​THE STUDENTS’ SIX: STRATEGIES FOR CULTURALLY RELEVANT TEACHING

At the heart of The Students’ Six strategies is the idea that students have a lot to teach teachers when it comes to addressing issues like race, racial justice, racial dynamics, and cultural sensitivity in the classroom. We’ve developed a process to help that teaching happen. It’s a process drawn from from research-based strategies that have been proven effective with students of color.

Hope in a Box
We equip educators with LGBTQ-inclusive books, curriculum, training, and mentorship. Together, we use literature to cultivate empathy and ensure every LGBTQ student feels safe, welcome, and included at school.
