The Institute for Teachers of Color Committed to Racial Justice is an annual three-day conference to support the growth, success and retention of teachers of color who work in schools serving students of color. A unique collaboration between the College of Education and Ethnic Studies at San José State University (SJSU), this conference draws teachers from various school districts across the nation to San José, California each summer for racial justice professional development. Using a Critical Race Theory framework, the Institute is intended as a community building, professional development space for teachers of color to explore the racial climate of their schools, receive training to navigate these realities, and strategize how to create racially transformative classrooms and schools.
The institute seeks applications from teachers of color who:
• Are committed to racial justice
• Work at schools serving a significant population of students of color
• Want to build a like-minded community
Applications are due April 1, 2014
Accepted participants will be notified in late April
