Unteach Racism Learning Modules
Unteach Racism offers a series of professional learning modules designed to support safe, strengths-based reflection on identity, bias, and systemic racism. Each module builds understanding and confidence, helping kaiako turn reflection into meaningful action.
New Unteach Racism learning modules will be launched in February 2026. If you’d like early access to explore the modules and share feedback, please contact us at letstalk@teachingcouncil.nz
