We’re happy to help with accessibility needs, group registration, and anything else.
The Convening is a BIPOC-centered gathering for educators who are passionate about building and sustaining liberatory practices in education. It’s open to BIPOC educators (teachers, school and district leaders, university faculty, paraeducators, and more) and white ally leaders. This year’s theme is “Humanizing Education,” and we’re welcoming Dr. Shamari Reid, author of Humans Who Teach, along with workshop presenters. Come for the learning, the community, and great food.
What does BIPOC-centered mean? BIPOC voices and lived experiences from across education guide the content and the community norms of the day. White allies are welcome to join as learners and are asked to listen, reflect, and take what they learn back into their own spheres of influence.
