Teacher Cohort
Thank you to all Who Applied!
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.

"I feel like I used a lot of the resources, but for me the biggest change in my teaching was going from trying to show diversity to actually having a conversation about shared power."
"In my space, it was about affirming their identity and their natural born features. We talked a lot about skin color, a little about hair but we want to talk about more.African American life and culture."
"At the beginning of the year, we were intentional about ordering multicultural crayons."
