Create an equitable classroom filled with critically engaged students in this professional development workshop focusing on facilitation and questioning techniques.

In collaboration with the Brooklyn Public Library and Brooklyn Botanic Garden, we call on the legacy of activism, innovation, and collaboration in education to develop the radical imaginations of the teachers of the future.

In 2017, our Teacher Institute has been re-envisioned as a Feminist Freedom School focusing on the exhibitions of A Year of Yes: Reimagining Feminism at the Brooklyn Museum. Teachers will spend time with Georgia O’Keeffe: Living Modern, We Wanted a Revolution: Black Radical Women, 1965–85, and A Woman’s Afterlife: Gender Transformation in Ancient Egypt.
