Reproduced with permission.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I have been building my Black history library since my junior year of college, when I taught third and fourth graders about the Harlem Renaissance. My library has been growing ever since, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/57026/diversifying-your-classroom-book-collections-avoid-these-7-pitfalls\">whether you have a large collection of books or are just starting out\u003c/a>, there are always new titles for you to discover. Here are a few tips for getting started building your own collection of Black history-focused books.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Choose a Black history that interest\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>s y\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>ou\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As I am writing this right now, I cannot choose a single Black history that interests me the most; there are so many to choose from! \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13903957/a-new-doc-shows-how-oaklands-black-cowboys-keep-history-alive\">Cowboys\u003c/a> were my obsession last summer, and now it’s cuisine. But I also love learning about Black \u003ca href=\"https://www.chalkbeat.org/detroit/2023/11/21/former-cass-tech-teachers-rescued-leroy-foster-artwork-now-displayed-cranbrook/\">artists\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/60885/how-to-create-a-stem-dream-culture-for-all-students\">inventions and inventors\u003c/a> will always be an all-time fave. I also want to know everything I can about Africa. Do you get my point?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/62588/how-two-teachers-spark-a-love-of-history-with-their-wardrobes\">history you feel drawn to\u003c/a>, find those books. Reading multiple books about a historical figure or event or theme helps us layer and add nuance to our thinking about Black history. Just the act of reading about multiple Black histories or seeking out several resources around a particular part of history is a way of saying that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/61095/how-a-virginia-educator-teaches-black-history-with-joy\">Black histories are important\u003c/a>, worthy of our attention and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/61220/illinois-teachers-create-black-history-courses-to-fill-in-gaps-in-u-s-history-for-students\">worth digging into\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Find the commonality among books\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As you begin to read and select books, you may start to see common themes or ideas emerging. For example, after reading \u003ca href=\"https://www.agatepublishing.com/9781572842243/crown/\">\u003cem>Crown\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, I remembered that I had two books written and illustrated by Sharee Miller that celebrate hair, \u003ca href=\"https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/sharee-miller/dont-touch-my-hair/9780316562584/?lens=little-brown-books-for-young-readers\">\u003cem>Don’t Touch My Hair\u003c/em>\u003c/a> and\u003ca href=\"https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/sharee-miller/princess-hair/9780316441223/\"> \u003cem>Princess Hair\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. These books became the beginning of a text set around hair (as part of a study of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/62672/using-picture-books-and-classroom-dialogue-to-honor-and-respect-students-name\">identity\u003c/a>) and were a hit with \u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-62779 alignleft\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2023/11/dawnavyn-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"223\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/11/dawnavyn-1.png 445w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/11/dawnavyn-1-160x200.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 223px) 100vw, 223px\">students, who all found ways of connecting to this set.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A single title may end up being a part of multiple text sets around different topics or themes. For example, I sometimes read\u003ca href=\"https://www.harpercollins.com/products/let-the-children-march-monica-clark-robinson?variant=39936194609186\"> \u003cem>Let the Children March\u003c/em>\u003c/a> alongside books about Martin Luther King Jr. because he is featured in that book and the book is set during the Civil Rights Movement. But other times I read it when we learn about Ruby Bridges so that my students can better understand the ways children participated in the Civil Rights Movement. As you begin to see similarities and connections among books, start creating your own collections lists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is important to note that the resources that make up your collections may not always be picture books. Sometimes you may want to include a cookbook, chapter book, piece of art or song. Whatever the topic, educate yourself and then find the resources to educate your students.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Keep an eye out for new favorites\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As you read and share books, you and your students will notice some of the same authors and illustrators who have worked on multiple books about Black histories. For example, I had a class of kindergartners and first graders who could spot illustrations by \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/kadirnelson/\">Kadir Nelson\u003c/a> from a mile away. And as a teacher, I know that I can truly depend on books written by \u003ca href=\"https://cbweatherford.com/books/\">Carole Boston Weatherford\u003c/a> to deliver accurate information about different Black histories, whether about people or events. Keep an eye out for these authors and illustrators via their websites or social media accounts to see what they are currently working on and to get updates on book release dates. There are also great social media accounts that share a wide variety of diverse picture books, including books about Black histories. Social media and book creators’ own websites are great ways to find and stay connected with the latest titles from our favorite authors and illustrators.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Share Black stories\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There is a true love for Black history-focused books in my classroom. My students can access them on the shelf, read them with a buddy and refer to them when making connections to other books we read\u003cem>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/594506/i-am-every-good-thing-by-derrick-barnes-illustrated-by-gordon-c-james/\">\u003cem>I Am Every Good Thing\u003c/em>\u003c/a> is one such book that means a lot to my class. This is a book from our Black joy collection, one we read at the beginning of the year, on a rainy day, during morning meetings, in the middle of the year, during our unit on community, and at the very end of the year as a farewell and affirmation. I have found it in the writing center, a student’s mailbox and in the arms of a sleeping kindergartner in our classroom’s safe place. It’s a book in which my students see themselves and see their classmates, and they see Black histories. It is a book that affirms us, comforts us and challenges us to remember who we are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’d love to be able to list every single book that highlights, celebrates, honors or features Black histories, but that is the work of a lifetime. My hope is that you can find those books, create those collections and read the books that benefit the education of your students, yourself and the community of your classroom. Books expose students to a fuller narrative of Black history. Not just the tragedy and the hardships but also the resistance. Not just the struggle and enslavement but the triumphs and successes, the innovation, brilliance, ingenuity, courage, intellect and dignity. Books that center Black history aren’t just for Black children; they are books for all children.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Dawnavyn’s ultimate Black history book collection\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>This is the collection I’ve been building since my junior year of college, and it is constantly growing.

