Learning to Challenge Racial "Colorblindness"
Mayfield, Vernita
Educational Leadership, v78 n5 p33-37 Feb 2021
Colorblind ideology--grounded in the belief that race is not a determinant factor for economic or academic outcomes in the U.S.--can thwart teachers' learning in PD focused on equity and anti-racist education. Colorblind ideology deflects conversation from race and suppresses a group's ability to address racial issues. Mayfield spells out how to do PD on racism and equity without getting sidetracked by colorblindness.
