This edited book shows how critical race theory (CRT) can shape teacher practices in ways that improve educational outcomes for all children, especially those most marginalized in PreK-20 classrooms.

The volume bridges the gap between the theoretical foundations of critical race theory and its application in formal and informal learning environments. To promote an active and interdisciplinary engagement of critical race praxis, it illuminates the pedagogical possibilities of using CRT while explicitly addressing grade span-specific content area standards and skills. Each chapter explores how educators use a critical race theory lens to deepen student learning, teach honestly about racism and white supremacy, and actively prepare learners to equitably participate in a multiracial democracy.

Written for pre- and in-service teachers, teacher educators, and anti-racist community stakeholders, the text addresses the applicability of CRT as a pedagogical practice for PreK-20 educators seeking to meaningfully combat intersectional racial injustice and to create a more just democracy. This book is necessary reading for educators, and courses in Educational Foundations, Anti-Racist Education, Social Justice Education, Curriculum Studies, Educational Leadership, and Multicultural Education.

Reviews for Critical Race Theory and Classroom Practice

"""We have two educational choices—continuing deceiving our children with lies, omissions, and distortions, or facing up to the truth about racial inequalities in our society. They are persistent and they are systemic. Critical Race Theory and Classroom Practice is a volume willing to take on this important challenge."" Gloria Ladson-Billings, Professor Emerita, FBA Department of Curriculum & Instruction Immediate Past President, National Academy of Education 2020-2021 Hagler Institute Fellow, Texas A&M University Fellow, American Academy of Arts & Sciences Fellow, The British Academy Fellow, American Educational Research Association “Cook and Bryan’s well conceptualized and brilliantly written edited book draws on Critical Race Theory to elucidate the liberatory practices of modern-day teachers and teacher educators who are teaching an honest curriculum. Given the current paranoia over discussions of race in many places across the country, this book provides essential knowledge about the critical importance of teaching about racism in today’s classrooms. This is the book we’ve been waiting for!” Marvin Lynn, Dean & Professor, College of Education and Human Development University of Colorado Denver “Through an incredibly diverse mix of scholars, this volume offers a strong representation of theoretically sound praxis for current and aspiring educators seeking to engage curriculum in racially just and socially responsible ways.” Theodorea Regina Berry, Professor of Curriculum Studies, Department of Learning Sciences and Research, College of Community Innovation and Education, University of Central Florida"
