All Students Must Thrive All students deserve our best – and especially those who experience racial inequity, toxic stressors, cultural invalidation, homelessness, and other trauma. Today’s students deserve teachers who care about their overall wellness as much or even more than their academic well-being and success. Yet inequities abound, and the most vulnerable students who most need resources are often the least likely to receive such support. So how can we ensure that all students thrive? By building and sustaining the critical wellness approach shared in All Students Must Thrive. This book brings together three frameworks relevant for equity in schools – wellness, critical pedagogy, and critical race theory. Offering a multilayered approach to supporting students and their families holistically, this book helps every educator nurture the social emotional wellness that is essential for all students to thrive. Are you ready to transform today’s schools into tomorrow’s hubs of learning? Whether you are an educator in a small rural, large urban, or midsize suburban district – whether the population is largely socioeconomically disadvantaged, racially segregated, or a balanced mosaic from diverse backgrounds – this book will help you understand how to demonstrate to students that they do matter, that their wellness is essential, and that they can thrive in their quest to learn. So be bold. Be courageous. Be reflective and dedicate yourself to improving leadership, practice, policy and research that benefits our students. Audiences Administrators District Leaders Principals Assistant Principals Coaches Curriculum Coordinators K-12 Teachers Praise for All Students Must Thrive: “All Students Must Thrive is the book we need right now. There is growing awareness that by focusing narrowly on student achievement we have ignored the social and emotional needs of too many children. As a result, the children with the greatest needs are usually the ones who do least well in school. This book provides practical insights on how to reverse that tendency by incorporating a focus on the social and emotional needs of children into our classrooms and school so that all children can indeed thrive.” —Pedro A. Noguera, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Education; Faculty Director, Center for the Transformation of Schools “Dr. Howard and his coauthors affirm, with grace and clarity, what educators, activists, and Black and Brown communities have long felt in their bones: that to educate a student is to acknowledge, celebrate, and uplift their complex racial and cultural identities. In our work in New Jersey, we’re focusing on transformation, including forging a culture of high expectations and diversifying our teaching force. These initiatives ensure all students succeed in school and in life but would be inconsequential without our focus on embracing the social emotional wellbeing of our students. In this book, Tyrone and his team offer insights and recommendations to support this most fundamental need. I am hopeful that all other educators concerned with democratizing access to high-quality education for students of all races, cultures, and lived experiences will do well to consider the practices and understandings shared in this work.” —Dr. Lamont O. Repollet, commissioner, department of education, New Jersey “All Students Must Thrive is a brilliantly constructed manual for deliberately combatting the pervasive layers of oppression that permeate school practices, structures, and systems—and ourselves—and that harm our young people. It makes clear that caring for youth requires centering relationships and an intentional focus on critical wellness. The impressive team of authors brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the project of transformation that must begin with each of us and that must also be collective and systemic work. Each writer argues convincingly for a key element of the kaleidoscope of action necessary to adopt a critical wellness framework rooted in the tenets of critical pedagogy and critical race theory. The book offers thoughtful support for action to disrupt patterns of racism and oppression without detaching the practical from the theoretical. The authors deftly interweave theory, history, and critical analysis with practice and the result is a book rich in resources that meets each reader where they are. They provide language to use, scenarios to consider, questions for the field to take up, beginning steps on how to do this challenging work, and support for learning and action. This is a seminal text that every educator must study and use to develop themselves and their practice, as individuals and as members of communities.” —Deborah Loewenberg Ball, William H. Payne Collegiate Professor in Education and Arthur F. Thurnau Professor; Director, TeachingWorks; Research Professor, Institute for Social Research
