Together We Thrive: Anti-Oppression in Early Education

Author: Aisha Kiani in collaboration with Hope Inclusion Project and BC School District 78 Fraser-Cascade

(Kindergarten – Gr. 4 Curriculum)

“Together We Thrive is the first B.C. designed curriculum that offers intersectional social justice education in the early years. Literacy is the foundation of this curriculum. Eight timeless picture books anchor ready-to-teach lesson plans that address the intersectional nature of systemic oppression. Through storytelling, place based learning, and design thinking, teachers and students will grow together in their critical awareness and practice of equity.”

TED Talk by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie:

“Our lives, our cultures, are composed of many overlapping stories. Novelist Chimamanda Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice — and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding.”
