Student-Panelists Needed, 3rd Annual Symposium for Disability and Accessibility at Yale
The 3rd Annual Symposium for Disability and Accessibility at Yale will run from April 8-12, 2024. Because 2024 marks the 70th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education decision, the programming will explore the intersections of race, disability, and education.
On Monday, April 8th, there will be a screening of Teach Us All, a documentary and social justice campaign on educational inequality set against the backdrop of the 1957 Little Rock school crisis. Kenya Loudd, the organizer, is looking for an EDST student to serve as a panelist at this event. If you’ve studied the history of school desegregation, are interested in education equity, and would be willing to serve as a student-panelist, please email kenya.loudd@yale.edu.
Become a Full-Time Innovation Fellow for Legends
Legends, an app for parents + kids, is trying to address the youth mental health crisis and build preventative skills to address anxiety + depression. They’re leveraging story, research-based mental health micro-interventions, and parent engagement best practices…and needless to say, having a lot of fun.
Legends is looking to hire a full-time Innovation Fellow for an 8-month term (to potentially extend) to support the design and lead the implementation of a new approach to school that leads to kids who are confident, capable, and engaged – rather than burned out and turned off. (Specifically: personalized learning in core subjects, daily wellness education, and a majority of the day spent in thoughtfully-designed project-based learning in topics a kid is genuinely passionate about.)
They’d work with a team of educational experts to design the pilot program, and then implement it with 3-8 kids over six months. They’d need to be willing to relocate internationally (likely to Greece) for an extended period of time. Full job (and program) description is here. It’s an exciting opportunity for an early-career leader to build something innovative from scratch, with an experienced team committed to your success. Looking for someone who has both incredible hands-on skills with kids and great strategic program design instincts.
