Studies show that racial microaggressions have harmful consequences for students of color
Teacher's ability to understand racial microaggressions is essential for minority students’ general positive orientation towards school, classroom engagement, pro-social conduct, and scholastic achievement. While it is almost impossible to eliminate all the atmospheric threats and racial assaults that students of color encounter in academic institutions, instructors have a responsibility to create academic environments that are as free of racial bias as possible. Successful attenuation of these threats and corresponding success depends on schooling strategies that reduce racial microaggressions.
