During our first round of work, we heard from countless stakeholders that they wanted a place where people committed to issues of equity could collaborate to generate new design strategies, equity initiatives, and feel a sense of belonging.

Now, we’re launching a community of practice to create that space. The community will include a cohort of edtech designers as well as a diverse group of stakeholders, including funders, students, educators, researchers, pedagogy experts, and education network and nonprofit leaders.

Beginning in March, this group will meet virtually once a month to address the challenges designers are facing related to product design and equity. Topics may include:

• incorporating student and educator voice in product design
• making products financially accessible to students who need them
• building a business case for creating more equitable products
• how to prioritize creating different equity-related product features
• culturally responsive and sustaining pedagogy
• and more.

We believe this community will provide a platform where folks committed to equity can escape from their silos — bridging the gap between different stakeholder groups, building connections across companies, and developing new strategies and initiatives.
