We will discuss what it means to design at the margins, what a transformative classroom looks like, what transformative environments look like, and how to co-create & co-design with youth through a design sprint.","Description":"The equity through line of our presentation is that a classroom that centers queer youth benefits and positively impacts all students in the classroom. We start off by discussing the current state of affairs, but want to make sure that we focus on queer joy and possibility. We frame the discussion on identity, imagination, and the equityXdesign framework. We discuss foundational elements of reimagining \u201cqueer,\u201d defining \u201cbelonging,\u201d and sharing what queer youth say is \u201cfoundational elements of a classroom.\u201d We end with an overview of equityXdesign and give an opportunity for participants to do a design sprint focus on a key lever of schooling, which allows them to dream and imagine brave spaces.","Link":[],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"This presentation is focused on building definitions together and then depending on the number of participants - will allow participants to see a number of ideas of innovating school levers that relate to centering queer students in the classroom.","Presenter":["Andre Zarate","Lauren Overton"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Andre Zarate - The Z Factor","LLC; House of Legends; 228Accelerator  Lauren Overton - PAS","228Accelerator"],"PresenterEmail":["ljoverton@gmail.com"],"ScheduleSlotID":161,"ScheduleLocationID":36,"SubmitterID":79,"AdditionalComments":"anthony.andre.zarate@gmail.com","LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":11}}
