"In this book, the authors describe each of 10 mindframes that were developed around the themes of equity, identities, and belonging. The mindframes are the result of a Delphi study with more than 80 participants. Each chapter will follow a similar format: the author will state the mindframe, provide a self-reflection exercise and a vignette, describe the mindframe and the Visible Learning research that supports it, describe next steps, discuss what implementing the mindframe looks like in practice, and end with exercises. The 10 mindframes are: Equity 1. Disrupt inequities. We are in a constant process of discovering, addressing, disrupting, and correcting the systemic inequities impacting our students. 2. Embrace diversity. We acknowledge, affirm, and seek to embrace the diverse cultures and identities of our students, communities, and colleagues. 3. Disrupt biases. We recognize and then seek to disrupt our unconscious biases toward our students, families, staff, and community. 4. Equitable opportunities. We are relentless in providing equitable opportunities for all students, particularly to eliminate injustices that can continue as barriers to educational access and opportunities for all students. Identities 5. Create sustaining environments. We cultivate fortifying and sustaining environments for all students to express diversity in their multiple dimensions of identity. 6. Affirm identities. We provide opportunities to acknowledge, affirm, and embrace the identities of all our students. 7. Remove identity barriers. We are collectively responsible for removing barriers to students learning, including barriers related to identities"--
The essentials for creating a supportive and inclusive space for all
Learning is hard work and the latest education research shows that a sense of psychological safety is a must if we want students to successfully progress along their education journey.
In Mindframes for Belonging, Identities, and Equity, you'll discover 10 unique mindframes backed by extensive education research and real-life scenarios. Through self-reflection and powerful vignettes, you'll learn how to apply these core principles in your daily life to foster a more inclusive and understanding learning environment. Inside, the authors explore the five critical themes behind these mindframes, including
- Impact and Efficiency
- Feedback and Assessment
- Challenging Growth
- Learning Culture and Relationships
- Ownership and Accountability
Harnessing the power of these mindframes is not just about improving education--it's about fostering an environment where every student feels valued, safe, and able to learn without fear.

"Grounded in research about practice, this book reminds us of the importance of co-cultivating with young people communities of belonging to maximize health and wellness. A powerful, transformative, and accessible resource with tools and strategies throughout, this book is a must-read for educators in the fight for equitable policies and practices that recognize and honor student identity as germane to teaching and learning. A resource that disrupts the notion of belonging as assimilation, this book teaches as it inspires." -- H. Richard Milner IV
