Anti-Oppressive Education in "Elite" Schools is here!

We wrote about this last spring, but wanted to share that Anti-Oppressive Education in Elite Schools: Promising Practices and Cautionary Tales From the Field is out (Nina received her copy!). We co-authored a chapter and it’s very exciting to see our words in print.

You can read more about the book and enjoy some excerpts (including our chapter and an interview with us) here. We’ve been lucky enough to work with Katy Swalwell in the past and Gabby knows Ayo Magwood who we hope to collaborate with in the future. They are both doing really important work and are definitely worth following, but really the whole book has so much to offer. Please let us know what you think!

Creating Monuments of Our Classroom Rules After Charlottesville Published by Teaching for Change

Gabby's post, Creating Monuments of Our Classroom Rules After Charlottesville, was published on the Teaching for Change website! It details what we did next after writing postcards for Charlottesville and how we eventually developed our class "contract" or rules. Please read and let us know what you think!

The Message We Send When We Try Not to Talk About Race

We submitted a piece about an experience from our classroom to Embrace Race, a multiracial community of people supporting each other to help nurture kids who are thoughtful and informed about race. It was published recently!  Please read The Message We Send When We Try Not to Talk About Race and let us know what you think.
