The Anti-Racist Educator
Benson, Tracey A.; Fiarman, Sarah E.
Educational Leadership, v77 n1 p60-65 Sep 2019
Considering how common unconscious racial bias is, many teachers have likely at times sent subtle messages to students that white students are more capable or trustworthy than students of color--and new teachers need to be aware of the possibility of racial bias. School leaders can guide new teachers--and others--to be sensitive to biased actions that may harm students. In terms of becoming less biased, educators should adopt a "developmental mindset"--realize that being anti-racist isn't a fixed trait, but one that can be built over time. Educators also must learn to have brave conversations about race and bias with colleagues.
