ITOC WORKSHOP PROPOSALS CALL
The Institute for Teachers of Color Committed to Racial Justice (ITOC) seeks teacher leaders, community partners, and teacher educators who self-identify as people of Color to facilitate advanced racial justice-focused workshops that can deepen the racial literacy of teachers of Color and support their transformative work in classrooms and schools. We are specifically interested in workshops that bridge theory to practice, are interactive and engaging, and offer participants concrete strategies for racial justice leadership in K-12 education.
We welcome proposals that address a variety of critical topics, with particular interest in those that focus on:
- Strengthening teachers critical consciousness and racial literacy (i.e. addressing the complexities of intersectional oppression, antI-Blackness, white supremacy, misogyny, islamaphobia within communities of Color)
- Supporting marginalized students (i.e. supporting students who are undocumented, labeled with a disability, criminalized and overdisciplined)
- Reimagining classrooms (i.e. Ethnic Studies, critical pedagogy, YPAR, restorative or transformative justice)
- Sustaining justice-oriented teacher leaders in the classroom (i.e. critical teacher development, racial justice teacher leadership, teacher organizing, community engagement, self and community care)
