The session will center on a discussion on best practices for teaching Black History using the Black Lives Always Mattered! (BLAM!) graphic novel. Ismael Jimenez, Director of Social Studies Curriculum for the School District of Philadelphia, will facilitate the conversation. Participants will engage in identifying effective pedagogical strategies for delivering instruction on African American History using a combination of the BLAM! graphic novel and primary resources.
