Leading Radical Change
The Education for Liberation team at the IU School of Education at IUPUI offers professional learning and technical assistance to improve schooling outcomes for all, especially underserved students. Through an equity lens, we help schools in these areas:
- Equity: centers the culture, heritage, and lives of all children and links culturally sustaining policies, programs, and practices to academic excellence and expansive learning opportunities for all children
- Pedagogy: cultivates in educators the capacity for enacting powerful pedagogical change that is culturally responsive and sustaining through the Enduring Principles of Learning
- Curriculum: uses curriculum mapping to make standard school curriculum more culturally responsive and sustaining
- Family, Community, School Engagement: leverages the strengths and needs of stakeholders who work together to develop a shared vision built on democratic participation, mutual respect, critical consciousness, and sustainability
What is Education for Liberation?
Education for Liberation is rooted in the belief that there has always been a link between education and citizenship. It necessitates evaluating the quality of relationships, pedagogy, the accuracy and inclusivity of curricular content, and family, community, and school partnerships. Education for Liberation promotes critical cultural consciousness, content integration, prejudice reduction, and equitable pedagogy by linking knowledge production to the work of democracy and social justice. At its foundation, Education for Liberation supports efforts to resist dehumanizing practices within education and to simultaneously (re)inscribe practices that humanize ALL children.