James\u003c/a> is an early childhood, elementary and Black history educator and researcher from Kansas City, Missouri. She has given presentations and led workshops promoting Black history teaching in early childhood and elementary classrooms. Through consulting, Dawnavyn has supported teachers in numerous school districts as they work to teach Black history year-round through the use of picture books. She believes that picture books centering Black history are one of the greatest ways to bring Black histories into the classroom. She has taught students from kindergarten to fifth grade in Columbia, Missouri, but her favorite years of teaching were her three years with kindergartners. She received her teaching degree from Stephens College and is currently pursuing her doctorate at the University at Buffalo and is a fellow at the Center for K-12 Black History and Racial Literacy Education. Dawnavyn is also the founder of The Black History Club, an organization that empowers and equips teachers and students with information and resources that will benefit themselves, their families and the community through engaging with Black histories.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Children's books are a great way to learn Black histories.

Reproduced with permission.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I have been building my Black history library since my junior year of college, when I taught third and fourth graders about the Harlem Renaissance. My library has been growing ever since, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/57026/diversifying-your-classroom-book-collections-avoid-these-7-pitfalls\">whether you have a large collection of books or are just starting out\u003c/a>, there are always new titles for you to discover. Here are a few tips for getting started building your own collection of Black history-focused books.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Choose a Black history that interest\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>s y\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>ou\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As I am writing this right now, I cannot choose a single Black history that interests me the most; there are so many to choose from! \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13903957/a-new-doc-shows-how-oaklands-black-cowboys-keep-history-alive\">Cowboys\u003c/a> were my obsession last summer, and now it’s cuisine. But I also love learning about Black \u003ca href=\"https://www.chalkbeat.org/detroit/2023/11/21/former-cass-tech-teachers-rescued-leroy-foster-artwork-now-displayed-cranbrook/\">artists\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/60885/how-to-create-a-stem-dream-culture-for-all-students\">inventions and inventors\u003c/a> will always be an all-time fave. I also want to know everything I can about Africa. Do you get my point?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/62588/how-two-teachers-spark-a-love-of-history-with-their-wardrobes\">history you feel drawn to\u003c/a>, find those books. Reading multiple books about a historical figure or event or theme helps us layer and add nuance to our thinking about Black history. Just the act of reading about multiple Black histories or seeking out several resources around a particular part of history is a way of saying that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/61095/how-a-virginia-educator-teaches-black-history-with-joy\">Black histories are important\u003c/a>, worthy of our attention and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/61220/illinois-teachers-create-black-history-courses-to-fill-in-gaps-in-u-s-history-for-students\">worth digging into\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Find the commonality among books\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As you begin to read and select books, you may start to see common themes or ideas emerging. For example, after reading \u003ca href=\"https://www.agatepublishing.com/9781572842243/crown/\">\u003cem>Crown\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, I remembered that I had two books written and illustrated by Sharee Miller that celebrate hair, \u003ca href=\"https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/sharee-miller/dont-touch-my-hair/9780316562584/?lens=little-brown-books-for-young-readers\">\u003cem>Don’t Touch My Hair\u003c/em>\u003c/a> and\u003ca href=\"https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/sharee-miller/princess-hair/9780316441223/\"> \u003cem>Princess Hair\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. These books became the beginning of a text set around hair (as part of a study of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/62672/using-picture-books-and-classroom-dialogue-to-honor-and-respect-students-name\">identity\u003c/a>) and were a hit with \u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-62779 alignleft\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2023/11/dawnavyn-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"223\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/11/dawnavyn-1.png 445w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/11/dawnavyn-1-160x200.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 223px) 100vw, 223px\">students, who all found ways of connecting to this set.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A single title may end up being a part of multiple text sets around different topics or themes. For example, I sometimes read\u003ca href=\"https://www.harpercollins.com/products/let-the-children-march-monica-clark-robinson?variant=39936194609186\"> \u003cem>Let the Children March\u003c/em>\u003c/a> alongside books about Martin Luther King Jr. because he is featured in that book and the book is set during the Civil Rights Movement. But other times I read it when we learn about Ruby Bridges so that my students can better understand the ways children participated in the Civil Rights Movement. As you begin to see similarities and connections among books, start creating your own collections lists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is important to note that the resources that make up your collections may not always be picture books. Sometimes you may want to include a cookbook, chapter book, piece of art or song. Whatever the topic, educate yourself and then find the resources to educate your students.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Keep an eye out for new favorites\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As you read and share books, you and your students will notice some of the same authors and illustrators who have worked on multiple books about Black histories. For example, I had a class of kindergartners and first graders who could spot illustrations by \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/kadirnelson/\">Kadir Nelson\u003c/a> from a mile away. And as a teacher, I know that I can truly depend on books written by \u003ca href=\"https://cbweatherford.com/books/\">Carole Boston Weatherford\u003c/a> to deliver accurate information about different Black histories, whether about people or events. Keep an eye out for these authors and illustrators via their websites or social media accounts to see what they are currently working on and to get updates on book release dates. There are also great social media accounts that share a wide variety of diverse picture books, including books about Black histories. Social media and book creators’ own websites are great ways to find and stay connected with the latest titles from our favorite authors and illustrators.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Share Black stories\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There is a true love for Black history-focused books in my classroom. My students can access them on the shelf, read them with a buddy and refer to them when making connections to other books we read\u003cem>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/594506/i-am-every-good-thing-by-derrick-barnes-illustrated-by-gordon-c-james/\">\u003cem>I Am Every Good Thing\u003c/em>\u003c/a> is one such book that means a lot to my class. This is a book from our Black joy collection, one we read at the beginning of the year, on a rainy day, during morning meetings, in the middle of the year, during our unit on community, and at the very end of the year as a farewell and affirmation. I have found it in the writing center, a student’s mailbox and in the arms of a sleeping kindergartner in our classroom’s safe place. It’s a book in which my students see themselves and see their classmates, and they see Black histories. It is a book that affirms us, comforts us and challenges us to remember who we are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’d love to be able to list every single book that highlights, celebrates, honors or features Black histories, but that is the work of a lifetime. My hope is that you can find those books, create those collections and read the books that benefit the education of your students, yourself and the community of your classroom. Books expose students to a fuller narrative of Black history. Not just the tragedy and the hardships but also the resistance. Not just the struggle and enslavement but the triumphs and successes, the innovation, brilliance, ingenuity, courage, intellect and dignity. Books that center Black history aren’t just for Black children; they are books for all children.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Dawnavyn’s ultimate Black history book collection\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>This is the collection I’ve been building since my junior year of college, and it is constantly growing.

