K-12 coaches @tdsb_cebsa has called on educators to position Black Joy in their pedagogy. As many read the quote from @javonism piece, they were also tasked with thinking about the unlimited possibilities of building positive racial identity within instructional programming.

Racial literacy in K-12 education involves the ability for educators to understand and recognize how race connects to their curriculum; the intersections of power and race; locating and analyze racial systems; and having the appropriate pedagogies/tools to discuss racial topics.

Families of Grade 12 students @tdsb are invited to attend an upcoming Post-Secondary Information Session on October 6, 2021. GTA post-secondary institutions to discuss admissions process, teaching & learning during the pandemic. More info here: https://t.co/l5uC9v9bEP #tdsb
