Teaching Through a Thriving Lens with Kia Darling-Hammond
Learn how to think about your teaching through an intersectionally grounded thriving lens
We will apply the six dimensions of the Bridge to Thriving Framework© to questions about the self, students, and the learning environment. What brings us to the work of education and schooling? What do people experiencing complex marginalization need in order to thrive? What would we have to choose or refuse in order to build thriving learning settings? Let’s dig in!