James\u003c/a> is an early childhood, elementary and Black history educator and researcher from Kansas City, Missouri. She has given presentations and led workshops promoting Black history teaching in early childhood and elementary classrooms. Through consulting, Dawnavyn has supported teachers in numerous school districts as they work to teach Black history year-round through the use of picture books. She believes that picture books centering Black history are one of the greatest ways to bring Black histories into the classroom. She has taught students from kindergarten to fifth grade in Columbia, Missouri, but her favorite years of teaching were her three years with kindergartners. She received her teaching degree from Stephens College and is currently pursuing her doctorate at the University at Buffalo and is a fellow at the Center for K-12 Black History and Racial Literacy Education. Dawnavyn is also the founder of The Black History Club, an organization that empowers and equips teachers and students with information and resources that will benefit themselves, their families and the community through engaging with Black histories.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/mindshift/62778/how-to-build-a-black-history-childrens-book-collection-for-your-classroom","authors":["4354"],"categories":["mindshift_21491","mindshift_21014","mindshift_194"],"tags":["mindshift_21534","mindshift_21516","mindshift_999","mindshift_21455","mindshift_21524","mindshift_1013","mindshift_21423","mindshift_20615"],"featImg":"mindshift_62781","label":"mindshift"},"mindshift_62588":{"type":"posts","id":"mindshift_62588","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"mindshift","id":"62588","score":null,"sort":[1698019208000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"how-two-teachers-spark-a-love-of-history-with-their-wardrobes","title":"How Two Teachers Spark a Love of History with Their Wardrobes","publishDate":1698019208,"format":"standard","headTitle":"How Two Teachers Spark a Love of History with Their Wardrobes | KQED","labelTerm":{"site":"mindshift"},"content":"\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On a February morning in 2012, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/goodeteaching/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jazzi Goode\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, an elementary and middle school STEM educator in North Carolina, was having a hard time getting ready for work. With a closet that seemed devoid of suitable school attire, she surveyed her options: sweatshirts, button downs and lots of jeans. Rather than resigning herself to the ordinary, Goode was struck by an idea that would transform her approach to teaching. “I should dress up as Rosa Parks today,” she thought. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Goode put on a button down white shirt, a gray skirt and even a makeshift “prison tag” number to step into the persona of the iconic civil rights activist. After seeing how her spontaneous decision delighted her students, who listened attentively as they read books and learned about Parks’ role in history, Goode started to dress up as prominent figures more often. “It became an everyday thing,” said Goode, who transitioned out of the classroom to work at an education nonprofit this year. “I started to put more energy into it the following year and it just kept going.” Some years she dressed up every day for the month of February, while other years she dressed up three times a week. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Goode eventually inspired third grade teacher \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/learningwithlafayette\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tracey-Ann Lafayette\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to do the same. “I started [dressing up] because I saw Jazzi do it on Instagram,” said Lafayette, who teaches in Connecticut. She began to dress up once a week so her students could guess who she was and read a relevant book. She continues to dress up for the entirety of Black History and Women’s History Month and use it as a springboard for getting students interested in independent reading and exploring iconic figures in more depth.

Additionally, she uses a program called Flip (formerly Flipgrid) to record videos of herself reading picture books about famous figures while dressed up so that students can engage with the stories at home, too.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Keep costs low with planning\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Goode and Lafayette try not to spend too much money putting together their outfits. Goode was able to keep costs low by involving students in creating her outfits, which also increased their engagement. “My students were in the classroom during their lunchtime and recess time, helping me actually physically build and make these costumes,” said Goode. When her students learned about George Crum, who popularized the potato chip, Goode dressed as a chip bag. Her students spent a week collecting chip bags and used them to create a floor length skirt that Goode wore all day. Parents and colleagues, who see how the outfits captivated students, are similarly invested. They lend objects whenever a specific item is needed, such as a tennis racket for Serena Williams or a hot comb to complete a look as Madam C.J. Walker or Annie Turnbo Malone.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_62622\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 184px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-62622\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/IMG_3875-scaled-e1697567666313-800x1067.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"184\" height=\"246\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/IMG_3875-scaled-e1697567666313-800x1067.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/IMG_3875-scaled-e1697567666313-1020x1360.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/IMG_3875-scaled-e1697567666313-160x213.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/IMG_3875-scaled-e1697567666313-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/IMG_3875-scaled-e1697567666313-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/IMG_3875-scaled-e1697567666313-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/IMG_3875-scaled-e1697567666313.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 184px) 100vw, 184px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">When her students learned about George Crum, who popularized the potato chip, Goode dressed as a chip bag.

