Unbounded Learning Inc

OUR VISION IS THAT EDUCATION SYSTEMS DISRUPT SYSTEMIC RACISM BY PROVIDING STUDENTS OF COLOR MEANINGFUL, ENGAGING, AND AFFIRMING GRADE-LEVEL INSTRUCTION. MEANINGFUL, ENGAGING, AND AFFIRMING GRADE-LEVEL INSTRUCTION IS THE RESULT OF COMBINING ANTIRACIST IDEOLOGY WITH CULTURALLY RELEVANT PEDAGOGY. EVIDENCE OF MEANINGFUL, ENGAGING, AND AFFIRMING GRADE-LEVEL INSTRUCTION CAN BE FOUND IN: - TEACHER KNOWLEDGE AND BELIEFS - TEACHER REFLECTION AND PLANNING ACTIVITIES - TEACHER ACTIONS IN THE CLASSROOM - STUDENT LEARNING EXPERIENCES

VIRTUAL SUMMIT - UNBOUNDED'S INTERACTIVE TWO-DAY VIRTUAL SUMMIT FOR TEACHERS, COACHES, AND LEADERS EMPHASIZES INSTRUCTIONAL PLANNING IN THE COMPLEX ERA COVID-19 AND AMIDST A HISTORICAL ANTI-RACIST MOVEMENT. WITH AN EMPHASIS ON GRADE-LEVEL CURRICULUM, STRATEGIC SUPPORTS, AND EQUITABLE INSTRUCTION, THE UNBOUNDED VIRTUAL SUMMIT MOVES EDUCATORS THROUGH PLANNING PROCESSES THAT CAN PRODUCE MEANINGFUL, ENGAGING IN-PERSON AND VIRTUAL CLASSROOM EXPERIENCES. TEACHERS & COACHES LEAVE THE VIRTUAL SUMMIT BETTER PREPARED TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS THAT ADDRESS UNFINISHED INSTRUCTION WHILE REMAINING IN GRADE-LEVEL CURRICULUM, AND LEADERS LEAVE THE VIRTUAL SUMMIT BETTER PREPARED TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT ENSURE STUDENTS HAVE EQUITABLE ACCESS TO GRADE-LEVEL INSTRUCTION.

OUR TWO COHORT PROGRAMS, THE SYSTEM LEADER ACADEMY AND THE EQUITY INFLUENCER RESIDENCY, WORK IN TANDEM TO BUILD A SYSTEM'S CAPACITY BY TRAINING COHORTS OF LEADERS WHO BECOME CHANGE AGENTS FOR SUPPORTING EFFECTIVE, EQUITY-FOCUSED INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES. WHEREAS THE EQUITY INFLUENCER RESIDENCY (EIR) DEVELOPS TEACHER LEADERS, COACHES, PRINCIPALS, AND SUPPORT STAFF WHO DIRECTLY BUILD CAPACITY IN TEACHERS TO SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENT EQUITABLE INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES, THE SYSTEM LEADER ACADEMY (SLA) DEVELOPS LEADERS AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF A DISTRICT TO IMPLEMENT SYSTEMS THAT SCALE EQUITABLE INSTRUCTION.
