Through our work to create an antiracist future, we will be using the following guiding principles from the Center for Anti-Racist Education:
Affirm the dignity and humanity of all people.
- Particularly students at the center of instruction
- Ensure that no one feels unsafe, invisible, or unheard
Embrace historical truths.
- Include multiple perspectives and balance stories of oppression with those of agency, resistance, and perseverance
Develop a critical consciousness.
- Humility and courage drive dialogues among students and educators that expose the hidden and visible ways racism manifests in individuals and societies
Recognize race and confront racism.
- Explicitly address bias, racism, power, privilege, and oppression
Create just systems.
- Curriculum invites students to examine how policies and practices operate to impede or advance human potential
