Product Description
Leading experts offer concrete and realistic strategies for dealing with race in schools in a groundbreaking book that should become required reading for every teacher in the country.

Which acts by educators are "racist" and which are "antiracist"? How can an educator constructively discuss complex issues of race with students and colleagues? In Everyday Antiracism leading educators deal with the most challenging questions about race in school, offering invaluable and effective advice.

Contributors including Beverly Daniel Tatum, Sonia Nieto, and Pedro Noguera describe concrete ways to analyze classroom interactions that may or may not be "racial," deal with racial inequality and "diversity," and teach to high standards across racial lines. Topics range from using racial incidents as teachable moments and responding to the "n-word" to valuing students' home worlds, dealing daily with achievement gaps, and helping parents fight ethnic and racial misconceptions about their children. Questions following each essay prompt readers to examine and discuss everyday issues of race and opportunity in their own classrooms and schools.

For educators and parents determined to move beyond frustrations about race, Everyday Antiracism is an essential tool.

An Educator's Endorsement, 2008-10-05
"Getting Real About Race in School" is indeed necessary. In a post-civil rights era in which the continued relevance of race is denied, Everyday Antiracism illuminates the invisible ways that race continues to impact the lives of those individuals that merge within educational institutions. The four principles and practical strategies presented throughout the text offer educators tools that they can utilize daily in order to ensure that racial consciousness informs their instruction, assessment, and behavioral intervention.
