To my friends who are teachers, educators, or that want to educate themselves: incorporating BLM into our curriculum is always important, but now more than ever, our students (especially our Black students) need a humanizing curriculum
One that focuses on social justice, healing, creativity and imagination, and above all, love. Go to http://www.edliberation.org/planbookresources for live links of resources to incorporate activism and cultural relevance in your teaching
The link also provides great resources for anyone looking to educate themselves on social justice history in a way that counters the White literary cannon...
Follow this link for activity ideas and lesson plans to talk to middle and high school students about police violence: http://www.usprisonculture.com/blog/2014/08/31/fergusonsyllabus-talking-and-teaching-about-police-violence/
If it’s not already clear, my heart is broken for my past, present, and future Black students who are growing up in a world that treats them as disposable. Please reply with any other resources you have to support our most vulnerable students. I’ll keep adding to this thread too.
