What does Unlearning the Hush Mean?
​
-
Unlearning the Hush is a phrase that empowers and reminds us to use our voices, to embrace our identities, and to create learning spaces that dismantle systemic and societal factors that silence voices. In many ways it is a call to action to use classroom interactions and practices as a place to start actionable change that will positively impact our world.
-
As educators, we can help students discover their voices, forge connections, understand the relevance of all histories, and have a space to self-reflect and evolve. Just as the north star serves as a reliable guide, the HUSH Framework and oral histories provide an ‘internal compass’ for guiding our lessons and activities in the classroom, while also challenging us to reflect about our practices and ideologies.
