Make the classroom a space for authentic and accountable exchange where a diverse set of voices add knowledge to the course beyond the perspective of the teacher.

Take the time to learn your students’ names and how to pronounce them correctly.

Create a culturally responsive classroom to ensure you respect the identities of your students of color, this should increase classroom engagement.

Advocate for hiring more teachers of color in your school, district, and state.

Spend time listening to your students and their families before deciding the books or examples you’ll use in the curriculum in order to connect the material to your students’ lives.

Use discipline policies based on principles of nonviolence and restorative justice and investigate how discipline policies are doled out.

Improve the way you talk about your students and remove words from your vocabulary that make the students sound like outsiders instead of members of the school community.

Reflect on how implicit bias impacts your teaching so that media representations of female students and students of color don't impact your classroom.
