The Magic of Seeing Yourself in Books
Vazquez, April
Phi Delta Kappan, v104 n8 p52-55 May 2023
The multiracial population in the U.S. increased by nearly 400% between 2000 and 2020. Author April Vazquez writes that this increase has important implications for a predominantly white workforce of teachers. Educators must respond to our nation's changing demographics by supporting our multiracial students, which begins with recognizing this population's unique strengths and challenges. One way to validate their experiences is by incorporating works with multiracial protagonists into classroom literature.
