Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man

Recently in a book club, I was introduced to Emmanuel Acho (former NFL player and now a Fox Sports analyst) and his book Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man. After rapidly reading the book — it is so good — I then discovered his series of YouTube videos with the same title. He is an amazing person and speaks so well about racism and all of the many issues that go along with it.

Get to know the author via one of his many YouTube videos:

Reflections: Online Learning, Distance Teaching, and Life in the Midst of COVID-19

"Reflections: Online Learning, Distance Teaching, and Life in the Midst of COVID-19" is an article I wrote for the National Association of Independent School's (NAIS) Fall 2020 Independent Teacher publication. 

Along with my reflections, you will find many links to stories I read to children and shared with them during the initial online learning/teaching as a result of the pandemic. Feel free to use them with your children.

Also, the other articles in this edition of Independent Teacher are excellent.