That’s how she got her Mae Jemison astronaut jumpsuit and her Jackie Robinson jersey. “Now I have them in my trunk at my house for me to be able to use for the future,” she said. Lafayette accepts donations. She got a lab coat from a friend who didn’t need it after she completed a college chemistry class and used it to be Kizzmekia Corbett, a Black immunologist who worked on the coronavirus vaccine.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“My outfits a lot of times are things that I just have in my closet that I arrange in very strategic ways,” Lafayette added. For instance, a blazer, button down shirt and a name tag can be used to embody numerous historical men. She uses her Cricut machine to add small flourishes like Autumn Lockwood’s NFL pass. “If I buy something, I make sure it’s something that could be applicable to multiple people and think about all the different ways that I could use a particular item to get the best bang for my buck,” Lafayette said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Start small and stay in your lane\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For teachers who want to engage their students by dressing up, Goode and Lafayette recommended starting small. “The internet, especially ‘teacher-gram,’ can be such an intimidating place for educators, especially new educators,” said Goode, referring to instagram accounts where teachers post about how they are innovating in the classroom. Each teacher has different capacity and different needs in their classroom, she said. “You are the secret sauce to making whatever you want to happen in your classroom.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lafayette advised teachers to set realistic expectations for themselves by dressing up once a month or once a week. Honing in on a specific category can make things easier too. For example, if a teacher wants to focus on STEM they may dress up as inventions or renowned inventors. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_62626\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 227px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-62626\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/image0-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"303\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/image0-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/image0-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/image0-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/image0-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/image0-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/image0-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/image0-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 227px) 100vw, 227px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lafayette dressed as André Leon Talley, a fashion journalist and the first Black male creative director for Vogue magazine.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">They caution against being too reductive or wearing people’s culture as a costume. A good rule of thumb is if a teacher feels any uncertainty, don’t do it. There are ways to highlight diverse people without being offensive. “I’m not going to come to school in a hijab,” said Lafayette. “But I can make those books available for my kids and have conversations with them all throughout the year.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Goode said wearing t-shirts with figures on them is a low-stress way to introduce certain figures without dressing up. “I had a Tupac shirt. I had a Nina Simone shirt,” said Goode, who wore these when she wasn’t feeling up to creating an entire themed outfit. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For Goode and Lafayette, students’ curiosity about historical and current figures continues beyond the days that they dress up. Lafayette typically packs away her outfits after Black History Month and Women’s History Month. “April 1st is the first time, after a solid eight weeks of wearing all these different outfits, that I come to school dressed like myself again,” she said. Students are usually surprised and disappointed to see her more typical garb. Their reactions tell her that they really care about this activity. She often goes into the next month thinking, “This really made an impact on them.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Two teachers demonstrate the impact of dressing up play in the classroom.

With a closet that seemed devoid of suitable school attire, she surveyed her options: sweatshirts, button downs and lots of jeans. Rather than resigning herself to the ordinary, Goode was struck by an idea that would transform her approach to teaching. “I should dress up as Rosa Parks today,” she thought. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Goode put on a button down white shirt, a gray skirt and even a makeshift “prison tag” number to step into the persona of the iconic civil rights activist. After seeing how her spontaneous decision delighted her students, who listened attentively as they read books and learned about Parks’ role in history, Goode started to dress up as prominent figures more often. “It became an everyday thing,” said Goode, who transitioned out of the classroom to work at an education nonprofit this year. “I started to put more energy into it the following year and it just kept going.” Some years she dressed up every day for the month of February, while other years she dressed up three times a week. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Goode eventually inspired third grade teacher \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/learningwithlafayette\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tracey-Ann Lafayette\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to do the same. “I started [dressing up] because I saw Jazzi do it on Instagram,” said Lafayette, who teaches in Connecticut. She began to dress up once a week so her students could guess who she was and read a relevant book. She continues to dress up for the entirety of Black History and Women’s History Month and use it as a springboard for getting students interested in independent reading and exploring iconic figures in more depth.

Goode was able to keep costs low by involving students in creating her outfits, which also increased their engagement. “My students were in the classroom during their lunchtime and recess time, helping me actually physically build and make these costumes,” said Goode. When her students learned about George Crum, who popularized the potato chip, Goode dressed as a chip bag. Her students spent a week collecting chip bags and used them to create a floor length skirt that Goode wore all day. Parents and colleagues, who see how the outfits captivated students, are similarly invested. They lend objects whenever a specific item is needed, such as a tennis racket for Serena Williams or a hot comb to complete a look as Madam C.J. Walker or Annie Turnbo Malone.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_62622\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 184px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-62622\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/IMG_3875-scaled-e1697567666313-800x1067.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"184\" height=\"246\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/IMG_3875-scaled-e1697567666313-800x1067.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/IMG_3875-scaled-e1697567666313-1020x1360.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/IMG_3875-scaled-e1697567666313-160x213.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/IMG_3875-scaled-e1697567666313-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/IMG_3875-scaled-e1697567666313-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/IMG_3875-scaled-e1697567666313-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/IMG_3875-scaled-e1697567666313.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 184px) 100vw, 184px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">When her students learned about George Crum, who popularized the potato chip, Goode dressed as a chip bag.

