[Abrufen] e-gramatas Not Light, but Fire: How to Lead
Meaningful Race Conversations in the Classroom
By Matthew R. Kay
Do you feel prepared to initiate and facilitate meaningful, productive dialogues
about race in your classroom? Are you looking for practical strategies to engage
with your students?Inspired by Frederick Douglass's abolitionist call to action,
?it is not light that is needed, but fire? Matthew Kay has spent his career
learning how to lead students through the most difficult race conversations. Kay
not only makes the case that high school classrooms are one of the best places
to have those conversations, but he also offers a method for getting them right,
providing candid guidance on:How to?recognize?the difference between
meaningful and inconsequential race conversations.How
to?build?conversational ?safe spaces,? not merely declare them.How
to?infuse?race conversations with urgency and purpose.How to?thrive?in the
face of unexpected challenges.How administrators might?equip?teachers to
thoughtfully engage in these conversations.With the right blend of reflection
and humility, Kay
