The article from Edutopia.edu describes five different strategies that educators can use in including families into student progress. In these five strategies, author Ari Gerzon-Kessler highlights aspects of learning such as communication, accessibility, effort, identities, and more. The entire article acknowledges the way students identities shape them but, specifically, strategy number 2 emphasizes the importance of family culture, beliefs, and traditions in properly engaging and representing students. This is a great resource because it provides educators with simple yet thoughtful ways of better reaching their students and the parts of their identities that may not be typically emphasizes in a classroom setting. 

This study was completed to highlight the role that teacher biases may unknowingly play in the classroom. It describes the way that pre-service teachers can improve their understandings of themselves through exploration of their own identities, cultural beliefs, practices, and more. Participants were asked to use strategies of self reflection and identity exploration. They concluded that an aspect of teacher training should include "identity focused initiatives" in order to properly develop an educators application of CRT. This is a useful tool because it not only provides approaches teachers should take to understanding how their identity is present in their classrooms but also the necessary information to back how researchers reached this conclusion.
