As Muslims begin observing Ramadan, it’s a good time to consider the importance of building a strong sense of belonging at school. Affirming the identities of Muslim students and all minoritized and racialized learners is a way of creating a positive classroom culture. Fostering opportunities to understand inequities, going beyond stories of racism and spotlighting greatness and achievement all […] … learn more→

Esperanza (fictitious name) is in the psychologist’s office to have her first session. This is not the usual waiting room with a low glass table in the center and a few scattered fashion magazines.
