Having experienced and navigated anti-Blackness as students and adults, Black teachers bring a unique and essential perspective. This insight is crucial for abolishing oppressive school policies and transforming schools into liberated learning communities where all students can thrive and belong. This year’s Black Teacher Design Lab invites TK-12 BlackTeachers to fold their unique perspectives and lived experiences into a collective reimagining of school, guided by liberatory design practices rooted in love. Apply by Friday, September 13 for a chance to participate in the Black Teacher Design Lab and take part in the virtual, six-session learning design and professional development opportunity!
