Cultivate Empathy.
Meet students at their core.
What is LensDeck?
LensDeck is a professional development tool for educators designed to help cultivate empathy. Each deck encourages educators to get curious about the backgrounds, cultures, and lived experiences of their students through the creation of student personas.
What people are saying.
“The deck helped me start to empathize with the experiences that my students have on a daily basis, and realize how I conduct class can profoundly improve or deter their experiences. I began to understand how complex my role as a teacher can be when factoring in many different students with many different assets and needs.”
— Sachin, High School Math Teacher, Illinois
“LensDeck is a perfect way to collaborate and talk about the hardest parts of our job as educators—intervention, differentiation, and accommodations—in a collaborative, low-risk environment.”
— Lisa, Instructional Coach, Illinois
“The cards allow for both staff members and students to discuss and raise racial consciousness because it's a visual tool. If we do not explore personal bias with students, we are not going to change the culture of a school. This has to also be in the hands of our students.”
— Julia, High School English Teacher, Illinois
