There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in reflective observation through encounters with statements of ‘White’ teachers and ‘Black’ students

This study presents a unique workshop delivered in Israel via Zoom to 178 teachers working in heterogeneous classes. During the workshop, the teachers were shown quotes of ‘black’ students and ‘white’ teachers, asking them to find the connection between them and share their thoughts and feelings. Immediately following the workshop, the teachers wrote a reflection, and then again one month later. The researchers qualitatively analyzed the data - the teachers' responses and reflections. Findings indicate a ‘crack’ among the teachers. 'The light got in,' through which they expressed more understanding and empathy towards the students presented in the research and their own students’ perspectives.
