teachers. In a deep dive session, participants engaged in protocols with an eye to implementing these practices in their own schools.
Is Equity in Deeper Learning Possible?
Gia Truong, Envision Education CEO & Superintendent
Daniel Allen, City Arts and Technology High School Principal
What does it take to make deeper learning happen for all students? How can we create schools where under-privileged students thrive? In a deep dive session, participants experienced protocols/processes they can use with their own colleagues to explore issues of equity and deeper learning.
You Are What You CrEate: Moving from Media Consumer to Producer in a Complex World
Trevor Gardner, Envision Academy of Arts & Technology Teacher
Mary Hendra, Facing History and Ourselves Associate Program Director
The media is perhaps the most democratic institution of our generation. As a tool for cultural production, it is accessible to almost everyone. Using Facing History and Ourselves' pedagogical framework and resources, in a workshop educators learned how to support their students in becoming critically thinking witnesses to the complex world around them and, ultimately, producers of their own media to (re)shape the world.
