ABSTRACT
Opportunities for learning (OfL) provides a model to illustrate ways white teachers may learn how to understand their own white identity. The tenets of whiteness related to privilege, invisibility, and denial are applied to the OfL model to demonstrate the importance of white teachers as learners who have histories they bring to learning. The components of the OfL model are mediating agents, discourse, and the importance of how individuals facilitate learning about whiteness. Additional discussion regarding how unlearning racism as a part of whiteness understanding suggests how the OfL model can be amended to explore those possibilities.
