Learning to Relearn

Learning to Relearn is a guide for teachers who want to build classrooms grounded in diversity, equity, and inclusion. Kwame Sarfo-Mensah draws on anti-bias, anti-racist (ABAR) education to show educators how to identify and take apart systemic bias, and how to create spaces that respect the many overlapping identities their students hold. The book includes a foreword by Dr. Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz.

The author combines theory with hands-on strategies for developing anti-bias, anti-racist teaching, with attention to students who move through several layers of identity at once. Topics range from building an inclusive curriculum to leading classroom discussions with empathy, so that teachers can support student identities with care and intention.

The central idea is that teaching improves through unlearning and relearning. Sarfo-Mensah encourages teachers to keep revising their practice as their students' needs change. First-person narratives and practical takeaways run through the chapters, helping educators build culturally affirming classrooms where each student's identity is celebrated and not just acknowledged.
