ESJ is teaming up with the Wash U Social System Design Lab, SkipNV, and EdHubSTL to provide free Systems Thinking training to educators interested in removing barriers and building pathways for
educational equity |
In each interactive session you will learn how to:
1) apply systems thinking techniques in classrooms, schools, higher ed, and
2) look inward and explore how each educator’s actions, decisions, etc.
affect the systems that produce educational equities and inequities.
