Learning to Relearn
Learning to Relearn challenges educators to embark on a transformative journey to creating classrooms that embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion. Rooted in the principles of anti-bias, anti-racist (ABAR) education, it is a roadmap to dismantle systemic biases and foster inclusive spaces that honor intersectional student identities.
Shaping the Teacher Identity
In the world of education, the most effective educators pride themselves on their special ability to positively impact the impressionable minds of their students. They are able to justify their effectiveness through their students' standardized test scores and other forms of data. Indeed, these are legitimate ways to measure a teacher's effectiveness in the classroom but they don't tell the full story. There is something to be said about the specific attributes a teacher possesses in order to be effective in the classroom. What are those intangible qualities that define the success of that teacher? The response to that question will consequently lead to an even deeper question -- how did tha...

Reading, Writing, and Racism
An examination of how curriculum choices can perpetuate White supremacy, and radical strategies for how schools and teacher education programs can disrupt and transform racism in education When racist curriculum “goes viral” on social media, it is typically dismissed as an isolated incident from a “bad” teacher. Educator Bree Picower, however, holds that racist curriculum isn’t an anomaly. It’s a systemic problem that reflects how Whiteness is embedded and reproduced in education. In Reading, Writing, and Racism, Picower argues that White teachers must reframe their understanding about race in order to advance racial justice and that this must begin in teacher education programs....