That’s how she got her Mae Jemison astronaut jumpsuit and her Jackie Robinson jersey. “Now I have them in my trunk at my house for me to be able to use for the future,” she said. Lafayette accepts donations. She got a lab coat from a friend who didn’t need it after she completed a college chemistry class and used it to be Kizzmekia Corbett, a Black immunologist who worked on the coronavirus vaccine.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“My outfits a lot of times are things that I just have in my closet that I arrange in very strategic ways,” Lafayette added. For instance, a blazer, button down shirt and a name tag can be used to embody numerous historical men. She uses her Cricut machine to add small flourishes like Autumn Lockwood’s NFL pass. “If I buy something, I make sure it’s something that could be applicable to multiple people and think about all the different ways that I could use a particular item to get the best bang for my buck,” Lafayette said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Start small and stay in your lane\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For teachers who want to engage their students by dressing up, Goode and Lafayette recommended starting small. “The internet, especially ‘teacher-gram,’ can be such an intimidating place for educators, especially new educators,” said Goode, referring to instagram accounts where teachers post about how they are innovating in the classroom. Each teacher has different capacity and different needs in their classroom, she said. “You are the secret sauce to making whatever you want to happen in your classroom.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lafayette advised teachers to set realistic expectations for themselves by dressing up once a month or once a week. Honing in on a specific category can make things easier too. For example, if a teacher wants to focus on STEM they may dress up as inventions or renowned inventors. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_62626\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 227px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-62626\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/image0-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"303\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/image0-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/image0-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/image0-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/image0-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/image0-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/image0-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/10/image0-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 227px) 100vw, 227px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lafayette dressed as André Leon Talley, a fashion journalist and the first Black male creative director for Vogue magazine.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">They caution against being too reductive or wearing people’s culture as a costume. A good rule of thumb is if a teacher feels any uncertainty, don’t do it. There are ways to highlight diverse people without being offensive. “I’m not going to come to school in a hijab,” said Lafayette. “But I can make those books available for my kids and have conversations with them all throughout the year.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Goode said wearing t-shirts with figures on them is a low-stress way to introduce certain figures without dressing up. “I had a Tupac shirt. I had a Nina Simone shirt,” said Goode, who wore these when she wasn’t feeling up to creating an entire themed outfit. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For Goode and Lafayette, students’ curiosity about historical and current figures continues beyond the days that they dress up. Lafayette typically packs away her outfits after Black History Month and Women’s History Month. “April 1st is the first time, after a solid eight weeks of wearing all these different outfits, that I come to school dressed like myself again,” she said. Students are usually surprised and disappointed to see her more typical garb. Their reactions tell her that they really care about this activity. She often goes into the next month thinking, “This really made an impact on them.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/mindshift/62588/how-two-teachers-spark-a-love-of-history-with-their-wardrobes","authors":["11721"],"categories":["mindshift_21357","mindshift_20579","mindshift_194","mindshift_193"],"tags":["mindshift_21534","mindshift_999","mindshift_21479","mindshift_21371","mindshift_1013","mindshift_21423","mindshift_498","mindshift_20616","mindshift_20557","mindshift_21007"],"featImg":"mindshift_62621","label":"mindshift"},"mindshift_61220":{"type":"posts","id":"mindshift_61220","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"mindshift","id":"61220","score":null,"sort":[1678937744000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"illinois-teachers-create-black-history-courses-to-fill-in-gaps-in-u-s-history-for-students","title":"Illinois teachers create Black history courses to fill in gaps in U.S. history for students","publishDate":1678937744,"format":"standard","headTitle":"MindShift | KQED News","labelTerm":{"site":"mindshift"},"content":"\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was \u003ca href=\"https://chicago.chalkbeat.org/2023/3/13/23638675/illinois-african-american-history-curriculum-debate-black-church-great-migration-civil-rights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"canonical noopener\">originally published\u003c/a> by Chalkbeat.

I love how my Black students, in particular, can’t tell the difference between my African American studies class and my American history class,” said Kannan, who teaches a diverse group of students. “Like they just see it as one in the same and it’s so beautiful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Illinois, a 1990 state law requires schools to teach a unit of African American history. But more than 30 years after the Illinois law passed, gaps in the teaching of Black history remain. The law lacks an enforcement mechanism, and does not include a way to track when Black history is taught during the school year and what students are learning about it; there are no required textbooks or curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All that has left teachers like Kannan to create their own lesson plans and to push their districts to strengthen the curriculum to include key points in Black history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the Illinois law represents a sharp contrast to what is happening in Republican-led states such as \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxdbwb/stope-woke-act-florida-crt-bill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Florida\u003c/a>, \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://tn.chalkbeat.org/2023/1/12/23552718/implicit-bias-tennessee-school-employee-training-legislature\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tennessee\u003c/a>, and \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.texastribune.org/2021/12/02/texas-critical-race-theory-law/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Texas\u003c/a>, where legislators have passed so-called “anti-critical race theory” bills that limit how race and gender issues are taught in classrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Florida Gov.

The unit she developed is called “No Longer Silent: The Genius Within Us.” In the unit, Tate’s students read books by Zora Neale Hurston, a Black American writer, anthropologist, and filmmaker who wrote about issues facing Black people, and became a key figure in the Harlem Renaissance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurston’s work especially resonated with Black girls in Tate’s classroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My Black girls last year connected with Hurston’s work during the Harlem Renaissance and her colorful personality,” said Tate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Tate has noticed all of her students engaging more in the material.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve noticed that the students’ ability to engage in perspective-taking and to have empathy has increased,” Tate said. “So I have fewer conflicts and personal conflicts and fewer behavior issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Chicago teacher struggles to use district’s history curriculum\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While Tate had a smooth transition teaching Black history, some Illinois teachers struggle to incorporate Black history into a strict district curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Teachers Academy in Chicago had a robust Black history curriculum for several years, according to sixth grade social science teacher Jessica Kibblewhite.

But more than 30 years after the Illinois law passed, gaps in the teaching of Black history remain. The law lacks an enforcement mechanism, and does not include a way to track when Black history is taught during the school year and what students are learning about it; there are no required textbooks or curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All that has left teachers like Kannan to create their own lesson plans and to push their districts to strengthen the curriculum to include key points in Black history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the Illinois law represents a sharp contrast to what is happening in Republican-led states such as \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxdbwb/stope-woke-act-florida-crt-bill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Florida\u003c/a>, \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://tn.chalkbeat.org/2023/1/12/23552718/implicit-bias-tennessee-school-employee-training-legislature\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tennessee\u003c/a>, and \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.texastribune.org/2021/12/02/texas-critical-race-theory-law/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Texas\u003c/a>, where legislators have passed so-called “anti-critical race theory” bills that limit how race and gender issues are taught in classrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Florida Gov.

J.B. Pritzker pushed back against DeSantis and others seeking to limit the teaching of African American history. Pritzker said a virulent strain of nationalism across the country is leading to pushes for censorship and attacks on school board members and librarians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s an ideological battle by the right-wing hiding behind the claim that they would protect our children,” said Pritzker, “but whose real intention is to marginalize people and ideas they don’t like.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Illinois requires Black history in schools\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In Illinois, the teaching of Black history has been encouraged rather than limited.

