The Black Teacher Leadership and Sustainability Institute is an experiential institute providing ample opportunities for Black teachers to share, reflect and set intentions for how to lead from the classroom. Teachers will deepen their commitment, relationships and agency while developing strategies for leadership and sustainability. Participants will receive caring guidance and facilitation to collaboratively explore the personal and professional challenges they face as Black teachers in the United States.

Learn, examine and discover...

-the effects of racism and other bias on education policies and practices

-the implicit and explicit work of Black teachers in the United States

-individual and organizational dynamics that impede the development and sustainability of Black teachers

-concrete skills for health and wellness in challenging contexts

-the importance of emotional intelligence and wellness in being a Black teacher in schools

-research, tools and other resources to support the leadership and sustainability of Black teachers in an oppressive system


Who should attend?

Black teachers and educators working in public, charter, private and independent TK-12 schools who are able to attend the full institute. 

We encourage prospective attendees to reach out to principals/administration to request use of professional development funds to pay the registration fee. Many schools have professional develop funds available, but teachers are sometimes not aware of them or are hesitant to ask; we encourage you to advocate for yourself and your leadership development by learning your school's process of accessing funding. 

If you do not have access to professional development funding, SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE! We ask that you reach out to your school/organization about funding your registration before applying for a scholarship.  Please click here to access the scholarship application. The application will close on Friday, May 1st, 2020. We recommend you apply as soon as possible because funding is limited. Funding for Oakland-based teachers will be prioritized.
