Working to hold myself accountable in learning and doing. What small steps am I taking everyday to ensure my teaching is anti-racist and abolitionist?

I feel like this summer has opened up my eyes and through discussion that my ignorance of racism and seeing the world through "rose colored glasses" has actually hindered my growth

I've read How to be an anti-racist, White Fragility, and So You Want to Talk About Race, and I follow many great educators and people of color on instagram now so that I get regular reminders as well as great teaching resources. Diversifying my classroom library has been a mission of mine for the past decade, and I love how many more great books are coming out and gaining awareness. I am personally and professionally working to be more aware of how much I talk and lead so I can become a better listener and learner.

I realize that I have often spoken out but that more recently I am tired and giving up and letting things pass.

On the journey!  I don't think it's a place we ever arrive to.  I will never completely be an anti-racist, but I am actively moving in that direction.  It's something we need to stay focused on and not think we've got it.

I started on this journey in fourth grade when I learned honest, straight-forward history.  This was in the early 70's in an all-white community.  It can happen

I have enjoyed continuing to learn and grow, especially with everything going on this summer being able to learn and grow with my own children and through their eyes.  It has really brought a new perspective to my own personal growth

I feel like this will be a journey that I continue to pursue forever.  My family is multi-racial.  I have spent parts of my life living and teaching in various countries around the world.  Although I strive to always celebrate culture and diversity, I am continually unpacking implicit biases that I have and finding the courage to address racism that surfaces in day to day life. During this pd session I have ordered three books you have highlighted. I am very passionate about all of this.

My challenge for myself this year is to increase my expectations of rigor for students of color as well as provide them with more leadership opportunities. I realize that often the compliant, white girls are set up as leaders in my class and I need to change that.

I have started the journey, but I haven't done enough to keep moving forward along it. There are so many great books and resources out there to help me along, but I haven't really dived into those. I have had a lot of conversations, but I need to do more self work.

Members of our school read "Me and White Supremacy" this summer and tried to unpack our implicit biases.  I am still working on this stage, while also moving towards making conscious change in the classroom.

I would say I am in the middle of my journey. I have done some big work this summer. I also know it is life long.
