Courageous Conversations About Race is a protocol or guideline for engaging educators and community stakeholders in a productive discussion about the role that race and institutional racism play in student engagement in school-based settings. This entry describes the frame educators use currently to discuss racial achievement disparities without reference to race or racism and delineates the components of the Courageous Conversation protocol.
