What do you wish an equitable, K-12 science education could be for students? That’s what 100+ Oregon educators of all levels around the state did this week. We got symbolic, aspirational, and practical about it. Grateful to have facilitated this work #k12science #equityineducation #teachersrock

Their Urgency is Not Your Emergency — Lori Cohen Consulting The Chain Reaction of Other People's Panic I was leading a workshop recently and we were discussing ways of supporting our well-being. The exercise we were working on was how to address rather than ...

I had so much fun chatting with @shaneleaning.com about how to reimagine education through slowing down and taking deliberate, small actions to tend to the ecosystems of our communities.
