Sumario:In social work education, it is critical we continue to teach skills that prioritize antiracism, diversity, equity, and inclusion (ADEI). This article seeks to examine how cultural humility can be integrated as an antiracist practice within social work education. It introduces a framework called the facilitators of anti-racist change (FoARC). This framework emphasizes practical competencies, reflective practice, and structured experiences that translate into meaningful classroom outcomes. The FoARC framework integrates cultural humility with explicit skill building to operationalize ADEI. To illustrate applicability, a case example of an elective course developed under FoARC outlines instructional strategies, assessment approaches, and reflections on emergent insights. The article also discusses limitations, ethical considerations, and implications for future research and instruction in social work education.
