Book excerpt: It is well documented that with a growing demographic mismatch between a largely white teaching force and an increasingly diverse student body, teacher-student relationships are often impacted by a lack of educator understanding around the effects of racism on students' lives and educational systems. The utilization of anti-racist pedagogy, which emphasizes the examination of historical and political contexts and the cultivation of critical analysis of individual and systemic structures, presents a suitable approach of introducing and delving into the issue of racial equity in education. This study explores the ways in which practicing teachers in a Title I school navigate conversations about race and react to strategies and activities in an introductory professional learning in-service using the Courageous Conversations framework developed by Glen Singleton. This paper indicates a need for continued, ongoing professional development to move teachers toward an anti-racist mindset and create the context necessary for educators to understand systemic racism and its effects within the educational system.
