CSRA RESA

Black History Month is a time to celebrate and recognize the contributions and achievements of African Americans throughout history. It is an opportunity to learn about and appreciate the diverse history and culture of African Americans, and to work towards a just society for all. This year’s theme is “African Americans and Labor.” This theme highlights the profound and varied ways Black people have shaped the workforce, from the forced labor of enslaved Africans to their ongoing contributions in diverse fields. By examining the intersections between work, race, and culture, this theme sheds light on how Black workers, activists, and leaders have had a pivotal role in shaping both the economy and the social fabric of the United States.

Louisville Academy, Carver Elementary, and Wrens Elementary have been actively implementing high-impact routines, strategy groups, and conferencing to enhance student learning. Teachers were excited to receive several new read-aloud books and have successfully incorporated innovative strategies into their sessions.

At Louisville Academy, Jessica Mole, instructional coach, supported Bree Hopper during her 1st-grade read-aloud session. Students actively participated in turn-and-talk activities, which fostered collaboration and critical thinking skills. Through this session, students expanded their vocabulary and deepened their understanding of the material.
