Tamar and Nicole discuss their experiences creating a space where students feel safe to be themselves and brave enough to discuss important, sometimes uncomfortable topics.
This episode draws from two NJ-HEART informational sessions: "Establishing Safe & Brave Space for Difficult Classroom Discussions" and "Creating a Safe and Brave Environment for Antiracist Education." The discussion also mentions Liz Kleinrock's book Start Here, Start Now and her TED Talk, "How to teach kids to talk about taboo topics."
