ABSTRACT
This chapter explores how race-focused educator professional development, educator advocacy, multiracial/multicultural education, authentically diverse school environments, and interracial family, school, community relations facilitate supportive schooling for mixed-race youth. It begins with a clear understanding of issues associated with the schooling of mixed-race youth within a given educational context. The chapter argues that the most frequently applied multicultural education is lacking to some degree when it comes to the schooling of mixed-race youth. Schools and districts committed to understanding and addressing the schooling needs of mixed-race youth are further advantaged when they drill deeper into mixed-race student data to ascertain the within-group diversity among the mixed-race students attending their schools. It concerned with actions educators can take to create schools supportive of mixed-race youth, actions taken in earnest potentially support schooling of all youth.
