EDUCATOR AND ARTIST IN SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA

Christina Meilene Jenkins




I’m an educator and artist whose medium is school.


I work with teachers to create the conditions for deeper learning, civic engagement and creative practice. I lead field trips for adults to reignite their relationship with learning, write curriculum that engages the public, and design professional learning experiences that are intellectually - and creatively - rigorous.  

I taught for a decade in New York City public schools, where I led a classroom that sparked curiosity and launched civic projects. After returning home to California, I was the program director at Girls Garage and a partner at Transcend, where I supported educators across the country with designing transformative schools. I have degrees from UCLA (history, urban studies), Parsons (design and technology), and Pace University (teaching).
 
I live in Sacramento on the same street where I grew up. I’m a writer and printmaker, a parent to two toddlers and partner to Dylan, I’m committed to neighboring as a verb.
