Chapter assets include:
Compelling research to support why it’s urgent we embrace foundational fairness—and why even subtle words can have massive effects on students’ sense of potentialQuestions and prompts that help you build inclusive thinking into your expectations of students, your feedback, grading, and approaches to disciplineActivities, discussion frames, and debate structures that support students’ exploration of complex topicsIdeas for engaging staff, leadership, family, and the community in ways that reveal strengthSocial justice work is not “other;” it’s not extra. It’s student agency work. It’s what keeps so many of us educators up at night, worried about why some of our learners aren’t engaged. With this book, they will be engaged, because they will know you believe in their abilities, and now know how to show that every day.
