Are you looking for practical strategies to engage with your students?\nInspired 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 geting them right, providing candid guidance on:\nHow to recognize the difference between meaningful and inconsequential race conversations.\nHow to build conversational \"safe spaces,\" not merely declare them.\nHow to infuse race conversations with urgency and purpose.\nhow to thrive in the face of unexpected challenges.\nHow administrators might equip teachers to thoughtfully engage in these conversations.\nWith the right blend of reflection and humility, Kay asserts, teachers can make school one of the best venues for young people to discuss race.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1625310986\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 31UI5600A35C_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Kay, Matthew\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
