Choosing to See the Racial Stress That Afflicts Our Black Students
Anderson, Riana Elyse; Saleem, Farzana T.; Huguley, James P.
Phi Delta Kappan, v101 n3 p20-25 Nov 2019
Racial stress and trauma negatively impact the psychological and academic outcomes of Black youth. Riana Elyse Anderson, Farzana Saleem, and James Huguley encourage parents and teachers to explore racial experiences and resulting stress and trauma through racial socialization, or competent conversations and behaviors regarding race and racism, to reduce problematic outcomes. They highlight opportunities for schools, teachers, and families to: 1) create a racial climate at school that affirms discussions about race, racial identity, racism, and coping options; 2) increase teacher training to foster competent classroom practices; and 3) foster safe and supported opportunities for growth for all, including teachers, parents, and students.
