The CABSC Teacher Fellows Program brings together a dedicated cohort of high school educators committed to advancing Black Studies education in California. Fellows engage deeply with curriculum frameworks, culturally responsive pedagogy, and practice-based learning while piloting California-focused Black Studies modules in their classrooms.
The program draws on Dr. LaGarrett J. King’s Teaching Black History Framework and the work of the California Reparations Task Force to ensure that students gain a comprehensive understanding of Black history, social justice, and civic engagement.
Through the CABSC Teacher Fellows Program, educators will:
-
Pilot interdisciplinary Black Studies curriculum modules in their classrooms
-
Participate in workshops on culturally responsive teaching and curriculum development
-
Reflect on teaching practices, student learning, and personal growth
-
Contribute to a growing community of educators shaping the future of Black Studies in California
-
Receive a $1,000 stipend and optional continuing education credit
