Humans Who Teach: A Guide for Centering Love, Justice and Liberation in Schools by Shamari Reid
“In Humans Who Teach, Shamari centers love to guide us toward that world. And oh, what a beautiful world it is! A world where we can all enjoy the freedom to love ourselves and our communities without being oppressed or marginalized. More specifically, a world where teachers lovingly embrace their humanity and the inherent humanity of their students.”
The book study explores:
Our complicated humanity and the cycle of our collective socialization as humans
Unlearning negative behavior that can lead to dehydrating ourselves as humans who teach
Our human ability to practice radical love
Exercises, tools, and guidance for drawing on love to teach for social justice
A framework to help us honor our commitments to justice and equity in education even in the presence of fear
This book study will be facilitated by teachers who are members of the National Writing Project.
