Teaching Beyond Textbooks With Pear Deck's Black History Month Lessons
February is Black History Month, and we’ve curated a set of lessons developed in partnership with Everfi and our African-American/Black Employee Resource Groups.
"In creating these lessons, we recognized the crucial need to showcase a broader spectrum of Black history, highlighting figures whose speeches and influences are less visible, but deeply impactful. This effort, shaped with valuable input from our African-American/Black Employee Resource Group, reflects our commitment to providing a more inclusive, comprehensive educational experience that honors the diverse narratives and contributions within Black history,” said Cleontá Jackson, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Manager for Pear Deck Learning.
We're excited to present these ready-to-teach materials, providing educators with templates to incorporate essential concepts into their curriculum seamlessly. With a focus on fostering active engagement, these lessons aim to deepen understanding and celebrate the rich tapestry of Black History.
Be sure to explore our full collection of templates for Black History Month.
