As students return to school this month, we're exc As students return to school this month, we're excited to launch our fall trainings to support educators in their racial equity practice in the classroom. Click the link in our bio to register for our first training this fall, "Talking About Race in the Classroom" for educators this weekend. Virtual Talking About Race in the Classroom: A Training for K-12 Educators Committed to Racial Justice - How are we thinking about and addressing racism during COVID-19 & remote learning? - How do we have conversations about race and racism with our students? - How do we ensure racial equity in our classrooms and schools? - As educators, how do we use this moment to create school norms, policies, and practices that support racial justice? Center for Racial Justice in Education invites you to participate in a 2-day interactive and virtual professional development training for educators seeking to deepen their capacity to engage in conversations about race in K-12 educational settings. Through this training, educators will: strengthen their analysis of how racism manifests in our schools and classrooms, enhance their understanding of how racism affects children, practice using tools and language to address race and racism in the classroom, & gain strategies to support a school-wide culture of respect, equity, and inclusivity.

At the Center for Racial Justice in Education, we At the Center for Racial Justice in Education, we believe that the histories, stories, and voices of Black people should be centered, honored, and uplifted in school curricula every day. We also acknowledge the importance, relevance and origins of Black History Month. In 1926, Carter D. Woodson and the ASALH (Association for the Study of African American Life and History) launched “Negro History Week” to promote the studying of African American history as a discipline and to celebrate the accomplishments of African Americans. Today, we still see the absence of Black history and experience in our textbooks, required readings, STEM, and overall curriculum of our educational system. As we enter February, Center for Racial Justice in Education is providing resources to be used beyond the scope of this one-month. Swipe through to see a summary of our resources in this guide, and visit our website for further reading! #blackhistorymonth #BHM
