About
How do you ensure that no student is invisible in your classroom? How do you make the distinction between equity as the vehicle versus equity as the goal for each of your students? What measures do you take to ensure that you are growing as a culturally relevant practitioner? Can your students, particularly your Black students, articulate, beyond emotional reactions, the injustices that surround them?
The foregoing are not trick questions. Rather, they are those that best-selling author Baruti K. Kafele poses and on which he suggests you deeply, reflect as a teacher of Black students. The Equity & Social Justice Education 50 will help you understand the importance of having, an equity mindset, when teaching students generally and when teaching Black students in particular. It defines social justice education and sheds light on the issues and challenges that Black people face, as well as the successes they've achieved, providing you with a pathway to infusing social justice, education into your lesson plans. And, along the way, Kafele reveals personal experiences from his distant and recent pasts, to highlight how important it is, that your Black students see, themselves in all aspects of education every day.
You, the teacher, play a critical role in your students' success. The questions that Kafele asks in this book will, help enhance your own understanding of race, systemic racism, and racial justice and guide you in developing strategies and lessons that speak to Black students, in ways that truly support their achievement.
