Episode 7: In this episode, we dig into our perspectives on Black History Month as well as other months designated to celebrate certain groups of people. Join us as we ask questions about why do we have Black History Month, Women’s History Month, National Hispanic Heritage Month, Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month?
This week we reflect and ask the question how best can we celebrate people in schools and better yet, why? Join us as we discuss why do we as educators do it, how can we do it intentionally engage and acknowledge marginalized people, and make sure it is an authentic and not performative aspect of addressing racial equity in our schools, classrooms, and homes?
Some of our liberation lessons include reflecting on your own identity, learning about lived experiences different than your own, highlighting people who challenge the status quo, and the importance of learning and teaching about marginalized identities all year long.
