Yesterday, I started a mini-curriculum collection using Stevie Wonder Songs as anchor texts!
These lessons center three themes: Identity, Resistance and Social Change/Hope
#CultivatingGeniusandJoy
EnJOY! Listen to the songs, teach at home or in classes!

Many white women ask me what do when the n-word comes in up their novels or instruction. We know the deficit ways this has been taught- here is what I would say to my students as an ELA teacher.

What would happen if making the world a better place and developing student joy were the ultimate goals for education? And policy makers spent their time in these two areas. How beautiful time would be spent.

The mere addition of multicultural books does not mean the curriculum is culturally and historically responsive. Access and representation alone does not equate to full equity, but it is a start.

I just learned that Cultivating Genius has been Scholastic's top selling (and fastest) book. 52,000 copies in 13 months. Thank you (again) for the support and love.

Can we please stop regurgitating old models/practices that didn't work 20 years ago (i.e., longer school days; balanced literacy) and expecting new results? Stop calling non-excellent practices, "fresh" and "innovative." Let me know if I can write a school board policy for you<3

Often times people ask me what does the CHRE HILL Model look like in Pre-K-2 grade levels. Here is a list of lesson plans for read alouds using wonderful multicultural literature. Adapt and revise as needed! Share with your children and teachers!

Schools are funny when they tell me children are too young in elementary school to learn anti-racism when they turn around and teach Cinderella. Cinderella is the most oppressive and violent story. But youth can't handle anti-racism. Stop.

A teacher told me today: Dr. Muhammad, when you write lesson plans, it's like watching a musician compose a beautiful song.
What a beautiful compliment. I love teachers. I love curriculum. I love beautiful music.

I am sick and tired of those teachers inflicting violence on Black women facilitators who present on justice. I am sick and tired of those superintendents writing "statements" w/ no real systemic action. I am sick and tired of those brothers who are silent in the harm of sisters

If someone thinks that you have to sacrifice rigor for joy, criticality & identity, then that person doesn't fully know pedagogy, research, or Black historical excellence. Can our leaders enter a classroom & teach standards, identity, consciousness, & joy together?

Black history tells us that educators don’t need to empower youth or give them brilliance or genius. Instead, the power & genius is already in them. Genius is brilliance, intellect, ability, & artsy that have been flowing through their minds & spirits across generations.

Schools and texts should help students to know themselves, their beauty, brilliance, and genius. What text is in your curriculum to help aid in this beautiful process?

bell hooks taught us to transgress-to break free from those educational policies, practices and models that haven't served all children well. So how will you transgress? What do you need to break away from?

The issue with the rhetoric of "learning loss" presumes that students were only at a loss during a pandemic, yet children and uniquely Black children have been at an educational loss (and identity & joy loss) since the inception of this country being colonized.
