Digital Student Program: Dana Canedy

Celebrating Black History Month, Kentucky to the World is proud to offer our first video-based, online program designed for students, featuring one of the most accomplished members of the American Arts and Letters community, Dana Canedy. 

In a two-pronged, pre-recorded digital student program, Pulitzer-Prize winner Dana Canedy responds to students’ questions. An additional segment of the student program is hosted by Atherton High School Media Arts students Adison Schanie and Kayden Mulrooney.

Curriculum resources for teachers and students

To support student learning, we are providing supplemental information linked to additional online resources. We have included suggestions and prompts that you may want to use to develop your own lessons, as well as encourage further research, analysis, writing, discussion, and presentations by students.

Kentucky to the World understands that each school is responsible for designing a curriculum that is appropriate for the students in that school, and that teachers are responsible for designing lessons that implement the school and district curriculum. The supplemental information, linked resources, essential questions, and prompts for student work presented here should be understood as suggestions. You may use these suggestions in designing your own teaching and learning modules that engage students in learning about the content presented. It goes without saying that we encourage modification, expansion, or further development of each student assignment suggestion.
