"Because there is a dearth of teachers of color in the field, the teachers of color who are there bear a disproportionate burden."
This virtual resource group explore how race impacts teacher of color in their lives and work. The group provides the opportunity to connect with likeminded professionals who share common experiences as well as a commitment to racial equity and justice. Through this forum, educators of color find support from and connection with other educators who share their passions, as well as their challenges.
Our monthly conversations and accompanying resources offer ongoing encouragement designed to support and reinforce the work we do. We share stories, experiences, ideas, and successes in a live online forum.
We will meet on the following dates:
