Erin Bray

Teacher Delight Specialist and Lead coach for Student INNOVATION teams

Erin Bray is a walking design education dynamo.  After 10 years as a public high school language arts teacher, she understands that teachers are our most critical asset in the education eco-system—and that growing their practice using design methods can support a culture of innovation on their campus. 

Launching the “Teachers are Designers” campaign, and leading all of Construct’s teacher and student facing workshops, Erin is inspiring a growing community of both students and educators, eager collaborators to her enthusiasm in building student-led learning experiences that prepare every young person for success in our rapidly changing world.  

A dynamic curriculum and experience designer, Erin applies her expertise with a deeply-held mission to elevate voices from a multitude of intersectional identities across the education landscape. 

Since joining Construct, she has co-created and facilitated Student led design challenges for hundreds of young people, investigating system-wide questions such as the Future of Learning and the Future of Health and Wellness; collaborating with partners including College Possible; Oregon Business Council and Oregon Learns; Concordia Univ; Providence Medical Group/Basecamp; the K-12 students from KairosPDX; Prescott Elementary; David Douglas, Parkrose and Reynolds HS; Cedarwood Waldorf; and Catlin Gabel. Erin has worked with dozens of educators across Oregon to build their creative confidence and encourage their exploration in innovation and design. Erin holds a BA and teaching certificate from Whitman College and a Masters in curriculum & instruction from PSU.
