Karen GJ Lewis, NBCT, Scholarship Award
Karen GJ Lewis, a National Board Certified Teacher, was elected president of the Chicago Teachers Union in 2010 and, through her bold leadership, changed the narrative around public education in Chicago and the United States. During her tenure, the CTU created a model for union organizing and the fight for education justice and built strong and lasting relationships with parents and community organizations across the city. To honor Karen GJ Lewis’s immense contributions to labor, education, social justice, and community engagement, the Children & Teachers Foundation of the Chicago Teachers Union will award a $10,000 scholarship to promote and encourage the next generation of Black teachers in Chicago’s public education system.
