- HEA Anti-Racist Anti-Bias Teacher Coalition survey request: The goal of the Anti-Racist, Anti-Bias Teacher Coalition (ARABTC) is to work to identify and change the structures within our association that continue to perpetuate systemic racism. We believe that, in order to make that change possible, we must center the voice and experiences of our BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ members as the driving force of this work. With that in mind, we are seeking to hear from any and every member who is willing to share their story and partner with us in this mission. We look forward to getting to know our members better.
