Who Else is Choosing to Teach Black History Month Lessons?
High school history teacher.
Black History Month is not directly part of my curriculum, but my lessons involve examining primary sources, making historical connections to modern times, and utilizing effective writing methods- which are all part of my subject's standards.
Purple, non-union state. Republican governor. Republican school board. Upper SES school, but an increasingly diverse population.
I am literally the only teacher in the building choosing to incorporate BHM lessons into my teaching.
Anyone else staring down a barrel, but choosing to fight the good fight?
