Teacher Cohort

The P.R.I.D.E. Teacher Cohort is a forum for exploring, sharing, and utilizing information and resources that will enable teachers to support young children’s positive racial identity development. It’s an exciting experience that gives teachers and caregivers the opportunity to discover and grow together as part of a tightly knit group dedicate to learning about and understanding how race impacts young children.

Over the course of nine months, educators will be given the opportunity to: attend P.R.I.D.E. Speaker Series events and follow-up learning sessions; participate in eight in-person monthly sesssions led by the P.R.I.D.E. team to learn how to implement inclusive teaching strategies; and develop theme-based ideas, activities and experiences to apply in the classroom and share with other cohort members.
