Virtual Series School 2025–2026
Radical Dreaming Community of Practice
Hosted by Jamila Dugan
The Radical Dreaming Community of Practice is a yearlong virtual learning experience for educators, instructional coaches, school and system leaders, and nonprofit partners who are ready to lead with purpose and possibility. With two tailored tracks—one for instructional leaders and one for administrative leaders—this community is designed to help educators both dream about the possibilities of transformative education and build the skills, mindsets, and tools needed to create change in our systems now. At a time when many feel constrained and exhausted, it offers something different: a bold invitation to reimagine education, reconnect with our purpose, and co-create learning environments where students—and the adults who serve them—can truly thrive.
Whether you’re a teacher, paraeducator, coach, principal, or nonprofit partner, there’s a place for you here. Choose between two tracks—Instructional or Administrative Leadership—and join a community that centers rest, reflection, and radical imagination. Find the full overview here.

THE OFFICIAL WORKSHOP FOLLOW UP SERIES
Tending To Teachers
Join us to expand on our conceptions of teacher development and support. In this learning community, we will work together to bring our intentions for improved teacher tending to impact. We will engage in knowledge building, skill development, and consultancies to facilitate day to day change making so that more teachers can thrive in your context.
WORKSHOP TESTIMONIAL
"The Tending to Teachers workshop really stretched me as a school leader to reflect on my personal and professional practices as it relates to trust and tending to teachers' needs. I feel empowered to return to my campus and provide support to ensure everyone feels valued, appreciated and supported for the next school year."

Cultural Practice, Joy, and Adult Learning Design
In this learning community, we explore ideas of personal authenticity, elevating cultural wealth, and tuning into the full humanity of educators as the designers of professional learning. Every person has unique gifts, talents, and cultural practices that matter to them.
Together, we will identify and practice ways to design and facilitate learning that allows us to draw on our own cultural practices and be our most authentic selves. We will leave with a greater understanding and skillset to invite cultural wealth into the learning spaces we design.

Placemaking Lab: A Tool for Embodied Belonging
In this learning community, we will seek to collectively understand, iterate, and experiment with the meaning and power of placemaking as a tool for embodied belonging. We will explore big questions, such as: How can we use placemaking within our learning spaces to reimagine, build, and foster a deeper sense of learning and connection for all? What does the natural and built world offer us and how can they support our collective vision in our schools/classrooms? How can placemaking in schools help us to restore and sustain a sense of safety, care, and joy in our everyday spaces alongside students?
Our community will also serve as a learning lab, where together we will explore, probe, and create frameworks for our own authentic place-based projects connected to the land we live on and the communities we are connected to.
