Using a Surface → Shallow → Deep Culture framework, this resource helps schools shift from performative activities to intentional learning experiences that are inclusive, developmentally appropriate, and aligned to research-based best practices.
What Makes This Resource Different
✔ Goes beyond heroes and holidays
✔ Designed for whole-school implementation
✔ Includes a full 4-week pacing calendar
✔ Embedded ML/ELL accommodations throughout (not a separate add-on)
✔ Staff-facing guidance that prevents common missteps
✔ Family-friendly and district-appropriate language
This guide was created for teachers and leaders who want Black History Month to build understanding, strengthen relationships, and affirm student identity—not just decorate hallways.
