In sharing their knowledge and experiences, our guest speakers, Steve McCutchen and Saturu Ned, will lift up historical lessons of the OCS and guide participants in brainstorming ways to implement their learning with students today.

This is a free drop-in space for Black teachers and educators to come together in racial affinity, support one another and develop new tools and insights about creating liberated learning communities for our young scholars. The third session of this series takes place on Wednesday, February 17th at 5pm PT; 7pm CT; 8pm ET. Click here to register! (Sharing early because these sessions fill up QUICKLY)
