Seeking Educational Equity & Diversity (S.E.E.D.) is an annual project now in its twelfth year conducted in three locations: California, Minnesota, and New Jersey. Each summer, each SEED Leaders' Workshop puts 30 - 40 teachers and their stories at the center of a faculty-centered, faculty-development process which flows from five key ideas as they have been articulated by SEED co-directors, Peggy McIntosh and Emily Style: Unless we as teachers reopen our own backgrounds to look anew at how we were schooled to deal with diversity and connection, we will be unable to create school climates and curricula which more adequately help students to deal with diversity and connection.
