Voices From the Field: Practicing the Aware Mindset
Channel: MIT Teaching Systems Lab
Date: 2021-01-25

In this video, you'll hear about the impact of the Aware mindset at a high school in Sanford, FL.

You'll hear how a 1970 lawsuit from the United States Justice Department forced the district to racially integrate its schools and sparked frank conversations about race and opportunity. In addition, you'll hear from two educators talk about the importance of being able to speak openly about the impacts of systemic racism, and how a shared understanding among the staff allows them to operate with Aware thinking. 

This is an updated video from the 2021 rerun of the MIT Teaching Systems Lab's online edX course: Becoming a More Equitable Educator: Mindsets and Practices. Enroll now on edX: http://bit.ly/TSLEquity
