Last week I had the pleasure of conducting a workshop with the Blacktastic staff over at . ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

The workshop was entitled, Designing an Afrocentric Authentic Assessment and it walked participants through the different types of formative and summarize assessments that exist and which ones were the most effective at activating student learning 🧠.

The final task was for the teachers to design their own Afrocentric Authentic Assessment that they would deliver to their students in the comings weeks. I was blown away by some of their prototypes!

Whether it was teaching measurement by having students make their favorite recipe at home with their families, or teaching the different shapes by having students design new traffic signs to go in their neighborhoods, the teachers really got what it takes to link their assessments to real world application that have to do with the students’ history, culture and daily lived experiences. Bravo! 👏🏽

I’m still in shock by the amazing article done by about me and the work I’m trying to do to make learning our true history more accessible for our children! ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

If you want to read the article, I’ve added it to the link in my bio!

Excited to meet the amazing Black families at the conference today!

Excited to serve as a panelist for Innovation for Education event.

I will be discussing my work with to develop their Afrocentric curriculum, as well as other ways that educators can create liberating change in their communities.

Recently I had the privilege of working with the amazing teachers at and about how to be a culturally responsive teacher and how to develop cultural competence in their students.

Specifically we discussed how to develop lessons that counter notions of white supremacy and show the positive accomplishments and contributions of African and African American people on global society.
