2. Welcome Andrea Dawn Short to the Curriculum Project
We are excited to announce that Andrea Dawn Short (Education Specialist, PhD ABD) is joining our project team! Her focus areas include Curriculum Design & Assessment, Social Studies & Humanities, and Supporting Diverse Learners.
“I’m currently ABD in Curriculum & Instruction, and my dissertation focuses on historical empathy . My theory is that starting with a single human story—rather than dates or battles—makes history less abstract. When students connect empathically with one person’s raw emotions, they naturally become more curious about the broader social and political forces that shaped that person’s world. Your project sounds amazing, and I would love to contribute—especially with curriculum design given my PhD focus. “
Read the Full Meeting Report: You can view the notes from our recent onboarding and strategy alignment meeting here. Summary: Edwin and Andrea reconnected to discuss the growth of the center into a 501(c)(3) organization. They explored how the upcoming four-week facilitator training (starting July 25th) combines experiential skills-building with didactic knowledge, and how the project might integrate neuroscience and formal curriculum design.
