Episode 67 - Black History: Going Deeper Than the Month of February
Laura and Matt GrundlerAshley Washington M.ED
Incorporating meaningful representation in curriculum is an ongoing commitment that helps classrooms reflect the many cultures, experiences, and communities of learners. Continuing these conversations beyond a designated “appreciation month” helps ensure students feel seen, valued, and represented throughout the year. In this episode, The Creativity Department speaks with Ashley Washington, M.Ed., an instructional coach in Plano ISD. Together, they explore the question, “If excellence is only celebrated once every 12 months, how do students know the greatness that lies within them the rest of the year?” A curriculum that reflects a broad range of voices and experiences is an important step toward helping every student recognize their potential.
