Job Description
ABOUT UNBOUNDED
UnboundEd is dedicated to ensuring that education systems disrupt systemic racism by providing students of color meaningful, engaging and affirming grade-level instruction. We are a team of former classroom teachers, curriculum writers, and school and program leaders dedicated to empowering educators to meet the challenges set by higher standards, unfinished instruction, and institutional racism. We provide immersive instructional equity professional development, free high-quality standards-aligned resources for the classroom, and other professional learning opportunities for teachers, coaches, and leaders. We thrive in working collaboratively and work to dismantle white supremacist structures within our own organization and within the education system.
With an emphasis on grade-level curriculum, strategic supports, and equitable instruction, the UnboundEd Virtual Summit moves educators through planning processes that can produce meaningful and engaging in-person and virtual classroom experiences.
