Deadline Extended: OCT. 15
Do you teach history or social studies? Are you part of a homeschool group? Do you plan to teach when you finish college? Are you passionate about Black histories and lives? Then Teaching for Black Lives is for you!
United Women of Color (UWOC) has been recognized as a teaching group for 2025-2027 for Teaching for Black Lives, a campaign led by the Zinn Education Project. This study group provides teachers support, resources, and encouragement to teach young people honestly about systemic racism and how to organize for justice. Through classes, study groups, workshops, and free curriculum and resources, educators can join a national network of teachers, school librarians, counselors, administrators, and school staff who are defying efforts to ban what students can learn in school by vowing to teach for Black lives.
This study group is limited to 20 participants. To be considered for this group, please complete this form. The deadline has been extended to October 15. Stephanie Gilmore, Policy and Education Coordinator for UWOC, will be in touch to let you know if you've been accepted into the group. The group will meet both virtually and in person over the 2025-26 school year.
