Identity Safe Spaces at Home and School: Partnering to Overcome InequityThis book provides the most up-to-date research on identity safe practices and how to ensure that they occur both at home and at school. Today's schools serve students and families with a diversity of identities. While diversity enriches the school community, educators are becoming increasingly aware of the vast number of students subjected to identity-related adverse childhood experiences and inequitable practices. To mitigate the negative impacts of oppression on marginalized identities, this book shows educators how they can work together with parents and guardians to support all students' well-being and success. Each chapter of this book covers a core practice of identity safe classrooms, explains how to extend those practices schoolwide, and discusses how to share these practices with families to implement at home. Teachers, school leaders, counselors, social workers, and others can use this guide to foster strengths-based and culturally responsive home-school partnerships in all that they do. Book Features:
