2024 Institute for Teachers of Color Committed to Racial Justice (ITOC) Workshop Proposal

The Institute for Teachers of Color Committed to Racial Justice (ITOC) seeks teacher leaders, community partners, teacher educators, and scholars who self-identify as people of Color to facilitate racial justice-focused workshops for teachers of Color with advanced racial analysis.  The goal of these workshops is to deepen their critical literacies and to support their transformative work in classrooms, schools, and communities.  We are specifically interested in workshops that engage critical theories, are interactive and engaging, and offer participants concrete strategies to work towards racial justice 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, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, bans on Critical Race Theory, etc.)

  • Improving educational conditions for historically marginalized students and their communities (i.e., students who embody or are the intersections of multiple positionalities, such as ​undocumented students, emergent bilingual speakers, dis/abled students, students who are criminalized and overdisciplined, etc.)

  • Transforming and reimagining classrooms (i.e., Ethnic Studies, critical pedagogy, abolitionist teaching, YPAR, restorative or transformative justice)

  • Sustaining justice-oriented teacher leaders in the classroom (i.e., healing and wellness, self and community care, critical teacher development, racial justice teacher leadership, teacher organizing, etc.)

For questions about proposal topics or submissions, please email us at teachersofcolor@gmail.com. We appreciate your interest in submitting a workshop for the 2024 ITOC gathering. The last day to submit a workshop proposal is Monday, January 15, 2024.
