2022 is going to be the year I throw ” all I got” at the racism piece in our field. If we don’t start teaching in a way that actively includes brown and black kids, and if we don’t develop and use a curriculum that brings an even playing field, then what are we doing?
Right now we’re ineffective, just as we always have been. That’s no indictment of us as racists, certainly. But are we doing all we can? I don’t think so. It’s just that we don’t know what to do.
I see the lack of an inclusive curriculum that is at fault here. We need a new curriculum that actually addresses the racism piece.
