Teaching While White - Where Whiteness Intersects with Antiracist Teaching and Learning
More than 80% of teachers in the U.S. are white. But most don’t know that their whiteness matters. Teaching While White (TWW) seeks to move the conversation forward on how to be consciously, intentionally, anti-racist in the classroom. Because "white" does not mean a blank slate. It is a set of assumptions that is the baseline from which everything is judged; it is what passes for normal. TWW wants to have conversations about those assumptions: what they are, how they impact our students, and how we can confront our bias to promote racial literacy.

Shaun King- Shaun King is amongst the most compelling voices: a humane and passionate advocate for justice and families, and an extremely visible fundraiser for victims of brutality and discrimination. Leaders like Shaun King help us see how racism is not dead and forgotten, but merely a mutating virus, and one that manifests in different forms in every age. Racism, mass incarceration, policies that criminalize blackness in the twenty-first century—these problems won’t solve themselves. And that’s why King’s voice and perspective are so important. As a magnetic element of the Black Lives Matter movement, King helps us see our present place in the larger current of American history. He’s adopted social media to rally and unite people of disparate backgrounds. He uses his platform as Senior Justice Writer for New York Daily News (and previously, Daily Kos) to help us stay informed, to unearth the truth beyond local media, and to organize in purposeful and directed ways. Moreover, he reminds us that we can take whatever we do best—whether we lobby, speak, litigate, organize, write, or more—and tilt that practice toward justice. As a speaker, Shaun King offers an articulate and historically grounded take on the most pressing problems of the day. As King argues, it’s not enough to be just a little bit better. In fact, that’s never been enough. We must each ask ourselves, "what's my best contribution to this world today?"

Our overriding mission is to pursue the answers to these critical questions:
- What are the best practices for making whiteness explicit in classrooms?
- What skills are needed to become racially literate both for teachers and students?
- How does investigating whiteness impact the identity development of white students?
- How does investigating whiteness in the classroom relieve or create stress for students of color?
- How do teachers, who do not understand their own racial impact, cause stress for students?
- How do racially literate teachers ease the burden for students?
- How do we measure success — what does it look like, sound like, feel like to be “racially literate”?
