She is joining Education Elements from District of Columbia Public Schools, where she worked on the Innovation and Design Team to support both the Design Lab and LEAP. On the Design Lab, Purvi provided DCPS school leaders and their teams with the time, space, and resources to develop bold new school models. More specifically, Purvi coached four schools through the redesign process using the principles of human-centered design and equityxdesign.

Meet Educators Addressing Inequities & Breaking Barriers in Their Schools & Districts
