“Experienced educators often encourage new teachers to ‘just be yourself.’ While that’s essential advice for both the new and more experienced teachers, it’s challenging to explain how to be authentic. Reclaiming Authenticity: Unearth Your True Self and Build an Equitable Classroom guides educators to analyze the systems that impact who we are and uncover the multifaceted truth about our authentic selves. This book is a welcome invitation for educators to practice authenticity in our classrooms.”

Stephanie Walter, director of teaching and learning, Mizzou Academy, University of Missouri

“Bell and Ramkellawan bring together essential theoretical research and real-world application in this new book focused on authenticity, engagement, and learning. The ‘pause and ponder’ sections in each chapter allow for robust discussions in peer learning communities and opportunities for genuine reflection about theory and practice. This is a useful and applicable resource for any teacher and school leader!”

Liza A. Talusan, author of The Identity-Conscious Educator and Identity-Conscious Practice in Action
