Duke TeachHouse thrilled to invite all Durham Public Schools and Vance County Schools early career teachers to the upcoming UnConference on May 20th, 2021!

The UnConference is a new model that amplifies teachers’ power, autonomy, and voice by inviting teachers to determine discussion topics, facilitate conversations, and document actions to solve problems of practice. The model allows authentic conversations and community building across teachers working at different schools and in different content areas/grade levels. It is a unique model which recognizes the expertise and skills of educators and creates an inviting space for them to share and learn from their colleagues.

TeachHouse's pilot UnConference last fall was a huge success, and we are thrilled to have participants from DPS and Vance County join TeachHouse fellows in this spring event. Hear more about the power of the inaugural UnConference from keynote James Hopkins here: https://youtu.be/AlezXA5Oir8

Special shout out to Tyler Long ('21) and Raquel Butner ('21)-- thanks for sharing your experiences with the wider Duke community!

“It’s—it’s been rough,” Katrina Herrera said in late December 2020. It was the last week of the fall semester at East Garner Magnet Middle School, where Herrera teaches science. The Wake County, North Carolina, school had moved to remote learning, so Herrera taught virtually all year long....
