SEED: Rock County Cohort

We are so thrilled to be starting cohort 8 of Rock County SEED: Seeking Educational Equity and Diversity! While we are primarily serving staff in the School District of Beloit, if you are interested in joining us for this personal and professional development opportunity over the next six months, send me a private message! 💚

We look forward to starting our 8th cohort of SEEsd Rock County this fall. This is a 10 month opportunity to engage in ongoing monthly seminars focused on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Our focus is on how we take what we learn and applying it in our educational settings, but we welcome participation with partners in community organizations who want to engage deeply in this work. Stay Tuned for more information!

Asking for love and energy for the first seminar of SEED cohort 7 tonight 💚💚💚

We are looking to enroll new members into the 7th Cohort of Rock County SEED!!! 💚

What is SEED?

The National SEED Project on Inclusive Curriculum is a peer-led professional development program that promotes change through self-reflection and interpersonal dialogue, and builds capacity for more equitable curriculum, educational environments, and communities.

SEED seminars are facilitated by individuals who have been trained as SEED leaders and members who have participated in SEED in the past. SEED seminars are not set up in a lecture format. Instead, they lead colleagues in experiential, interactive activities and conversations often stimulated by films and readings. The monthly seminars deepen participants’ understanding of themselves, expand their knowledge of the world, and point the way to making more inclusive systems. In each seminar, SEED participants use their own experiences, systemic thinking and SEED scholarship to deepen school curricula, as well as engage community members in equitable and diverse systems. SEED values our voices so we can, in turn, better value the voices within our community.

We are looking to begin a new cohort! Learn why!

We are excited to announce that we are opening applications for a May 2023 - March 2024 Rock County SEED: Seeking Educational Equity and Diversity Cohort! Seminars will be held monthly in Beloit, and if you are a Rock County area resident, educator, community agency, or someone else interested in engaging in a 10 month cohort based opportunity in Personal and Professional Learning, please reach out to Jen Davis Paepke or Robin Pulliam Bye & Nailah Adama ASAP! Thanks!
