See Us, Learn Us: Teaching About the Black Canadian Experience

"If we want to understand what Canada is and what it could be, we have to understand what it has been. Knowing the Black Canadian experience really allows us to fill in a lot of the gaps in our often-romanticized national narrative."
– Greg Birkett

Canada’s strength lies in its rich mosaic of cultures. Although this is reflected in school populations, it is not always reflected in the curriculum. As a result, many students complete their academic careers with limited knowledge about the important contributions and experiences of Black Canadians. This engaging and interactive webinar series will provide educators and administrators with the historical foundation to address and unpack the current realities of the Black Canadian experience. In addition, innovative and creative resources, and ideas necessary to learn and teach about the Black Canadian experience will be made available. Educators will see how a cross-curricular approach to the representation of the Black Canadian experience will enhance the education of our students, with the ultimate goal of making students more aware of how they can put their learning into action and continue moving the conversation forward.

All participants will receive a professional learning certificate upon completion of this series.
