Are educators at your school or district looking for meaningful professional development and a supportive learning community?
Form a Teaching for Black Lives study group in your school, district, or statewide! You’ll receive support, resources, and encouragement to teach young people honestly about systemic racism and how to organize for justice. Educators report that the study groups not only deepen their knowledge and improve their practice — they also increase their resolve to continue teaching honestly. And they provide a community of accountability and mutual support.
Every group receives:
- Teaching for Black Lives book copies
- Rethinking Schools subscriptions
- Study guides
- Access to a network of social justice educators
- and more!
Here are a few comments from past participants:
This Teaching for Black Lives study group is a place of refuge and also a source of strength to fight back.
Having a space where a group of us dedicate time and energy to tending our anti-racist and anti-bias muscles in service of our students and families, ourselves and our communities, is life-sustaining work! It’s one of the most meaningful parts of my work.
This Teaching for Black Lives book study was an important entry point to starting difficult conversations when facing the realities of our students. We read, we learned, we confronted realities, we identified barriers, and we brought our learnings together to develop solutions we could implement at our school.
These study groups are a project of the Zinn Education Project, coordinated by Rethinking Schools and Teaching for Change.
