Key
Topic – What Does Hate Look Like?
Corinne Promislow, principal of
King Edward PS, and Sameea Jimenez, resource teacher at Dr. Rita
Cox-Kina Minagok PS will join us at our next Ward Forum to discuss their new
book "What Does Hate Look Like" and how it can be
used in and out of the classroom. This book, published by Second Story Press,
gives readers a glimpse into the lives of students who have experienced hate in
their lives. Real kids from real classrooms share their stories in this book to
help us see the bias, prejudice, violence, discrimination and exclusion around
us – what hate looks like to them. Why? So we can stand up against
hate and never be the cause of it. And to show us how to cope and get
support if we have been hurt. By sharing stories, we all become stronger.
Our schools, neighbourhoods and communities become safer, and more kind,
and hate doesn't win.
The meeting will be hosted on the Zoom video conference platform. Registrants will be sent a meeting invite with a link and call in details for the session.
