Schoolwide Scheduling for Equity: Designing Programs for All Learners

January 23 @ 7:30 am – 8:30 am PST

Presented by: Rachael George

Join us for a dynamic workshop led by Dr. Rachael George, an expert in program design and access. In this session, we delved into the art of schoolwide scheduling–the process of crafting a program schedule that prioritizes student needs and ensures equitable access for all.

In this workshop we explored:

Strategies to identify student interests, aspirations, needs, and identities to inform program development.
Methods to identify and dismantle barriers that prevent students from accessing programs they are interested in.
Tools for identifying and mitigating barriers to access.

By engaging with this workshop you will be ready to:

Identify practical tools for designing program schedules that accommodate diverse needs and learning styles.
Develop strategies to collaborate with stakeholders (teachers, parents, students) to ensure inclusive program design.
Construct a framework for designing programs that are responsive to students’ needs and identities.
