In an attempt to decolonize the classroom, one can make many changes:
- diversify materials and content;
- teach to learning outcomes that address power and social justice;
- design assessments that allow diverse students to demonstrate mastery in diverse ways;
- involve students in the creation of knowledge, content, and curriculum;
- embrace diverse language usage in interactions, writing and tests;
- involve oneself at the institutional, local, state and national levels to advocate for equity.
From the April 11. 2019 post, Decolonizing the Classroom: Step 1, written by National Council of Teachers of English member Michael Seward, NCTE Standing Committee on Global Citizenship.
