Black History Month Resources: Home

Videos, kits, and novels to support teaching Black History Month (February)

Getting Started

Click one of the buttons below or the tabs above to see digital resources that you can use to introduce Black History Month to your students.

While February may be Black History month, that doesn't mean this should be the only time you bring in history of Black Canadians to the classroom. These resources can be interwoven and used at any point in the school year.

 

Learning ultimately supports the well-being of the self, the family, the community, the land, the spirits and the ancestors.
Learning involves generational roles and responsibilities.
Learning is embedded in memory, history, and story.
Learning involves recognizing the consequences of one's actions.
Learning requires exploration of one's identity.
Learning is holistic, reflexive, reflective, experiential and relational (focused on connectedness, on reciprocal relationships, and a sense of place).
