Participants in Learning for Justice Virtual Professional Learning Cohorts (PLCs) engage in six months of learning with educators across the United States who are committed to creating inclusive, liberatory and just educational experiences for young people. Virtual Cohorts provide educators, free of charge, the chance to deeply engage with LFJ materials, collaborate with small groups of other educators from across the country and gain insights and feedback on implementation.
After six months of learning in community, including seven synchronous sessions via Zoom, educators will present their implementation plans at a virtual Showcase.
The 2023-2024 Virtual PLCs will focus on the following LFJ resources:
- Critical Practices for Social Justice Education
- For information about Critical Practices cohorts, including schedules and requirements, view the syllabus here.
