AOTL is proud to celebrate Black History Month as we commemorate the history, legacy, and achievements of Black Canadians.

To bring focus on Black history, ADSB invites you to join the Nelson Classroom’s webinar series, See Us, Learn Us, to deepen your understanding of the Black Canadian experience to better support students’ identity and sense of belonging at school.

This five-part multi-media series utilizes videos, music, spoken word, and more to build staff confidence and foundations to address the current realities of Black Canadians. Engaging in this series will help all educators and staff to:

• understand systemic racism;
• educate themselves about overt racism and the impact of racial microaggressions; and
• take meaningful steps to persist through challenges and mistakes through a journey of learning and growth, with mutual respect and appreciation for the diversity and richness within Black Canadian communities.

This series is free for all ADSB staff. To register, please see the instructions provided in your email from the Local office. Register with your board email address to be eligible to win a tailored resource bundle.
