Systems for Education
Equity Development Fellowship (SEED)

 

Addressing inequity in education with a systemic approach.

The SEED (Systems for Education Equity Development) fellowship is a six-month cohort experience that equips leaders with strategies to redesign inequitable systems in their schools or district. Each cohort will consist of 18 passionate leaders who will engage in a series of workshops over the course of six months, under the direction of a former district leader. Free to apply; fee for cohort participants is $7500.

Address the system not the symptoms: Connect, Include, Create.

Diveristy, Equity, & Inclusion + Personalized Learning


Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and Personalized Learning (PL) do not have a dependent relationship. A school or district could prioritize one without the other.
