Things To Love This February: Black History Month Resources

With February being Black History Month, mid-month is a good time to check in with where you are with educating both your students and yourself about the importance of black history 

The Center for Racial Justice in Education has a treasure trove with at least 80 links on these subjects:

• How Do We Celebrate Black History Month? Lesson Plans and Curriculum Resources for Educators
• Do We Need Black History Month? The Underrepresentation and Miseducation of Black Stories, Experiences, and Histories in Schools
• Why Teach Black Lives Matter in Schools? (Think Pieces)
• Where Are Afro-Latinos Represented in School Curricula?
• How Do We Center Black Women and Black Girls in Our Schools?
• How Do We Center Black LGBTQ Experiences?
• As a Parent, What Are Ways I Can Engage My Family in Black History Month?:

Other good places to check in on:

• Microsoft's Education blog post "Resources for celebrating Black History Month in 2024

• We Are Teachers' "7 Fresh Ideas for Black History Month"
