LEARNING DESIGNS
Here are some main assignments, resources, and routines from courses I teach across English education, teacher education, urban education, and interdisciplinary humanities. My courses typically activate social design, performance, hacking, sound design, and art making. Antiracism, education justice, and ethical community partnerships are common themes. My courses regularly collaborate with artists, educators, and community organizers.
