Participants will learn to approach curriculum design using open resources and practices, universal design and an equity lens to improve course materials. Participants will connect with cohort members to establish a community of innovative teachers working toward more equitable and socially just student learning experiences.

Participants will use concepts and techniques examined in Part 1 to implement some of these approaches.

Part 1 will be a 4-week online course that runs February 20-March 17, 2023. We will use technology (e.g. Canvas, Zoom, etc) to connect synchronously. Participants must be available for a 90-minute small group conversation each week, and absences must be made up. In addition to the weekly discussion, Part 1 participants will read, watch, listen to, and reflect on resources.

Part 2 will be an optional asynchronous course that runs 5 weeks to accommodate spring break, March 20-April 21, 2023.

Part 1- Explore: $200 stipend upon completion.
Part 2 - Implement: $300 upon completion; Part 2 is optional for Part 1 participants, but Part 1 must be completed in order to participate in Part 2.
