Resources for educating kids about equity and justice


It's incumbent on us all to educate ourselves, talk with our friends and family, and most importantly, build empathy and motivation for change among the next generation. 

For anyone looking to better understand racial injustice and find resources for how to talk to children about these issues, I would point you to a resource developed by our local school district's Equity Initiatives Unit.  It's really well organized and easy to find what you need. With a cover note and link from them:

"Please see An Educators Guide to This Moment: Resources for Educators, Parents, and Students, developed by the MCPS Equity Initiatives Unit to help students, staff, teachers, and families process this difficult moment in our country. It is a public resource and we encourage you to share it within your school communities and beyond. It's extraordinarily well done."  

I couldn't agree more. 

peace, 
Ingrid
