Part 2 - Taking Action - Anti-Racist Pedagogy Toolkit

Take Action as an Educator

In its vision for an anti-racist future, the Center for Anti-Racist Education (CARE) outlines its principles through five characteristics of antiracist educators.

Anti-racist educators:

Affirm the dignity and humanity of all people.
Embrace historical truths.
Develop a critical consciousness.
Recognize race and confront racism.
Create just systems.

In this section of the Anti-Racist Pedagogy Toolkit, you'll find resources to guide you in taking action to create anti-racist curriculum, classrooms, and colleges.
