LSJTRG Home

The Literacy for Social Justice Teacher Research Group is a grassroots,
teacher-led professional development group located in St. Louis, MO. We believe that educators are public intellectuals who gain strength and wisdom through working with other educators, parents, and community members. Our mission is to develop and support socially just, equitable and sustainable practices in schools and communities. We are committed to connecting educators across the lifespan and building networks to mobilize resources to promote progressive change.

NEW! Inquiry to Action Groups (ItAGs)
ItAGs are small groups of educators, parents, activists, artists and community members who come together around a common theme or topic to dialogue, share experiences and build actions toward social justice.
