Implementing an antiracist approach can be a struggle. We might know what that term means, but Lorena has found that not many of us know what that looks like in practice.

So, she created a workbook for all of us, where you’ll find hands-on strategies couched in love and justice. Lorena walks us through theoretical and research-based frameworks to develop antiracist reading instruction practices.

See: How can I see what’s going on around me and how it impacts my work? Think:What strategies implement an antiracist stance?What does it mean to be a reading teacher or teach young people how to analyze and comprehend in an antiracist way?Act: What steps do I need to take right now and in the long term to be an antiracist teacher?Education is implicated in the troubling scenes we are seeing in our country right now. Because education is one of the institutions that has played a role in the racism that built our nation, we have to address it by looking at what and how we teach.

The good news is that there is great and achievable work that we can do to begin restoration.
