From Reflections to Actions: How Anti-Racist Teacher Leaders are Doing the Work

Friday July 31, 2026 9:00am - 10:15am EDT

This session shares a year-long, teacher-led anti-racist community of study where educators engaged in reflection, dialogue, and action to confront inequities in their practice. Participants will explore structures that support sustained learning and activism and leave with practical tools to build similar communities, fostering equitable classrooms where all students feel valued, supported, and meaningfully engaged in literacy learning.
