About

About The Convening

The Black Teacher Project is dedicated to supporting Black teachers in creating communities of liberated learning. We believe that the wellness of Black teachers is an essential priority as we work collaboratively towards reimagining our school environments into places that enable students to manifest their full potentials. Now, more than ever, it is important to provide our teachers with practical tools, approaches, and support spaces that center our collective healing and humanity. As Black teachers and educators, our communities need our leadership, which requires us to be a demonstration of the wholeness that is ours by birthright.

Our Black Teacher Wellness Convening is a 2-day opportunity to be immersed in a cocoon of Black love where participants will reconnect to ancestral wisdom and their humanity as Black educators and leaders. By trying on mindsets and practices that cultivate and enrich their thriving inside and outside of schools, attendees will build capacity for continuing Black educators’ legacy of taking action towards a liberated future.

Please note that this is not a racial affinity event; it is OPEN TO ALL racial identities.

What Participants Are Saying

“I really appreciated our session today and the resources shared. I really want to spend more dedicated with thinking through sustaining and retaining the black teachers we have.”

“It was such a warm and enlightening morning. I really appreciated the tone throughout the workshop, educational, respectful, and joyful. Some big takeaways for me are to first, read more... The articles you sent over were so helpful and that's such a quick and simple ask for the hiring team and our team of educators. Second, I have a number of next steps around how we interview/ wording of our interviews I can't wait to implement.”

“Loved the abundance of resources readily available, incredibly helpful. The speakers are awesome and I love the connection to your personal experiences in education and/or your work with NEP. I'm usually not a fan of the consultancy protocol but it worked so well today and I'm thankful to have gone through that with some awesome people.”

  • Because our trainings include attention to building a learning community and interaction with other folks in small groups, we encourage full participation for the duration of the training.

We hope participants can fully engage during sessions, but support participants to attend to their own unique needs.
