Calling all educators of color across NC! Join us again for our fifth annual Summit taking place in-person in Charlotte.
About this Event

The lessons of the past not only sustain us, they guide us.

Get your early-bird tickets today for our annual in-person celebration of the spirit of teaching in color!

Back for the fifth year, under the theme Sankofa: Looking Back to the Future, we're honoring the legacy of educators of color from the past while harnessing the power of today to envision a bold new vision for tomorrow.

The 2026 #TeachingInColor Summit includes a culture-rich, jam-packed day. We'll have a selection of panels and breakout sessions to help us boldly show up for our students and ourselves in these times. Our annual Research Symposium and Educators of the Year Awards are also on the agenda.

General Admission includes access to the full-day agenda including breakfast, sessions, a purpose-filled opening and closing, as well as our afternoon take-care sessions.
