About Us
Mission & Vision
The Institute for Emancipatory Education (IEE) facilitates and amplifies community-engaged research-practice partnerships, advancing emancipatory pedagogies and approaches that support the redesign of learning from preschool through post-secondary.
The IEE's goal is to create more equitable and inclusive educational systems that nurture the creativity and brilliance of all learners and educators so that a diverse, democratic society can thrive.
Our Approach
Emancipatory praxis is a sustained effort to upend the inequitable practices of schooling through centering the wealth of historically marginalized communities.
Here is our method to achieving this:
Developing Assets' Knowledge and Skill
IEE partners these justice-oriented practitioners with faculty experts who support them in translating their core beliefs about equity into pedagogical and organizational practice.
Scale Impact
Our approach to professional learning draws on the rich knowledge and experiences of these leaders and supports them in sustainably scaling their work, moving from isolated pockets of equity and innovation to a coherent network of sustained efforts.
