Tools and resources to facilitate action and the implementation of policies that advance racial equity within institutional, local and state contexts.
Resources for Teaching About Race and Racism
We've compiled these resources to help educators of all ages talk about race and racism in the classroom. We start with overarching resources that we think could be useful across the age spectrum. We then organize resources loosely by age (early childhood, elementary, middle/high school). Included in this list are links to relevant CECR research and past events, as well as resources by other organizations whose work has proven valuable to us. We invite your contributions to this ongoing list; to find our contact information, please see the beginning of the document.
