Reimagining Education: Highlights from the Academic Festival

As our public schools become increasingly racially and ethnically diverse, educators need to reimagine teaching and learning to assure all students reap the multiple educational benefits of this diversity. In 2016 TC launched the Reimagining Education: Teaching and Learning in Racially Diverse Schools Summer Institute - a four day professional development experience and opportunity to connect with people across the country who are committed to sustaining racially, ethnically and socio-economically integrated schools and classrooms. Learn more about how this cross disciplinary program came to be and hear more from the participants about the outcomes and plans for the future.
