The groundbreaking book on race in schools that has become an essential handbook for teachers working to create antiracist classrooms In the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement and nationwide protests against police brutality, itâs never been more important for educators and parents to ensure theyâre cultivating antiracist learning environments. For years, teachers who recognized the importance of cultural responsiveness in the classroom have turned to Everyday Antiracism, the essential compendium of advice from some of Americaâs leading educators. Pathbreaking contributorsâamong them Beverly Daniel Tatum, Sonia Nieto, and Pedro Nogueraâdescribe concrete ways to analyze classroom interactions that may or may not be âracial,â deal with racial inequality and âdiversity,â and teach to high standards across racial lines. Topics range from using racial incidents as teachable moments and responding to the ân-wordâ to valuing studentsâ home worlds, dealing daily with achievement gaps, and helping parents fight ethnic and racial misconceptions about their children. Questions following each essay prompt readers to examine and discuss everyday issues of race and opportunity in their own classrooms and schools. Everyday Antiracism is an essential tool for all of the educators and parents who are determined to create not only more just classrooms, but also a more just world.
