Discussion-based PPT and COVID-friendly resources.
Following the increase in awareness and activism surrounding race issues, it is important to discuss and review some of the more contemporary, relevant discussions relating to institutional injustice in society and in schools. It is especially important to allow our students to explore these debates in a calm, respectful environment, where questions and concerns can be voiced without fear of prejudice or discrimination.
I am aware that this is a sensitive topic, however shying away from our more difficult conversations has never led to moral / societal progress. Therefore, I offer this PPT, not as a comprehensive guide or solution to these injustices, but as a starting point for discussions relating to race, equality and justice. In addition, my own race excludes me from the lived experience of many of my colleagues and fellow citizens, and therefore I have created this lesson/PPT from a position of collegiality, to enable and facilitate conversation and as a support to the seen (and unseen) challenges that all people face because of unjust institutions.
