Our Teaching for Black Lives educator-led communities of study and reflection, launched in the fall of 2020, help provide that grounding.
Teaching for Black Lives study group members have told us that their groups are a source of strength, support, and guidance. “Having a national network of support and like-minded colleagues is a balm during these challenging times,” said one study group member. Another said: “Being in this group lit a fire of hope to keep me going.”
That is what communities of learning can provide: a fire of hope. Not a saccharine hope that delivers neither substance nor sustenance, but a hope rooted in shared commitments — to learn together, analyze together, organize together, and act together — for more justice in our classrooms and schools
