The Black student who learns to value athleticism over intelligence. The white student who observes the criminalization of everyday behaviors of Black classmates.

This Unspoken Curriculum shapes how youth view themselves—and each other—in society. Together, we can help change what’s really communicated in our schools to make it a healthier place for the minds of our students.
