Aprašymas

Dismantling Racism Starts with You

School leaders, in partnership with educators, students, parents, and the community,

have remarkable potential to change the narrative so that all students, regardless of

race, can feel seen, empowered, and engaged in their learning communities. Through

the lens and actions of antiracism, Change the Narrative provides a pathway for school

administrators, leaders, and change agents who want to put into action the values of

antiracism in their school community every day.

Henry J. Turner and Kathy Lopes, a high school principal and a director of Diversity,

Equity, and Inclusion for Newton Public Schools in Massachusetts, weave their

professional experiences and their personal stories to connect the reader to the

importance of the consistent routines, ongoing learning, and structural changes that will

help foster an antiracist school culture.

Full of practical and effective strategies, this book is for those who have been

fighting for equity their entire career as well as those who are just beginning on their

journey. It will push you to expand your mindset in new ways and serve as a

reference you can return to as often as you need.
