Welcome to Building Anti-Racist White Educators. If this is your first time visiting us - welcome! Check out our Inquiry Series 3 for the 2020-2021 School Year, and subscribe to our mailing list to receive our discussion guides in your email every month.
We are pleased to introduce our new logo at the top of our site. It was designed by Brian Reddy, an artist and educator in Massachusetts. You can visit his website or Instagram to see more of his work.
Teaching Tolerance Grant
We are also pleased to announce that we received a grant from Teaching Tolerance (a project of the Southern Poverty Law Center) to deepen and expand our work. As a major component of this grant, we have established a formal accountability partnership with the Melanated Educators Collective to compensate Black educators to review our resources, provide guidance for our work, and co-facilitate our summer reading series. We are also looking forward to hosting our first national convening in Spring 2021, hopefully in-person in Philadelphia.

Everyone wants the best for their students.

As educators, we want to do our jobs well. We want to be fair, we want to promote safe communities, and we want to support all our students in every aspect of their lives.

We’ve created some tools to help you realize these goals that you already have.

White teachers, even those with experience and compassion, can unconsciously cause pain to students of color in their classrooms. We believe that through consistent study and reflection, we can slowly address our own unconscious biases and make changes so we can better support the academic, social and emotional well-being of our students of color.

We want YOU to be part of a decentralized inquiry series to support teachers to better explore their own biases and improve their own teaching practices.
​

This Reading and Inquiry Series provides a monthly set of tools for learning, introspection and having conversations about issues of racism in our schools, classrooms and communities. We hope that through regular reflection and conversation, you can get better at recognizing and resisting your biases and the impact they have on your students and colleagues of color.
