Now, more than ever, it is critical to engage with and teach African American Studies to Washington students. 

The African American studies Professional Learning Community (PLC) is a supportive learning community—whether you are an experienced instructor, desire to integrate current coursework, or want additional resources in African American studies content.

This bi-weekly, three-month series will provide a collaborative space for educators from all grade levels and subject areas to explore inquiry-based, project-based, and place-based pedagogical approaches that improve instruction and deepen student engagement, foster critical thinking, and support equitable learning outcomes.

Educators will develop skills, with an emphasis on developing historical, literary, visual, and critical thinking skills.

For example:

• Centering your students in a vision and practice of African American Studies that focuses on strong inquiry, social and emotional connection, and interpreting the world around them
• Concrete strategies to navigate the current policy landscapes, while staying true to equity and excellence in education, and linking African American Studies into math, science, social studies, language arts, and other disciplines.
• A welcoming space with a network of like-minded educators committed to sustaining this work in classrooms statewide.

Primary Facilitators: Dr. W. Tali Hairston, Dr. Ayanna Gore, Derick Harris, other subject matter experts

Who should participate: Educators from all grade levels and subject areas who want to strengthen their instructional practice by integrating an African American Studies framework with an emphasis on inquiry-based, problem-based, and place-based strategies.

Class schedule: Six bi-weekly, 90 min online sessions beginning Mar 27, 2025

Clock Hours: Attendees can earn up to 9 Equity clock hours through participation.
