The Center for Educational Leadership (CEL) partners with courageous leaders in classrooms, schools, and systems that support them to eliminate educational inequities by creating cultures of rigorous teaching, learning and leading. CEL believes educational justice lies in the development of leadership capacity―specifically nurturing the will to act on behalf of the most underserved students while increasing leadership knowledge and skill to dramatically improve the quality of instruction. As a nonprofit center within the University of Washington College of Education, our access to current research and best practices makes our work toward this goal especially effective.
We are committed to learning, teaching, and leading alongside our colleagues and students of color as partners and allies to raise up and amplify their voices, cultures, and experiences in order to co-create communities that uphold the fundamental values of human rights and racial equity. As practitioners, we recognize the need for deep listening, focused learning, and humble cooperation.
TLCN no longer offers summer workshops in the original 2 week setting. However, we can do 2 day workshops at your school for your staff and any surrounding schools/educators you'd like to invite. Determine topics based on your needs. ith the changes in teaching and learning to better prepare today's students for life after high school, we know everyone's needs are different. Authentic learning experiences require a change in how we think, how we teach and how we assess. Workshopscan be scheduled that are appropriate for Elementary, Secondary, and/or a variety of content areas. Workshop topics target topics and skills that will allow educators to change their own practice to better support the goal of creating successful students in a rapidly changing world. Sessions would focus on supporting teachers as they seek to create authentic and rigorous learning experiences. Session topics could include developing growth mindset and effective habits of mind; deeper engagement through application of skills; utilizing and integrating technology in the classroom; online presentation skills; and understanding with poverty students in mind. Workshops would need to be 2 days in length, if graduate college credit is desired (offered by Baker University as a separate fee).
