Regardless of your feelings about the election, I think we can all agree that the rhetoric that has emerged in our national conversation around race, gender, and religion shows us that we all still have quite a bit of work to do. Many of us have been having reactive conversations about these things with our students over the past few weeks. As important and challenging as these conversations are, we should also turn our attention to how we're shaping and supporting our schools to successfully teach tolerance and support diversity and inclusion for all our students. Teaching for Change is a great resource for building social justice in the classroom, particularly their guide for selecting anti-bias children's books and booklist full of Teaching for Change recommended books. Ensuring that our classrooms and school communities are full of resources that ensure our students feel safe, heard, and included is a step we all can take.
