Taming Microaggressions: A Framework for Enhancing Teaching and Learning

Microaggressions are pervasive in all educational environments. Where they have free rein, the potential for adverse interference in teaching-learning practices looms large. They are known to negatively impact the ability of students to engage optimally in learning and of teachers to teach effectively. Research ascertains that microaggressions are silent killers of not only student learning but also teacher performance. Left unaddressed or incorrectly approached, microaggressions can create hostile learning environments and thereby provide a backdrop for tension and conflict in an educational environment. The hostile and invalidating climate they engender can lead to deleterious consequences ranging from self-doubt to suicidal ideations. “Taming Microaggressions” offers fresh and unique insights from insiders’ perspectives on the adverse impact of microaggressions in K-12 education. It suggests a practical framework for minimizing their interference, empowering students, and enhancing the quality of instruction. Furthermore, the book explores a blended model of educational leadership that can fuel organizational and instructional effectiveness. It also addresses critical issues related to teachers’ underpayment and the paradox of linking teacher pay to teacher performance, highlighting repercussions of teachers’ extra employment.
