So, I'm redesigning how I teach the Civil Rights in line w/ @learnforjustice's & @ProfJeffries' Teaching Hard History (also, thanks to Adam Sanchez).

We'll do everything from bust the Master Narrative, complicating Rosa Parks, deep dive into the Black Panther Party, & more.
I'll post every lesson I make here for others to use, & keep updating the thread as I make more.

Studies provide many e.g.'s of omissions, falsehoods, mistruths, generalizations, and stereotypes in textbooks.

Increasingly, teachers are buying & selling classroom resources on for-profit educational sites that do not adequately vet their materials. slate.com/technology/202…

Most #Canadian Ministries of Education no longer authorize learning resources and there is no process or system in place to vet and review learning resources for teaching #socialstudies and #history

Basically, it's up to the teacher to select learning resources
