As many of us begin a new year of teaching, we wanted to share some news and resources that might be helpful for you as you work with your students to move toward a more just world.

A New URC Professional Learning CommunityStarting in February 2022, we’re launching a professional learning community that will meet every two weeks to learn about the URC lessons, discuss implementation, and share our experiences running the lessons. We will be meeting on Fridays from 4:00 – 5:30 pm ET, starting February 4th. If you are interested and can commit to attending at least 6 of the 7 sessions, please sign up online.

*Its free.The only expectation is commitment to put in the time each week.
