Teachers as Advocates!
Teachers have the relationship capital, skills and “in-the-moment” insight to take advantage of teachable moments and create teachable opportunities in their classrooms.
Teachers also have an unequalled opportunity to address social disparities and injustices in their classrooms and school halls, as they arise… and we see them doing so, all the time.
That’s why we love working with teachers so much.
Now, we are looking for teachers who care so passionately about promoting respect for diversity that they want become Diversity Advocates in their schools.
