EduCon 2024

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 “queer,” defining “belonging,” and sharing what queer youth say is “foundational elements of a classroom.” 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.
