Abstract
Because reflection around race in cultural contextsand diversity are seldom taught or practicedamong teachers, and because an increasingly largenumber of students of color are not succeeding inP-12 classrooms, this article attempts to advancea concept of race reflection in cultural contexts.Several issues are considered, including (a) thenecessity of race reflection in cultural contexts forboth White teachers and teachers of color; (b) racialand cultural mismatches between teachers andstudents, which could stifle learning; and (c) theneed for pedagogical tools to enhance discussionsand activities around difficult topics such as race.A chart is presented as one tool for race reflectivedialogue and activity in teacher education and beyond.Additionally, two methods of race reflectionin cultural contexts are provided for personal andgroup introspection: race reflective journaling andcritically engaged racial dialogue.
