Engaging parents in our CHEC Redesign at back to school night. CHECDC DCPS Design Lab #CHECTHENEXTITERATION

It was a good day at CHEC for redesign. Mya Ferguson had her students doing a redesign of her classroom. The middle school team introduced the students to our redesign model. The 10th grade team had choice Friday. DCPS Design Lab CHECDC #checthenextinteration #youthvoice

Another good week for redesign at CHEC. Myself along with the students on the design team conducted 9th and 10th grade focus groups. The students had so many ideas on our bold ideas. DCPS Design Lab CHECDC #CHECtheNextIteration #youthvoice

Life was lifing😬 this week and I did not get any pictures of all the great work we did this week at CHEC. Nevertheless, the middle school and 11th grade teams shared their feedback and needs with me and now my brain is 🔥CHECDC DCPS Design Lab XQ #checthenextiteration

Congratulations to all 6 schools who have joined this journey so far! So excited for Paul Laurence Dunbar and Cardozo EC to be Cohort 1 while CHECDC, Coolidge High School, Ron Brown HS, & HD Woodson HS receive continued support to drive the realization of their school models with XQ

This just happened! 2 years ago Appian and I set a goal to create a curriculum that focused on STEAM, Design Thinking, and social justice. I was surprised with this today😭. All 8th graders CHECDC will get to use it. Thanks Appian #checthenextiteration #CurriculumDeveloper

Had the chance to visit PurduePolytechnicHS for the past 2 days to see how they incorporate youth voice and choice in their school community through projects and the schedule. Thank you for your time and knowledge. CHECDC XQ #checthenextiteration

Sometimes when you are deep in school redesign and doing all the big things your forget there are small things you can do along the way that will make a big difference. I am listening CHECDC #checthenextiteration #popup #youthvoice DCPS Design Lab #redesigndirector

Transitioning from a math teacher, to a math coach,to the Director of the IT and Engineering academy at CHEC, now to the redesign Director one thing is for sure you will always find me in close proximity to STEAM. It is my passion. CHECDC STEM for Her

Today was a good day. Got to meet with our core team to discuss how we are managing change for our stakeholders and even dived into rewriting our mission. CHECDC DCPS Design Lab XQ

" The past is present: present in people, in our communities, in the things around us, in the words we use..." -Christine Ortiz, Ph.D. #equityXdesign Powerful!! So much packed into this course. Do yourself a favor and get into it.

What a way to end 2022!!!! We invited our stakeholders to come out and give feedback on our food equity and PBL prototypes from CHEC's 1st design sprint. #checthenextiteration #Redesign #Rethinkhighschool. CHECDC XQ DCPS Design Lab

As I navigate the school redesign journey it is important to me that I keep equity at the forefront of this work and this course I just completed helped me do just that. Shout out Equity Meets Design on this inspiring course. DCPS Design Lab XQ

“The DC+XQ initiative ensures our school communities are at the center of the work to rethink and redesign the student experience. I look forward to the ideas and opportunities that will come out of Coolidge, CHEC, H.D. Woodson, and Ron Brown.” -Mayor Muriel Bowser
