Hello!

 

Please join us on Monday, May 8th at 5-6pm PST for a Teachers of Color panel hosted by the Future Teachers of Color (FTOC) group at the University of Washington. Come learn from teachers of Color who are committed to educational justice and will share their experiences in the teaching profession, provide advice for future teachers, share their work in coalition building with students, families, and community members, and share the joys of teaching. Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, & Pacific Islander undergraduate students, graduate teacher-ed candidates, early-career teachers, and members of our broader BIPOC community in Seattle and beyond are welcome to join!
