Teaching While White
Report Details
What is Teaching While White?
The company has stated on their website’s about page that they seek “to move the conversation forward on how to be consciously, intentionally, anti-racist in the classroom.”
It notes: “Because ‘white’ does not mean a blank slate. It is a set of assumptions that is the baseline from which everything is judged; it is what passes for normal. Teaching While White wants to have conversations about those assumptions: what they are, how they impact our students, and how we can confront our bias to promote racial literacy.”
