It is doable and possible.
In order to have a positive and inclusive culture, each person needs to understand how these identities impact even the smallest of decisions as individuals.

Racialtude™ for K-12 Schools
Teaching Humans Not Academic subjects
A teacher who ignores the saliency of race in this country and it’s impact in the classroom does a disservice to the students and their families.
Children are humans who do not deserve to have their identities and experiences ignored for the sake of a teacher’s comfort.
Teaching requires bravery and willingness to challenge and confront themselves in order to powerfully lead children and facilitate their educational growth.
The more intentional a teacher is in continuing to grow and expand her/his Racialtude™, the more comfortable and effective she/he will be in connecting with students and families across race.
Children as young a 3-6 years old begin to perceive and develop an awareness of race. It’s not just from home or school. Children receive messages from racial attitudes embedded in society. After all, we are social beings.
