BIPOC Educator Institute: Navigating & Thriving

This professional development experience is intentionally designed to center the experiences, impacts and perspectives of educators and community members who live in socially constructed identities as Black, Indigenous and Persons of Color (BIPOC).  

This work will be grounded in liberatory education which prioritizes “individual and collective human potential and promise,” (Raphael Randall, 2018) through the lenses of resistance, resilience, and reimagination. Participants will gain support in sustaining themselves and thriving as educators.

Participants will spend time reading, reflecting, and renewing both personally and professionally while learning from diverse community members and scholars about narratives and approaches that focus on historically impactful movements and current efforts to support the success of BIPOC students in a variety of educational settings. 

Deadline to register is June 1, 2023
