Beyond White Curriculum: Developing Warrior-Scholars in Antiracist Classrooms (The Antiracist Education Series)

We ARE the curriculum.
So what must change?

What happens when schools stop trying to make students succeed within existing systems—and instead redesign learning around who they are, where they come from, and who they want to become?

In Beyond White Curriculum: Developing Warrior-Scholars in Antiracist Classrooms , Dr. Ann Milne challenges educators to confront one of schooling’s most protected spaces: the curriculum itself.

Drawing on decades of leadership, research, and classroom transformation, she exposes how curriculum has normalized Whiteness, marginalized Indigenous and minoritized knowledge, and defined success through narrow colonial frameworks.

Beyond White Curriculum moves antiracist education beyond critique into construction.

Through powerful school examples, Warrior-Scholar voice, and a practical Five-Stage Planning Framework, educators are guided to create learning that:

Strengthens cultural identity Builds critical consciousness Develops students as agents of change
Inside, you’ll find:

A clear analysis of how Whitestream curriculum operates Critical design questions that surface power and colonial assumptions A step-by-step framework for antiracist, culturally sustaining inquiry Tools for localizing curriculum in partnership with Indigenous communities Access to a downloadable Warrior-Scholar Planning Framework
This is not about adding diversity to existing units.
It is about redesigning curriculum itself.

Whether you are a classroom teacher, school leader, or system changemaker, this book offers a roadmap for reimagining learning so that all students—especially those historically marginalized—can see themselves at the center of education.

The curriculum is not something we deliver.
It is something we build.
