The Institute for Teachers of Color Committed to Racial Justice (ITOC) seeks teacher leaders, community partners, teacher educators, and scholars who self-identify as people of Color to facilitate racial justice-focused workshops for teachers of Color with advanced racial analysis. The goal of these workshops is to deepen their critical literacies and to support their transformative work in classrooms, schools, and communities.

- Transforming and reimagining classrooms (i.e., Ethnic Studies, critical pedagogy, abolitionist teaching, YPAR, restorative or transformative justice)
- Sustaining justice-oriented teacher leaders in the classroom (i.e., healing and wellness, self and community care, critical teacher development, racial justice teacher leadership, teacher organizing, etc.)
