Reimagining Education: Teaching, Learning and Leading for a Racially Just Society

The on-going political assault on teaching about race and gender identity in our schools has coincided with an onslaught of post-pandemic critiques of teachers and an attack on education as a profession. We find ourselves at a moment when a collective response to this unwarranted condemnation is needed now more than ever. Such a response must be grounded in the professional knowledge of our field and what we know to be, as Gloria Ladson-Billings tells us, “just good teaching”.

For the last seven years, educators seeking a supportive community where they can develop their student-centered, culturally responsive, antiracist teaching skills and leadership strategies – just good teaching – have turned to Teachers College, Columbia University every July for the Reimagining Education: Teaching, Learning and Leading Summer Institute, lovingly known as “RESI.” Since 2016, RESI has drawn thousands of educators from across the country and globe. Each of these RESI alums takes resources and pedagogical strategies back to their classroom, schools, and communities to have a positive impact on all their students, but particularly their students of color.

Thus, our central theme for RESI 2023 will be: “Anti-racist Education: It’s Just Good Teaching.” Join us to:

• learn, share and become emboldened
• be validated for your efforts to address racial injustice through pedagogical strategies
• be embraced by a community of professionals educating students for a multi-racial democracy
• earn Professional Development credits in CEUs, Clock Hours, or CTLEs for NY state

Register for RESI 2023 this summer either in-person in NYC or virtually for four days of professional development that will enable you to not only become a better educator, but also a better advocate for your profession, your expertise, and your moral convictions to educate all of our students to their highest potential. Once again this July we will be tapping into the collective expertise of TC faculty on issues of race and education. Our programming will be brand new and cutting edge. RESI
