Featured on this page are the teachers who participated in JusticexDesign's (JxD) first two years of collaborative inquiry (2019-2021). Some of the educators below are Origin Educators and helped launch the project. Others joined in year two. All of the participating teachers contributed immensely to the early phases of the research, the development of the JxD framework, and many of the JxD tools. This page serves to honor their work—all of the grappling, muddying, puzzling, collaborating, and co-constructing they have done and continue to do.
Below each image is the teacher's name, preferred personal pronouns, position, school, and a powerful book/film/podcast/artwork that got them through the past year. Thank you for joining us in honoring these educators and their tremendous work!
