@jadynowensau I think to be able to acknowledge and encourage all kinds of abilities, we need to be observant and really know our students. Their strengths and weaknesses. We need to not only praise kids for school but also the way they treat others, athleticism, artisticness, and much more.

@mgh0045au I think that when we put kids in groups, we can keep them on task as well as actually communicating, by having them share afterward. If we have students share with the class what they talked about, they actually have to have a conversation about the topic.

Why do you think that primary and historical documents are more historically accurate especially for the history of people of color? How as teachers can we fight against the use of these certain textbooks, especially older ones, that still instill racism?

"These documents (primary source documents) give accurate accounts of the perspectives of people who lived during that time. ..... Also, these documents can provide a wider (and more truthful) history of people of color than textbooks provide" (Mohammad 149). #auctee3100book21

@ReillyDavis13 I think as educators, we have a responsibility to know the signs and be able to tell when a young girl needs us to step in. There are many signs that can be recognised, especially in a school setting, we just must be able to see them.

@ReillyDavis13 I think a pretty big cause of girls getting involved in child sex trafficking is if they are already experiencing abuse or neglect at home. They seek love from other places and pimps will pretend to give them that love and attention until they are stuck.

@CallieAntonCTEE I think that we as teachers need to help each other be better. There are many teachers who have blogs and social media but I also think that we as co-workers need to have the hard conversations and educate not only our students but each other.

Why do you think this can be destructive to a child's identity as a person of color?

"7 percent represented Asian Pacific Islander/Asian Pacific American; and 10 percent of books presented African or African American. Meanwhile, 27 percent of books represented animals or others and 50 percent of books represented white characters" (Muhammad 139) #auctee3100book21

@steed_perry I think there is a big issue with having healthy AND affordable options for low-income families or areas. As the teacher, find, eat, and promote inexpensive/accessible and healthy snacks. Maybe even share with your students to help raise awareness of these options.

@cmorrinauctee I think that if you do the research and educate yourself the correct way, you can find a reason to be passionate about almost anything. You may not be passionate about the subjects themselves, but there may be a subtopic, outcome, or activity that you can become passionate about.

"Identity is composed of who we are, who others say we are (in both positive and negative ways), and whom we desire to be" (Muhammad 67). https://t.co/QG5ZPArx4B
Why does so much of our identity lie in they eyes of others? Why are we so quick to "identify" other people?

[Anne Doxtader @AnneDoxtader]

@ReillyDavis13 Sadly I think this quote is very true. There are many negative stereotypes that are associated with black girls and women. I think that in many schools there is a lack of dissociation between these students and the false stereotypes which leads to schools treating them unjustly.

[Anne Doxtader @AnneDoxtader]

@RebeccaFriday14 I think a huge way that one can make others feel unwelcomed is with a lack of acknowledgment. I know when I feel the most unwanted is when I feel unknown forgotten about. It doesn't have to be extravagant but to make sure you appreciate the person and make them feel seen.

[Anne Doxtader @AnneDoxtader]

Although knowledge development is outlined in state standards across the nation, there is an absence of a discussion about identity. (Muhammad 35).

Why is it so important to address the "difficult" conversations in every classroom?
