How can we begin to eliminate racism in our classrooms? One of the most important things a teacher can do at the beginning of any term is to examine his/her/their own attitudes and biases toward each student. What do we, as teachers, bring to the class? What implicit (or explicit) biases do we have when we first meet our students. When do we respond to behavioral issues? When we grade student work? This is a simple and personal task, but not a small one.
