About Black Educator Healing Convening | March 21-22 | Los Angeles, CA
An opportunity for Black educators to expand and deepen commitments and practices that support their healing and well-being.
Offering Description
The Black Teacher Project is dedicated to supporting Black teachers in creating communities of liberated learning. We believe that the wellness of Black educators 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.
Collective Liberation in Action: A Black Educator Healing Convening is hosted in partnership with Liberated Educators Lab and Black Educator Advocates Network. This event 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.
Participants will:
Share time and space for connection, collective healing, and community building with other Black educators.
Engage in wellness practices that support an embodiment of self-love, soulfulness, healing, and agency.
Explore affirming approaches to health and well-being that are centered in Black identity development.
Learn about frameworks and tools that support practices for healing and thriving.
Experience an increased sense of possibility, creativity, and agency to transcend constraints and limitations.
Deepen understanding about the relationship between adult wellness and teaching.
Learn advocacy approaches and how organizing and advocacy connect to healing.

The Black Teacher Project’s (BTP) mission is to sustain and develop Black teachers to lead and reimagine schools as communities of liberated learning. Black teachers navigate an ecosystem of push out factors, including: invisible racialized role expectations that are uncompensated; lack of leadership opportunities & culturally responsive professional development; difficulty navigating inequitable and anti-Black systems; racial micro and macro aggressions; isolation; and health & safety challenges. BTP’s core services provide professional development in racial affinity that aim to equip participants with the knowledge, tools, conditions, and sources of rejuvenation needed to reimagine our schools and systems. We also offer workshops and consulting to support school, district, and systems leaders in recruiting, developing, and retaining Black teachers.
