A Peek Behind the Cover of We’re Gonna Keep On Talking with Matthew Kay and Jennifer Orr

What should conversations about race look and sound like in the elementary classroom? How do we respond authentically and truthfully to children’s questions about the world? And how can we build classroom communities that encourage these meaningful conversations about race?

Matthew Kay and Jennifer Orr take on these questions and more in We’re Gonna Keep On Talking: How to Lead Meaningful Race Conversations in the Elementary Classroom. A companion work to Kay’s Not Light, But Fire, this book focuses on the unique and powerful role discussions about race can play in the elementary classroom.

In this episode, Matt and Jen share a peek at We’re Gonna Keep On Talking with a reading of the Introduction.
