“What do your Black students need to feel safe and valued in their learning space right now? What do your non-Black students need to better understand how to provide support and stand against injustice? What do your students want you to know about their understanding of justice and desire to take action? What are their fears in this moment? What gives them hope?”
In this time of mourning and rage, it can be difficult to know how to best support students, especially from afar. As a community, we have found inspiration, guidance, and solidarity in the following resources and articles from Teaching Tolerance and hope that you will find them helpful as well:
✍️ “Affirming Black Lives Without Inducing Trauma” resources: https://www.tolerance.org/…/may-8-2020-affirming-black-live…
✍️ “Uprisings and Education” letter from Teaching Tolerance staff: https://www.tolerance.org/magazine/uprisings-and-education
