Presenter: Amy Junge, Director, Teacher-Powered Schools at Education Evolving Teacher-powered schools – schools that are collectively designed and run by teams of educators – are a powerful and practical strategy for more equitable student learning that taps into the energy and brilliance inherent in school communities. Teachers partner with students, families and communities to create student-centered learning experiences that honor, support and develop each student as individual learners and persons. Amy Junge will explore the structures and cultural characteristics of teacher-powered schools, the many benefits of these learning environments for students and communities and the growing movement of 250+ teacher powered schools that are embracing this approach to educating and making change. EDTalks is co-presented by Achieve Twin Cities and Graves Ventures, a project of The Graves Foundation, in partnership with The Citizens League.
