[Dr. John Spencer @spencerideas]

It’s not selfish for educators to bring up concerns about exposure to COVID-19. It’s not even self-care. It’s basic self-preservation. And that’s often motivated by the human desire to be alive for our loved ones. Saying, “I want to live” shouldn’t be a controversial stance.

Now more than ever we must lift up the LGBTQ community. Let’s celebrate our Pride now and always. 🥳🌈 #pride #LGBTQpride

[Mrs. K @ArtwMrsK]

For those that think that "kids" aren't ready to talk about "controversial topics" I got news for you... They're already forming their own ideas, talking about them and making art about them... And I'm here to support that. Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈

On this last day of #pridemonth I wanted to share this particular work of art made this past school year by an 8th grade graduate @LakelandSchool

The art room is often a safe space for students to express themselves, what they believe in, and to explore topics of identity. I was so unbelievably proud of this student for this work and loved listening to her talk about the meaning behind it.

If you haven't seen today's #GoogleDoodle Do yourself a favor & take a look. Then watch this behind the scenes of it's creation- the creators speak to the importance of #Juneteenth & their hope to educate, honor, celebrate and inspire curiosity and joy

"Yes, and the educational system is still racist.

"Art teachers everywhere, regardless of their student populations, can be change agents, take action to better support students of color, and dismantle inequitable systems in their school."

As an artist, this is my tool. Looking forward to sharing with my scholars tomorrow @LakelandSchool #blacklivesmatter #artforsocialchange #socialjusticeart

Have acrylic paint at home? How about glue or dish soap? Check out the tutorial below on how to create an acrylic pour painting & experiment with how those materials react together & create art! No canvas? No problem! I used a cardboard box📦

I'm not crying... You're crying. 😭❤️ This was delivered today in the mail from a neighbor I've never met. Teachers, you matter. And you will always have a special place in your student's heart, for years to come. #BeEncouraged #Allthefeels #thankyouneighbor 🥰
