Racial equity is not just "giving individual students what they need to succeed." Part of what students need is to not experience racism at school. That requires institutional antiracism, not just individual differentiating.

As more schools return to in-person learning in the coming months, there will rightly be pushes for trauma-informed practices to meet the moment. Without first reflecting on how schools themselves cause and exacerbate trauma, these efforts can fall flat.

Monday is #IndigenousPeoplesDay. Many communities and schools will concurrently observe Columbus Day. Educators have the power to disrupt the whitewashed story of Christopher Columbus and instead center Indigenous voices. Here are some suggestions.

This Monday is #IndigenousPeoplesDay, a holiday still observed as Columbus Day in many states. On this day—and year-round—we hope you’ll commit to teaching the truth about Indigenous history and experiences of Indigenous peoples. These resources can help.
