Great post by @FunkyPedagogy . I agree that black educators do not always get the recognition on platforms like this. It feels like you have to work harder to be & #39;noticed& #39; on Twitter as someone recommended to follow. https://twitter.com/FunkyPedagogy/status/1276754010121424896">https://twitter.com/FunkyPeda...
I know I& #39;m good at what I do, but I often avoid engaging in some conversations on Twitter, especially with the Twitter elite, because I feel I& #39;m going to say something stupid or be told I& #39;m wrong.
Then when we do get high engagement it& #39;s because we are sharing antiracism posts. Where& #39;s the same engagement when we& #39;re posting other resources for the curriculum or talking about things other than race? Are black voices only valuable when it comes to talking about race? No
Like @FunkyPedagogy was saying in her post. If you don& #39;t SEE them , you don& #39;t go on to promote them. I always try to retweet and share the work of teachers from various races and experience and I know there& #39;s many who do the same.
I wish to see more of the Twitter & #39;elite& #39; doing this and actively seeking out teachers outside of their circle to follow and promote to others.
When I& #39;m not posting about race, I& #39;m sharing English resources I& #39;ve created, Youtube revision and wellbeing videos for students and The Happy Teacher Planner I created. I am more than my anti-racism posts.
Name teachers of colour you recommend following because of the work they do as a teacher (as well as the work they do for antiracism). I recommend @MsBLit @charleneshaw_ @kleohepburn @OSaunders92 @missjredwards @FunkyPedagogy
