The Jan/Feb edition includes great stories about the value of small provincial specialist associations and a Black studies course created by three Surrey teachers to bring Black joy, excellence, and resistance to the forefront.

This edition features two articles discussing strategies and ideas for incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into classroom learning.

You can find other teaching resources in this edition, including the following:

• Celebrating Black Canadians is a collection of video recommendations, podcast suggestions, and lesson plans that celebrate Black Canadians, Black history, and Black futures.
• Teaching challenging histories in social studies outlines strategies to help students discuss controversial or polarizing topics with empathy, curiosity, and respect.
