Summer might be a break for students, but as an educator, I know teachers are busy enhancing their skills and knowledge to improve their curriculum and students’ overall experience in their classrooms.

How will you introduce your students to that history and experiences? What readings and resources will you use? What approach will you take with this sensitive topic?
