TAG SOMEONE WHO NEEDS REMINDING. February may be ending today but The value of Black histories, presents, and futures still matter. Black history is LIMITLESS and deserves to be taught as such. It's Black history year, every year. - -... #disruptingracismwithkids #antiracismresources #antiracisteducation #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #canadianteachertribe #blackeducators See more

Teachers play a critical role in anti-racist education but they do not play the ONLY role. School boards and administrators set the climate for a school environment, both in person and online. Hosting a (virtual) Black History Month speaker is cool... But we want to know: what's next? #disruptingracismwithkids #antiracismresources #antiracisteducation #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #canadianteachertribe #blackeducators

Did you know that the Ontario curriculum mentions neither Black nor white people's history explicitly. Nevertheless, only the histories of Black Canadians are underrepresented. Students across the province continue to learn an inaccurate, unrepresentative and whitewashed history of this country. This is racism in action. It’s time to #changethecurriculum. - - - #blackhistorymonth #blackhistorymatters #blackeducators #antiracisteducation #onted #culturallyresponsiveteaching

SAVE THIS POST FOR LESSON PLANNING INSPO! Race is not a bad word. Colourblindness is not aspirational. Let us facilitate learning environments that foster honest conversations about race and racism. Let us encourage our students to SEE race as part of seeing each other holistically. Let us ensure that marginalized voices are amplified and protected in these conversations and that all students feel welcomed to learn. Let us model bravery in these spaces so that are students will learn that bravery for themselves. #blackhistorymonth #changethecurriculum #blackhistorymatters #antiracisteducator #virtuallearning #onted
