Teachers
RPIA connects rock star teachers from across schools to create a transformative teacher learning space that empowers teachers to empower their students. We tackle systemic problems rooted in the toxic message that low-income students of color are meant to be kept under control: actively disrupting that system and restoring all that can be with students takes work. We seek out teachers with the qualities we believe are necessary to carry out this complex work and rebuild power with students.