One of their main debates: “What should Black studies include?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The uprisings against police brutality that took place across the country, and Tate’s district’s plans to update social science curriculum in the fall of 2020, motivated her to apply to write a unit on Black history.

The unit she developed is called “No Longer Silent: The Genius Within Us.” In the unit, Tate’s students read books by Zora Neale Hurston, a Black American writer, anthropologist, and filmmaker who wrote about issues facing Black people, and became a key figure in the Harlem Renaissance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurston’s work especially resonated with Black girls in Tate’s classroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My Black girls last year connected with Hurston’s work during the Harlem Renaissance and her colorful personality,” said Tate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Tate has noticed all of her students engaging more in the material.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve noticed that the students’ ability to engage in perspective-taking and to have empathy has increased,” Tate said. “So I have fewer conflicts and personal conflicts and fewer behavior issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Chicago teacher struggles to use district’s history curriculum\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While Tate had a smooth transition teaching Black history, some Illinois teachers struggle to incorporate Black history into a strict district curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Teachers Academy in Chicago had a robust Black history curriculum for several years, according to sixth grade social science teacher Jessica Kibblewhite.

Among them, a Black history bingo game, talent show, non-alcoholic paint n' sip, a spirit day dedicated to cultural dress, another to HBCUs, an assembly dedicated to go-go music, a Black history parade, and finally, a black-out, where the charge is simple: wear all black.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impulse to center jubilation comes from Felicia Edmunds, Forbes' elementary school gym teacher who devoted the month of February to extracurricular activities that went beyond traditional lesson plans: dancing, singing, reading poetry and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In part, it's Ms. Edmunds' example that motivates Forbes today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's so many ways to bring joy out of the curriculum,\" she says. \"You just have to be willing to see it and be willing to do it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Josephine Bangura is a senior at Freedom who is enrolled in the African-American studies elective that Forbes teaches upperclassmen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says that the class is a welcome departure from what it's usually like to learn Black history in school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She genuinely makes it fun,\" Bangura says of her teacher. \"It's like, wow, I really get to learn about this history and enjoy it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The way Forbes teaches leads to a richer understanding of where the country is today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not only are we learning about certain history, we're learning about exactly why these things happened and how they contribute to America as a whole,\" she continued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the child of Sierra Leonean immigrants, Bangura also says it means a lot that Forbes highlights stories from the entire Black diaspora. The same goes for this February's Black History Month programming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Everyone was included,\" she says about a parade that Forbes organized to punctuate the first Friday of the month. \"Seeing so many different cultures being represented at a big parade and celebrating within the whole diaspora was really nice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a teacher, Forbes says ensuring that students are enjoying their experience is the whole point. This goes for everything that she teaches, not just Black history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's really hard to teach a child when you push their identity off and don't allow them to just be and to speak and to share and to celebrate,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She knows because this was the experience that she had in middle school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I remember sitting in the classroom with so many questions because it felt like there were so many gaps in the curriculum,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it came to slavery, the Civil War, or even Reconstruction, she learned bullet points, not real stories about the real lives that Black Americans lived throughout history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Forbes has made space for exactly that in her own classroom.

The College Board’s process of convening scholars and teachers at the high school and college levels to construct the course wasn’t unusual either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If this would have happened without the political fanfare, we might not be giving it that much attention,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is different now is the intensity of the Republicans’ focus on \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.chalkbeat.org/2022/9/23/23367419/school-censorship-race-lgbtq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how race and gender are taught in schools\u003c/a>, and the way figures like DeSantis have turned critiques more often hashed out in state standards committee hearings into a political spectacle. Eighteen states have legislated or imposed changes to how race and racism can be taught since January 2021, according to \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.edweek.org/policy-politics/map-where-critical-race-theory-is-under-attack/2021/06\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Education Week’s tracker\u003c/a>.

