Teachers' Lounge
About
Consider topics, issues and ideals related to teaching and learning with colleagues. Freely exchange and develop ideas in a relaxed and congenial environment. Join educators from across K-12, informal learning, and colleges and universities for aspirational conversations around topics of shared interest. Each Teachers' Lounge is facilitated by an invited guest who initiates the dialogue around relevant pedagogical issues.
Life as an educator can sometimes feel like a balancing act in a broken world as we navigate tensions in our own lives, support students through challenges at school and home, and struggle with the limitations of the institutions we work in. Join peers in conversation and creative visioning toward classrooms and worlds where we are freer to teach, learn, and lead with our hearts.
