This event has passed.

The Equity in Learning Design Workshop brought together researchers, community-based organizations, school leaders, and foundations to brainstorm a new vision for partnerships between researchers and the communities they serve, in order to drive solutions that are not only effective, but also equitable, diverse, and responsive to the needs of all learners.

Crafted in collaboration with the Stanford d.school, the workshop created an intentional space for participants to listen, learn, connect and generate ideas for collaborations. A third of the participants were leaders of community organizations, a third represented foundations, and another third were Stanford faculty, staff, and students.

“Leadership is there in the people. You don’t have to worry about where your leaders are, how are we going to get some leaders . . . If you go out and work with your people, then the leadership will emerge.”

— Bob Moses, education visionary and civil rights activist
