Educational Justice Learning Lab

Purpose

The Educational Justice Learning Lab brings faculty together to examine educational inequities and strengthen equity-focused teaching. Participants reflect on their own practice, learn alongside colleagues, and develop approaches that better support Cabrillo’s students.

What You'll Explore

Through EJLL, you will deepen your understanding of educational justice and apply what you learn to your teaching and practice. You will examine your own course data, engage with equity-focused ideas, and create a portfolio that documents your learning and completed work.

Format

Cohort 4 introduces a condensed, semester-based model of EJLL. Most activities will be completed online through self-paced, asynchronous learning. The program also includes two required online meetings and two required in-person gatherings.

  • Attend all four required meetings, both in person and online.
