#Representationmatters. @EdTrust just published the sixth part of our series on representation in children's books. Dr. Sabrina Wesley Nero, wrote a beautiful piece about the need to provide windows, mirrors, and canvasses for children and the importance of sharing the rich, often-untaught narratives?of Black American history that emphasize resistance, excellence, and bravery. And check out the fantastic book recommendations from Teaching for Change! https://lnkd.in/ebTYFJYG

This article clearly states that the goal of diversity and inclusion efforts is “creating safe and welcoming environments for all students, regardless of their background.” These backgrounds include economic background, veteran status, foster care and adoptive background, and more. But that’s all it is: a desire for ALL students to feel safe and welcome. If you see a politician decrying DEI, ask them—sincerely—what the problem with diversity is. Don’t be deceived by talk of propaganda or indoctrination. Make them get to the point: What is wrong with ensuring access and success for all?

Black History Month - Scholarship Spotlight Rich Milner explains, “[T]eachers can and do improve when they allow students to help them examine, reflect on, and improve teaching practices....Addressing opportunity gaps is difficult work....But every single student in our schools should be viewed as a vessel of knowledge, knowing, and potential.” To learn more about how educators can both support and learn from their students, check out Milner’s book, Start Where You Are, But Don't Stay There: Understanding Diversity, Opportunity Gaps, and Teaching in Today's Classrooms. https://lnkd.in/eBDVDNaD

It’s Civic Learning Week, and one of our AHA Learn webinars is a featured event in this year’s festivities. Join us for “American Lesson Plan: Mapping the Landscape of Secondary US History Education.” Thursday, March 14, 2 p.m. ET "What are schoolchildren being taught about our nation's history?!" Among education reformers and activists, the question raises alarm, often grounded in broad assumptions about the possibility for politics to shape what happens in the classroom. About two years ago, the American Historical Association decided to take the question more literally. In the multistage Mapping the Landscape of Secondary US History Education project, an AHA research team set out to describe the contours of a vast and varied terrain—an empirical grounding for ongoing debates and deliberations about the teaching of the American past. After a year and a half of interviewing social studies administrators, surveying US history teachers, coding state legislation, and appraising district-level curricula, the team has some answers. In this session, the Mapping research team share their research from the field—and engage webinar participants in a discussion of how history's civic function in K–12 education is faring in a polarized moment. #civiclearningweek Register to watch live or access a recording after the event:

???? Unleashing Creativity: The Integral Role of Arts in Education ???? While STEM is crucial, let's not forget the importance of the arts in the American curriculum. Arts education—spanning music, literature, visual arts, and performance—is key to developing well-rounded individuals. It nurtures creativity, emotional intelligence, and cultural awareness. Incorporating the arts into our education system enriches students' learning experiences and encourages them to express themselves uniquely. It's time to advocate for a balanced education that values both the sciences and the arts for holistic development. ? What impact has arts education had on you or your children? Let's celebrate the transformative power of the arts in shaping imaginative minds. #ArtsInEducation #HolisticDevelopment #CreativeMinds #CulturalAwareness #BalancedEducation
