Community Practice

Our community of practice includes faculty, students, alumni and diverse external partners (public agencies, companies, nonprofit organizations, community groups, artists and culture makers, designers, and more).

Educators must continually wrestle with the responsibility of preparing students for the future. This section explores the ways in which educators are integrating the lens of care in teaching and learning. We explore the question: If students are to be builders of more inclusive, resilient and caring communities and organizations, what are the mindsets and capacities they need and what pedagogies will support their development?

“If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday, we rob them of tomorrow.”
John Dewey, Co-founder, The New School (1919)
