Challenge the biases and beliefs at the root of disproportionalityAlthough the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Brown v.

Board of Education recognized the detrimental effects of racist ideology in American education, disproportionality and inequality persist in our schools.

Desegregating Ourselves offers educators a framework for examining and disrupting the deficit-based biases and belief systems that undergird our education system and continue to harm minoritized students.

This groundbreaking book examines the root causes of persistent disproportionality, including systemic inequality, color blindness, deficit thinking, and poverty disciplining–all of which create barriers to success for marginalized students.

Features include:An in-depth survey of race and racism in the American education system, its laws, and its policies, all of which perpetuate systemic inequality and harmful stereotypesA practical framework for developing cross-cultural skills and dispositions that challenge our biases and promote educational equityConcrete strategies for interrupting and replacing deficit-based thinking and prejudicesPowerful reflections based on survey data from over 4,000 educators, which vividly illustrate how our beliefs manifest in schools and in our treatment of studentsDesegregating Ourselves is a critical guide for educators brave enough to address disproportionality by confronting the biases and belief systems that impact marginalized students.

By learning to cultivate cross-cultural skills and dispositions, educators can realize the vision of educational equity for all students.
