Black Lives Matter at School Reflections and Ongoing Engagement

Anti-Bias Early Childhood Working Group Meeting

February 25, 2023

To begin their February meeting, members went around the Zoom room or responded in the chat to the posed questions: “In one word or phrase, what describes your school year so far?” and “What is sustaining you? What support do you have? What do you need?” To help ground folks in the main topic of the meeting–reflecting on the BLM at School Week of Action and ways to continue engaging in the Year of Purpose–attendees were then reminded of a few of the guiding principles and demands, and spent time in breakout groups discussing them and how they can be practiced for early childhood educators. Folks also shared out the lessons, activities, etc. they did or are planning for Black Lives Matter at School, and what successes and struggles they’ve experienced in that work.
