Anti-Racist Curriculum in PK-12 Schools

Mission

The Anti-Racist Curriculum in PK-12 Schools committee will track and share information about initiatives related to anti-racist curriculum in PK-12 schools and will coordinate or amplify efforts consistent with our goals.

Goals

  • Build grass-roots support (student roundtables, educator and leader buy-in).
  • Help develop anti-racist curriculum at the school/district level as well as in non-school settings (e.g., museums).
  • Support ongoing professional development for educators related to anti-racism and culturally responsive practice.
  • Incorporate understanding of anti-racism in educator preparation programs.
  • Revise curriculum standards and related student assessments.
