Start Here Start Now

A Guide to Antibias and Antiracist Work in Your School Community

By: Liz Kleinrock

Narrated by: Liz Kleinrock

Most educators want to cultivate an antibias and antiracist classroom and school community, but they often struggle with where and how to get started. Liz helps us set ourselves up for success and prepare for the mistakes we’ll make along the way.

Each chapter in Start Here, Start Now addresses many of the questions and challenges educators have about getting started, using a framework for tackling perceived barriers from a proactive stance. Liz answers the questions with personal stories, sample lessons, anchor charts, resources, conversation starters, extensive teacher and activist accounts, and more. We can break the habits that are holding us back from this work and be empowered to take the first step towards reimagining the possibilities of how antibias, antiracist work can transform schools and the world at large.

We must remind ourselves that what is right is often not what is easy, and we must continue to dream. Amidst the chaos, our path ahead is clear. This is our chance to dream big and build something better.

Great book to start ABAR work!

This is a great guide to being ABAR for yourself, your classroom and school. Book also offers a lot of resources and ideas.

Excellent!!

The book made me aware of my own biases. It offered great resources and ways to incorporate into the curriculum.

Inspiring and action Oriented

I am so thankful for the inspiration this book have brought me and even more thankful for the specific actionable tools I was given. So often we discuss ideas and theories but this book also gets specific and clear with actually lessons and activities to do with kids and adults alike.

ABAR for teachers

Liz did a great job of breaking down ways to integrate ABAR into every day teaching including getting admin and parents involved. I particularly like the STEM chapter!