Schools also have faced \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/12/books/book-bans-libraries.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a new wave of challenges\u003c/a> to the availability of school library books.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The political context where we’re in right now — there is this very direct, extreme focus on any kind of social awareness, on any kind of social action that focuses on how human beings in this country have been dehumanized, and there is an attempt to water down that history,” Jackson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because of all of that, on Feb. 1, the first day of Black History Month, the announcement that this curriculum has been revised, and the revision excludes really important, key people and thought leaders — it is disheartening,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The curriculum framework for an AP course is in many ways a particularly vulnerable target for political opposition, since it is a rare piece of public schooling in America that is nationally standardized. Generally state bodies adopt standards that guide teaching of various subjects, while local school districts and school leaders choose textbooks and curriculum, and individual teachers make daily choices about what materials to use and topics to emphasize.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Textbooks in California and Texas, for example, \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/01/12/us/texas-vs-california-history-textbooks.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vary in their treatment\u003c/a> of topics like Reconstruction, the period immediately following the Civil War. And debates about topics like sex education, climate change, and evolution have flared in parts of the country for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a number of cities, including Newark and Philadelphia, African American history is a curriculum staple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Philadelphia has \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://philadelphia.chalkbeat.org/2022/3/8/22967115/philadelphia-public-schools-african-american-history-course-update-critical-race-theory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">required all students\u003c/a> to take an African American history course since 2005 in order to graduate. There, officials don’t shy away from teaching upsetting history. The district’s soon-to-be-updated curriculum will include a unit on one of the most fraught racial incidents in the history of Philadelphia: the city’s standoffs with Black activists who were part of the MOVE organization. In 1978 a \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://collaborativehistory.gse.upenn.edu/stories/move\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">police officer was killed\u003c/a> in a shootout; in 1985, the \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/2019/8/8/20747198/philadelphia-bombing-1985-move\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bombing \u003c/a>of the MOVE house by the police resulted in the deaths of 11 people, including children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our official position is that we encourage teachers to approach controversial issues in the classroom,” said Ismael Jimenez, the district’s director of social studies curriculum who taught history in the district, including that course, for 12 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Established courses in many districts emerged from decades of activism and come with their own history of debate about how they should be taught. Last year, Detroit’s public school district chose new curriculum materials for its elective African American history course that the superintendent \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://detroit.chalkbeat.org/2022/6/13/23163676/detroit-school-district-black-history-365-curriculum-social-studies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">noted\u003c/a> emphasized “strength, joy and achievement,” without the frequent overemphasis on slavery as the starting point of Black history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Newark, New Jersey, where a 2002 state law required the teaching of African American history, the district didn’t offer a complete \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://newark.chalkbeat.org/2022/5/12/23068537/newark-curriculum-african-american-history-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">middle and high school curriculum\u003c/a> on the subject until 2021 – nearly 20 years later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bashir Muhammad Ptah Akinyele teaches history and Africana studies at Weequahic High School in Newark and now uses the district’s Amistad curriculum. “I’m appreciative of the conversation. I think it’s needed,” he said of the debate about the AP course content. “But it’s not something new.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether to give space to figures some find radical is always a piece of that discussion, even in places with legal protections, he said. In other states, he knows those battles are even tougher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s still a struggle to factually document the history of Black people in this country,” he said. Often when schools introduce the subject, he said, “They want something safe, comfortable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Green said he wasn’t surprised to see the course spark national backlash, adding that historically, introducing an African American studies curriculum has “always been a struggle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He pointed to student movements in the late 1960s, where protestors clashed with university officials and police in an effort to establish ethnic studies programs. “It was definitely attacked,” he said of African American studies at the time, adding the efforts came under fire from local conservative leaders. “There was bloodshed behind the introduction of that curriculum.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The College Board’s new curriculum suggests that many of the topics now gone from the course framework can still be the focus of student projects — with a sample list of topics including, for example, “Gay life and expression in Black communities,” and “Reparations debates in the U.S./ the Americas.” Tracy and Green, who are teaching the pilot AP course, both noted that a curriculum doesn’t dictate every move teachers make in a classroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s still a lot of built-in flexibility,” Tracy said. “Although there may not be a very specific lesson on Black Lives Matter, there still is an opportunity for students to research it. And at the end of the day, I don’t know how you can \u003ci>not\u003c/i> talk about it. How do you talk about the Black freedom struggle without talking about Black Lives Matter?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Jackson, Ridgeway, and others, the revisions remain disappointing — and suggest the organization folded to political influence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For a long time, before cities and school districts began to teach ethnic studies and African American history, our students were subjected to a history that was very much whitewashed,” Ridgeway said. “Removing these things is unacceptable. It waters down our history and it hides the truth from our students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is still heartening, Jackson said, is that the years ahead could see more students than ever getting a deep exposure to the topic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact that we now have an AP African American history course, I think it’s a wonderful thing,” she said. “I think students will take it, they will be engaged, they will be excited about the content, they will share it with their friends, and their friends will want to take it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When people have access, it opens up new curiosities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Dale Mezzacappa contributed reporting. \u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Julian Shen-Berro is a reporter covering national issues.

