Our Programs
STEM teachers explore equity frameworks and engineering design-based teaching strategies to improve their practice through a four-part student-centered cycle. By the end of the series participants adapt and implement an equity practice in the classroom and share results with the JBF community for peer feedback.
The Equity Leaders' Institute prepares school leaders to initiate their own customized Design Lab with curriculum and continued support for schools and districts in the US and other countries, rapidly expanding STEM belonging in classrooms.
Courses for STEM educators who want to redesign their classrooms by putting into practice the big ideas of culturally responsive and sustaining STEM teaching. Our anytime, anywhere course makes innovative STEM pedagogy accessible, achievable and convenient.
Each course offers 1.0 graduate credits through Adams State University.
We've expanded to India!
On July 17, 2023, JBF, in partnership with the Jane Goodall Institute, conducted its first international Design Lab in Hapur in northern India. 20 teachers from local schools attended the two-day event led by JBF Mentor Fellow, Purvi.
