Aurora Kushner is the Director of Impact and Continuous Improvement at NYC Outward Bound Schools and leads the Crew Initiative. Prior to this role, she was an Instructional and Leadership Coach for 10 years, also at NYC Outward Bound Schools. Before coming to NYC, she taught high school and was a founding faculty member of a secondary school in Massachusetts. She is particularly excited about the intersection of deeper learning, equity and continuous improvement – and how schools can create the conditions for all students to feel a sense of belonging, agency and engagement.
