Students bring their unique collection of experiences and identities to the classroom and require a safe, supportive environment in which to learn. Identity safe teaching is a widely known, evidence-based approach where student identities are validated and valued in a welcoming environment that counteracts the negative impacts of oppression, especially the harm resulting from stereotype threat and implicit bias. In this book, Becki Cohn-Vargas and Debbie Zacarian explain how educators can create identity safe classrooms and schools, as well as how to collaborate with families to extend identity safety to the home. Each chapter covers a core practice of identity safe classrooms, explains how to extend those practices schoolwide, and discusses how to share these practices with families to implement at home"--
