A major challenge in education is how to get all learners to proficiency on grade level standards. We see overall achievement gaps between racial, ethnic, and income groups. When we look closely at individual students, we see gaps in their knowledge. Our current circumstances due to COVID have the potential to lead to learning losses that will widen these learning gaps. This panel will seek to identify ways we can seek to close these gaps.

At the Black Teacher Project, we believe that honoring the wisdom of the past is necessary in creating a liberated future. Thus, we were thrilled to have the pleasure of hosting this event where Black teachers and educators came together to learn from the goals and outcomes of the legendary Black Panthers' Oakland Community School (OCS). In sharing their knowledge and experiences, our speakers lifted up the historical lessons of the OCS and guided participants in brainstorming ways to implement their learning in the upcoming school year.
