Professional Learning Communities and Collaborations

BLM at Schools: Join the Community Blog

Do you teach a great lesson around one of the 13 principles of the Black Lives Matter movement? Are you trying to revamp your "classroom management" approach to reflect an abolitionist stance? Struggling to refocus your curriculum with an antiracist lens?


We want to hear from you! 

BLM at Schools NYC is starting a community blog for educators to share, reflect and engage with each other on antiracist pedagogy throughout this Year of Purpose. Submissions need not offer neatly packaged curriculum or rosy success stories (although those are welcome, too!). We're building a space for educators from across NYC to challenge, support and inspire one another as we work to passionately affirm that Black Lives Matter in every lesson, every class, every day. Please send submissions (1000 words max.) to Naomi, nrsharlin@gmail.com and Steph, skadison@bhsec.bard.edu
