All learners have the potential to be empowered change makers in our democracy.
Agency by Design Oakland offers a path to use maker-centered learning to support equity, critical thinking, joyful school culture, and a shift to learner-driven practice.
We work at the nexus of teacher leadership, inquiry-based practice, and maker-centered learning. We grew out of a collaboration with the Agency by Design research project based at Project Zero, a research center at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. We lead professional development for educators, with a focus on equity and sustainable change.
