One Student at a Time

One of the resources I share in Finding Your Blind Spots is a list of people and accounts to follow on Social Media. If you are an educator who has not tapped in to micro and macro social media platform PDs, here are a few to get you started. History and first-person information on Indigenous American, LGBTQ+, Arabic, and Black communities: @arabicmclovin (Tiktok) @Antiracistcalendar (Instagram) @lgbt_history (Instagram) #Nativetiktok (Tiktok) #LGBTHM (Twitter) Authors, educators, organizations and hashtags providing information and resources to support teaching diverse populations: @DrIbram-Ibram X. Kendi (Twitter) @Blairimani-Blair Amadeus Imani (Twitter) @WorldProfessor-Walter D. Greason (Twitter) @adamlevineperes-Adam Levine Peres (Instagram) @Bree.newsome-Bree Newsome Bass (Instagram) @learnforjustice-Learning for Justice (Instagram and Twitter) @AdamLevinePeres-also on YouTube (Instagram) #HispanicHistory #BlackHistory #indigeneous #Asiantiktok #Indiantiktok (platform agnostic) As you scroll, learn more about the changing world around us, in order to serve the families in our communities better. And when you think of big terms like 'systemic racism', 'culturally responsive pedagogies' or 'gender and identity bias', reduce them to the smallest cog in the wheel. If we not only teach our babies to love other babies, but also learn to better serve the one student standing in front of us, systems will change. The wall comes down one brick at a time.
