I watched Courageous Conversations About Race. I like that this course offers ways to have these types of conversations by providing tools to facilitate safe and productive methods of dialogue with students and other educators in order to combat misunderstanding and disparity. I also appreciate the exercises designed to help individuals explore their own racial identity and its intersectionality and relationship to other races. As a teacher mentor, I often grapple with how to help others explore their own role, but these lessons are not quickly or easily taught. Individuals must take time to reflect deep within themselves and their own experiences in order to reach the ultimate goal of racial equity in education.
