Mandatory anti-racism and microaggression training for teachers

Experiences children and young people have in the classroom can become the foundation for personal development and academic progress. Teachers that carry unconscious biases, or don’t know how to handle racism in the classroom, can have a detrimental effect to the development of young people of an ethnic minority. Mandatory training on how to eliminate unconscious bias, what constitutes a microaggression, and how to handle racism in schools, would be life-changing for black students.
