4 ways to have healthy conversations about race

I regularly update this Padlet with recommended books, blog posts, best practices and professional learning opportunities.

I send out a monthly newsletter that includes resources, updates, recommendations and calls to action.

Racialization has harmed all of us. This book takes a look at the historical and current impact of "zero-sum mindset" when it comes to societal systems and offers an invitation into what the author calls the "solidarity dividend." I would also recommend the young readers adaptation for students.

This book offers an invitation to the healthy soil needed to cultivate an anti-bias, anti-racism growth journey, leading readers away from fruitless performative actions to genuine transformation. This book will equip pre-service and in-service K-12 educators, as well as all adults who care for children, with the tools to overcome the negative impact of racialization and work together to develop and sustain the learning spaces and experiences our children deserve.

Race is a harmful social construct, and we have all been racialized, so it's imperative that we have resources to help us identify and heal from the impact of racialization individually and collectively. This book offer reflective tools to help us do just that.

Considering that the majority of teachers in the United States identify as white, it's vital to have resources that help to understand how we develop racially, analyze the impact of racialized ideas and learn the skills needed to develop antiracist practices.

This handbook offers reflective opportunities where readers can understand the root causes of racism and be equipped with the skills to shift perspectives and take action to help move our society toward wholeness.
