Synopsis

Brimming with reflection and resources, this book is ideal for white elementary teachers who wish to host conversations about race with their predominantly white classes.

This book is a clear-cut guide for integrating antiracism into teaching and education, along with policy reform needed for systemic change. Providing hands-on experience and practical insights from literature, it breaks down subject-specific strategies to approach racial conversations. The book acknowledges the variety of challenges that teachers face and encourages them to continue self-work as a step towards supporting students.

While specifically targeting all-white and predominantly white classrooms, this resource is suitable for additional professional development and educator preparation programs when considering a variety of racial dynamics.
