Racial Equity Professional Learning Community

“I celebrate teaching that enables transgressions - a movement against and beyond boundaries. It is that movement that makes education the practice of freedom.” - bell hooks

You feel it in your spirit.  You know that education can be different, should be different.  You’re ready to transform your teaching approach and use education as a tool for liberation.

The Racial Equity Professional Learning Community (PLC)

is an opportunity for educators to deepen their racial equity analysis in relationship with other teachers who are ready to examine the field of education from a Black queer feminist lens.

The Racial Equity PLC is designed for classroom educators and school administrators who want to explore bigger questions in their field:

  • What is the purpose of education?

  • What does it mean for education to be a tool for liberation?

Each offering of the Racial Equity PLC centers on a key text. The key text for our past offering was Teaching to Transgress by bell hooks.

Logistics

Participants receive:

  • Access to virtual monthly discussion groups (all sessions will be recorded)

  • Discussion prompts and strategies to lead similar conversations in your school or organization

  • A 6-hr Certificate of Completion documenting participation in this PLC

    The key text must be purchased separately

 

Pricing

We offer 3 tiers of pricing in an attempt to address inequitable systemic access to financial resources.

$150 - BIPOC/LGBTQ+ Pricing

This option is available for educators who identify as Black, Indigenous or People of Color and/or LGBTQ+.

$265 - Sustainer Pricing

This option reflects the true cost of running this program and ensures that we can fairly compensate facilitators

$365 - Community Builder Pricing

This option is for those who would like to pay for their own participation and provide funds to help us continue to offer reduced-price seats for those who need them.
