Funded Dec 2, 2020Thank you so much for donating so that I could attend the "Black History is American History," Workshop. This workshop really confirmed a lot of what I believe about teaching Black history as well as provided me with some new frameworks around which to center my teaching. The workshop really pushed educators to reflect on the ways in which Black history is currently taught and what we can do in order to represent this history in a truer, more authentic way.
The highlight of this workshop for me was thinking about how educators can connect historical Black movements to the movements we are seeing today. Not only did this workshop inform my teaching, it also taught me so many things I was never taught in my own schooling.
The learning I received at this workshop really helped me create my child activist unit that my students are currently working on. When they are finished, I can't wait to share some of their learning with you!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Koplove
