What should conversations about race look and sound like in the elementary classroom? And how can we build classroom communities that encourage these meaningful conversations about race?
Matthew Kay and Jennifer Orr take on these questions and more in We're Gonna Keep On Talking: How to Lead Meaningful Race Conversations in the Elementary Classroom. This book focuses on the unique and powerful role discussions about race can play in the elementary classroom.
Drawing its title inspiration from the freedom song "Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around," sung by hundreds of children marching against segregation in the Children's Crusade of 1963, We're Gonna Keep On Talking is written for teachers who are willing to match children's courage and brilliance.
Writing with the humility and honest storytelling of two career classroom teachers, Matthew Kay and Jennifer Orr share:
● Strategies for building safe and supportive classroom and school spaces for productive discourse
● Dozens of practical teacher moves for facilitating race conversations
● Classroom stories that allow listeners to envision ways into the work through picture books, art, graphs, and current events.
