Today, more than ever, schools must be prepared to meet the varying educational, social, and emotional needs of all children. The U.S. population will be considerably more racially, ethnically and physically diverse by 2060, according to projections released by the U.S. Census Bureau. Therefore, it is absolutely essential that our educational resources and practices reflect the changing makeup of our classrooms to ensure that students feel welcomed and supported regardless of their race or culture. In this course, you will thoroughly explore white privilege, implicit bias, and equity through research, and courageous online discussions moving your educational practice towards that of an antiracist. This course focuses on leveraging your classroom library to help foster a foundation for developing an antiracist climate in your classroom through intentional conversations and exposure to diverse literature representations.
Participants will also explore how to also evaluate and select the best multicultural literature when building classroom libraries while learning how to approach the conversation of race developmentally in grades K-12.
