Teaching Black History All Year + Joy, Picture Books, Teaching Teachers, Kindergarteners, and more‪.‬ Regenerative Ed

Today I'm joined by Dawnavyn James whose main message for us as an audience today is TEACH BLACK HISTORY!!! :)
Dawnavyn is an early childhood, elementary, and Black History educator. She is a PhD student at the University at Buffalo and a fellow for the Center for K-12 Black History and Racial Literacy Education. Her research interests include elementary Black history education, instruction, and curriculum development.
We talk about creating a safe container for race and identity conversations in the classroom especially for little ones and using picture books (at all levels) to help inspire those conversations. We chat about teaching Black History all year long, about shying away from teaching Black History or even teaching Black History incorrectly (Check out the widely used and harmful Harriet Tubman Worksheet Dawnavyn breaks down on her @queendomteaching Instagram Account)
Dawnavyn was such a delight to talk to. I feel so grateful that she took the time to share her thinking and experiences with our audience. 
Be sure to follow Dawnavyn for tips, picture book recommendation, Black History information, and to be sure you get her book when it drops!
