Because you can’t improve schools without talking.

Mica Pollock created Schooltalking.org to offer tools and dialogue supports for educators, youth and families trying to pursue antiracism and equity in their education communities, as a collective investment in an improved society.

Imagine schools where folks level the playing field of opportunity, dismantle opportunity barriers, benefit from the rich diversity of all communities, and treat all people humanely.

Let’s talk toward that.

Such efforts support and benefit us all.

Mica is Professor of Education Studies and Director of CREATE (the Center for Research on Educational Equity, Assessment, and Teaching Excellence) at the University of California, San Diego. 

Mica has spent decades working to create talk tools that help people work toward antiracism and equity in schools. She is constantly on a hunt for tools and ideas that help, and she wants to talk with you to support your work.
