Lessoncast brings together teams of educators to identify gaps, opportunities, and next steps for designing inclusive and equitable curricula and student learning experiences. We customize our methods and materials to fit your district’s / organization’s specific curriculum development and professional learning needs.
This series may be provided in-person or virtually, in a multi-day academy experience or as a series of two-hour workshops with differentiated asynchronous activities. The workshop series is informed by research on culturally responsive education and equitable curriculum and instructional practices. Your district may opt to kick off this professional learning series with a facilitated student panel.
Our keynote speakers enlighten and inspire educators to reflect on individual and systemic practices, confront inequitable outcomes, and remove barriers to equity. We’ll connect a compelling message to your context and community.

Our workshops help learning communities apply the Designing for Equity Framework, which is grounded in neuroscience and culturally sustaining pedagogy. In these workshops, participants define areas of inequity, dismantle barriers to equitable outcomes, and design learning environments and experiences where all learners are welcomed, honored, and empowered.
