Yesterday, we at the Academy had the distinct pleasure of watching over 30 of our Equity Fellows transition from "students" to "alumni". What an amazing way to end National Teacher Appreciation Week. You have MASTERED it! Congratulations to all of you!

We have reached yet another moment where institutions—including schools—are signaling a commitment to justice amidst righteous demands. But actions must follow these proclamations. Consider these lenses for looking forward.

What do you tell people when they ask you what does it mean to be an antiracist educator?

We believe CARE’s Antiracist Principles can serve as a guide.

Please read, share, and discuss with your colleagues. https://t.co/U199t2ET46
