The Attack on Anti-Racist Education in CT: What Educators, Parents, and Leaders Need to Know
About Us
The Anti-Racist Teaching and Learning Collective (ARTLC) brings together students, youth organizers, teachers, and teacher educators to build our shared capacity to transform K-12 public education in Connecticut. We share the belief that:
We are all embodying our roles as teachers and learners, no matter our age or background. We recognize that students and youth have critical roles to play as thinkers and teachers and that teachers and adults have important roles to play as learners.
We are all students committed to learning from social movements and from diverse traditions of anti-racist teaching, learning and pedagogy.
Anti-racist curriculum, consciousness-building, and pedagogy played a major role in sustaining and advancing many social movements. At their best, these curriculum efforts help to build and sustain many types of social movements.
Anti-racist curriculum and pedagogy cannot be confined to a single course, but must shape a broad set of courses, curricula and practices. Teachers and students must play a central role in designing curricula, and in supporting and training other teachers in their development.