Ron DeSantis said the state’s schools wouldn’t teach the class, alleging that it violated a 2022 state law that restricts how race and racism are taught. \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://mobile.twitter.com/senmannydiazjr/status/1616565048767385601?s=12&t=LcwBTcSQxHlaXmggDCz_ww\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">He and other state officials pointed\u003c/a> to the inclusion of subjects like Black queer studies, the debate over reparations for slavery, and the Black Lives Matter movement in criticizing the curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, after the College Board released a final \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/ap-african-american-studies-course-framework.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">curriculum framework\u003c/a> Wednesday that removed much of the criticized content, some protested that the course had been watered down — while educators who are piloting the class and others like it stressed the vital role it can play in schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I compel anyone who has questions about this course to actually take the time to read the curriculum, spend time in classrooms, and talk to students,” said Melissa Tracy, a teacher at Odyssey Charter School in Delaware who is teaching a pilot version of the AP course this year. “What many students will tell you is, ‘This is the first time in my entire educational experience where I actually get to learn this content — because I was never taught it.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tony Green, a teacher at Bishop O’Dowd High School in Oakland, California who is participating in the pilot, said it’s a more comprehensive course than any high school class that has preceded it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the ideal situation for a teacher who’s teaching African American studies, because the resources have already been gathered,” said Green, who has taught Black history for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The College Board has denied that DeSantis or any states influenced the revision process, saying the changes were \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/01/us/college-board-advanced-placement-african-american-studies.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pedagogical and based on feedback from educators\u003c/a>, the New York Times reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Curriculum revisions, especially to a new course, aren’t unusual, noted Tambra Jackson, a professor and dean of the School of Education at Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis who focuses on social justice in education. The College Board’s process of convening scholars and teachers at the high school and college levels to construct the course wasn’t unusual either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If this would have happened without the political fanfare, we might not be giving it that much attention,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is different now is the intensity of the Republicans’ focus on \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.chalkbeat.org/2022/9/23/23367419/school-censorship-race-lgbtq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how race and gender are taught in schools\u003c/a>, and the way figures like DeSantis have turned critiques more often hashed out in state standards committee hearings into a political spectacle. Eighteen states have legislated or imposed changes to how race and racism can be taught since January 2021, according to \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.edweek.org/policy-politics/map-where-critical-race-theory-is-under-attack/2021/06\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Education Week’s tracker\u003c/a>. Many have also restricted discussion of sexism and LGBTQ content. Schools also have faced \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/12/books/book-bans-libraries.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a new wave of challenges\u003c/a> to the availability of school library books.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The political context where we’re in right now — there is this very direct, extreme focus on any kind of social awareness, on any kind of social action that focuses on how human beings in this country have been dehumanized, and there is an attempt to water down that history,” Jackson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because of all of that, on Feb. 1, the first day of Black History Month, the announcement that this curriculum has been revised, and the revision excludes really important, key people and thought leaders — it is disheartening,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The curriculum framework for an AP course is in many ways a particularly vulnerable target for political opposition, since it is a rare piece of public schooling in America that is nationally standardized. Generally state bodies adopt standards that guide teaching of various subjects, while local school districts and school leaders choose textbooks and curriculum, and individual teachers make daily choices about what materials to use and topics to emphasize.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Textbooks in California and Texas, for example, \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/01/12/us/texas-vs-california-history-textbooks.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vary in their treatment\u003c/a> of topics like Reconstruction, the period immediately following the Civil War. And debates about topics like sex education, climate change, and evolution have flared in parts of the country for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a number of cities, including Newark and Philadelphia, African American history is a curriculum staple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Philadelphia has \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://philadelphia.chalkbeat.org/2022/3/8/22967115/philadelphia-public-schools-african-american-history-course-update-critical-race-theory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">required all students\u003c/a> to take an African American history course since 2005 in order to graduate. There, officials don’t shy away from teaching upsetting history. The district’s soon-to-be-updated curriculum will include a unit on one of the most fraught racial incidents in the history of Philadelphia: the city’s standoffs with Black activists who were part of the MOVE organization. In 1978 a \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://collaborativehistory.gse.upenn.edu/stories/move\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">police officer was killed\u003c/a> in a shootout; in 1985, the \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/2019/8/8/20747198/philadelphia-bombing-1985-move\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bombing \u003c/a>of the MOVE house by the police resulted in the deaths of 11 people, including children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our official position is that we encourage teachers to approach controversial issues in the classroom,” said Ismael Jimenez, the district’s director of social studies curriculum who taught history in the district, including that course, for 12 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Established courses in many districts emerged from decades of activism and come with their own history of debate about how they should be taught. Last year, Detroit’s public school district chose new curriculum materials for its elective African American history course that the superintendent \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://detroit.chalkbeat.org/2022/6/13/23163676/detroit-school-district-black-history-365-curriculum-social-studies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">noted\u003c/a> emphasized “strength, joy and achievement,” without the frequent overemphasis on slavery as the starting point of Black history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Newark, New Jersey, where a 2002 state law required the teaching of African American history, the district didn’t offer a complete \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://newark.chalkbeat.org/2022/5/12/23068537/newark-curriculum-african-american-history-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">middle and high school curriculum\u003c/a> on the subject until 2021 – nearly 20 years later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bashir Muhammad Ptah Akinyele teaches history and Africana studies at Weequahic High School in Newark and now uses the district’s Amistad curriculum. “I’m appreciative of the conversation. I think it’s needed,” he said of the debate about the AP course content. “But it’s not something new.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether to give space to figures some find radical is always a piece of that discussion, even in places with legal protections, he said. In other states, he knows those battles are even tougher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s still a struggle to factually document the history of Black people in this country,” he said. Often when schools introduce the subject, he said, “They want something safe, comfortable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Green said he wasn’t surprised to see the course spark national backlash, adding that historically, introducing an African American studies curriculum has “always been a struggle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He pointed to student movements in the late 1960s, where protestors clashed with university officials and police in an effort to establish ethnic studies programs. “It was definitely attacked,” he said of African American studies at the time, adding the efforts came under fire from local conservative leaders. “There was bloodshed behind the introduction of that curriculum.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The College Board’s new curriculum suggests that many of the topics now gone from the course framework can still be the focus of student projects — with a sample list of topics including, for example, “Gay life and expression in Black communities,” and “Reparations debates in the U.S./ the Americas.” Tracy and Green, who are teaching the pilot AP course, both noted that a curriculum doesn’t dictate every move teachers make in a classroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s still a lot of built-in flexibility,” Tracy said. “Although there may not be a very specific lesson on Black Lives Matter, there still is an opportunity for students to research it. And at the end of the day, I don’t know how you can \u003ci>not\u003c/i> talk about it. How do you talk about the Black freedom struggle without talking about Black Lives Matter?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Jackson, Ridgeway, and others, the revisions remain disappointing — and suggest the organization folded to political influence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For a long time, before cities and school districts began to teach ethnic studies and African American history, our students were subjected to a history that was very much whitewashed,” Ridgeway said. “Removing these things is unacceptable. It waters down our history and it hides the truth from our students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is still heartening, Jackson said, is that the years ahead could see more students than ever getting a deep exposure to the topic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact that we now have an AP African American history course, I think it’s a wonderful thing,” she said. “I think students will take it, they will be engaged, they will be excited about the content, they will share it with their friends, and their friends will want to take it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When people have access, it opens up new curiosities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Dale Mezzacappa contributed reporting. \u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Julian Shen-Berro is a reporter covering national issues.

When Duke Ellington was young, his parents wanted him to learn to play the piano. Although he began lessons, he was soon lured away by his love of baseball. Later, as a teenager he heard the new musical style called \"ragtime\" and he was inspired once again to learn to play piano. Soon, he created his own style of music using “hops” and “slides” on the piano.

This video segment from Weston Woods presents the story of Duke by Andrea Davis Pinkney, illustrated by Brian Pinkney, about Duke Ellington, one of the founding fathers of jazz. When Duke Ellington was young, his parents wanted him to learn to play the piano. Although he began lessons, he was soon lured away by his love of baseball. Later, as a teenager he heard the new musical style called \"ragtime\" and he was inspired once again to learn to play piano. Soon, he created his own style of music using “hops” and “slides” on the piano. He became a popular entertainer with a flair that attracted many fans. \u003cstrong>Grades 1-4\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ca.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/iml04.soc.ush.civil.parks/rosa-parks/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>HISTORY: ROSA PARKS' CHALLENGE\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enhance classroom discussion around the Civil Rights Movement with this interview of Rosa Parks and ask your students to examine her role in the struggle for racial equality.
