Resources
As I build out useful resource links and guides connected to work around arts, culture, and education, I’ll be sure to add those resources here to share the wealth of knowledge.
Resources for teaching African American/Black and Hispanic and Latino/a/x/e History
Below are links to lists of curriculum units and classroom resources developed by teachers and student, specifically with a critical, antiracist lens. I had the opportunity to collaborate on the Summer Workshop for Teaching of African American/Black & Puerto Rican/Latino Studies at CCSU in June 2021 and made the resource lists I built with my colleagues sharable. These resources were gathered with a great team of educators, researchers, and practitioners including the 2020 CT Teacher of the year.
Day 1: Resources for Affirming Student Voice and Diverse Experiences in the Classroom
– Educators have a responsibility to engage with students about current events. At the same time, they must do so without re-traumatizing students and with extra care for their mental health. These resources can help you to meet students where they are at and create brave and safe spaces to hold conversations in your classroom and school.
