About Us

We bring an asset-based approach to each partnership with the goal of ensuring that all students engage in liberated learning – learning that is not only academically rigorous, but also affirms student identity, prepares students socially and emotionally, and creates meaningful opportunities for students to explore their interests and shape their communities.

We believe that
Students deserve liberated learning experiences

Our mission
To engage students in liberated learning that draws on the assets and uniqueness of each school community
We want to fundamentally change the way leaders engage school communities to reimagine and implement liberated student learning experiences.
How it all Started
LiberatED Way emerged from Academy for Urban School Leadership’s learnings from over 15 years of transforming neighborhood public schools in Chicago. Our work began as a pilot within the AUSL network to embrace innovation in school improvement.
How We Developed
We have leveraged our learning to develop our LiberatED Way model, a school revitalization partnership approach tailored by and for each school community. Our LiberatED Way team serves as a strategic partner to schools and districts nationally who believe in the power and potential of a community-driven approach to school improvement.
