As educators, how is the space we create in our classrooms guided by the families and community groups that also support our students? Here’s a chance to hear directly from the source.

Slavery in Canada and Black Canadian resilience can be taught at the same time. What matters is the context in which it is taught. This infographic is an example of how we can teach details of the transatlantic slave trade and highlight Black resilience. https://t.co/mKKvlrfPkE

Was a pleasure working with you and your class today. Thank you for all the social justice work you do with your class and creating the space for these critical conservations!

[TDSB_HenryKelseySrPS @TDSB_KelseySrPS]

Thank you @alopros for working with Kelsey students and staff! We appreciate your commitment to leading, teaching, and promoting equity within our school and classrooms. Our Kelsey Team was incredibly engaged in critical dialogue and learning how to move knowledge to action!

[Alana Lowe @alopros]

Powerful group. Looking forward to the way they’ll transform your school community 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

Today was the launch of our school’s Black Student Alliance. Many indicated that they are proud of their black identity👏🏽 and desire to learn more about how to deal with racism and navigate a society which erects barriers and prevents them from full participation. @LC3_TDSB

It is great to see that Black women are at the helm of 3 of the largest urban school boards in Ontario - Toronto, Ottawa, & Peel. We can celebrate that. Let us also ensure that they have the working conditions needed to make the changes that have been laid at their feet.

[Myrtle Henry Sodhi @myrtlesodhi]

Truly a cloudy day with an illuminating silver lining. @CRussellRawlins has inspired and encouraged so many. Her unwavering emphasis and example of excellence, integrity and compassion for students and staff is unmatched. Peel region you are in the best of hands. 🙏🏾💛

Why will CCI be fully destreamed in Sept? It’s the right thing to do. Want to be a plumber or lawyer? As I told my incoming grade 8s in a letter: You both deserve to get the most rigourous education. Stop resisting. Learn how to make it work.

#TDSB tonight creates Centre of Excellence for Black Student Achievement. Long time coming, much needed. Progress being made not fast enough, not in all areas. Centre will be a catalyst for further, much deeper, system wide change. Full report: https://t.co/fXDzrVotcG #topoli

Africville: The Black community bulldozed by the city of Halifax. Nice animation; it is short but very informative. This was created recently by Historica Canada. @LC3_TDSB @tdsb @WCCIDECA #TDSB #education #blackeducation #BSA #LBP #BlackExcellence

“We need to read books that are difficult or unorthodox, that don’t go down easily. Books that force us to confront our self-serving beliefs and make us aware that ‘I’m not racist’ is a slogan of denial.” @DrIbram https://t.co/vQmIjKDj2I
