Learning and Teaching While White

"""What readers find when they open Learning and Teaching While White is a path to becoming a racially aware white educator. This is not just a book, it is a critical, personal exploration of self and system that the authors carefully scaffold to enhance the skill of white educators, both as teachers and as humans."" Dr. Eddie Moore Jr., founder of The White Privilege Conference ""Yes! A nuanced and accessible resource for white teachers who have consistently asked, ‘What do I do?’ This excellent book answers that question, from two highly experienced white teachers who have been engaged in the work of anti-racist practice for decades. This is an essential guidebook that needs to be on every white teacher's shelf."" Robin DiAngelo, author of White Fragility and Nice Racism ""Learning and Teaching While White is the book educators need right now. As reactionary forces seek to stifle equity efforts in schools and intimidate teachers from discussing race, Jenna Chandler-Ward and Elizabeth Denevi have provided an indispensable and practical guide for teachers who know the importance of this work but are uncertain of how to do it. A must-read for all who care about racial equity, the creation of white antiracist solidarity, and the future of America."" Tim Wise, antiracist educator, author of White Like Me: Reflections on Race From A Privileged Son ""This book will equip white educators for their job. If our educators had this outstanding racial literacy toolkit, it would have defogged the racial lies we grew up with and urged us all to reconsider our responsibilities toward each other. It would have altered the trajectory of our time in US K–12 schools."" Winona Guo and Priya Vulchi, cofounders of CHOOSE and authors of Tell Me Who You Are"
