Education for Liberation's overarching purpose is to execute a model of School Change Leadership and teacher professional development (PD) that results in radical, sustainable, measurable, and replicable educational equity for historically marginalized students.
Funded by the Lumina Foundation, this Education for Liberation (E4L) Grant implements a two-year model of professional development that improves equity in access, opportunities, and outcomes for historically marginalized students. School Change Leadership teams at two highly diverse elementary school sites in Indianapolis Public Schools utilize online modules, professional learning communities, and coaching models to support collaborative school improvement.
E4L promotes collaborative capacity building to center marginalized student populations to transform inequitable conditions and structures. E4L engages participants in learning that is transformative, relational, courageous, and culturally sustaining to more richly humanizing learning environments, support participatory democracy, and promote freedom from oppression. Our PD constantly bridges theory and practice, ensuring equity is manifested in everyday pedagogical and curricular practices and experiences.
The Education for Liberation’s Lumina Initiative is a professional learning strand of the "Cultural Competency: Leading Radical Change" professional development series of Institutes developed by IUPUI. The materials and activities are designed to guide, support, and empower your school leadership team as trainers-of-trainers to cultivate the capacity for enacting powerful pedagogical change in your school that reflects deep cultural competency.
