@BJamirson Exactly! We know our students can accomplish so much, they just need encouragement to be brave enough to accomplish those goals.

@ChrisCulberts13 I think this is an important lesson for students of all ages.

@themrodan @dr_s_bertrand I really enjoyed his video as well. As a white teacher, I agree that sometimes we have good intentions but come up short. His 5 C's framework addresses this well.

A3: My goal for the upcoming year is to encourage dialog for change and inclusion. I also want to make my room a safe space for all. I want each student to know he/she is precious and valued. #tch407su2020

A2: Equity in the classroom includes your language as a teacher, but also goes all the way to the text we use in the classroom. Are all students represented? If not, how can we address it. This article gives simple steps to get started. https://t.co/zRglFD3IfK #tch407su2020

@BJamirson Right before I took that course in the spring I heard a podcast from an African American author discussing a similar experience, but the way Adichie vocalizes the issue is really eye opening. Perfect share! #tch407su2020

So much has happened to our students this year. We need to be ready to listen and use encouraging words when we can. Not just positivity, but encouraging our students to make a difference if they see an issue in their world. #tch407su2020

A1: I teach 7th & 8th grade Tech Skills and this fall I will help my students find their new normal. I have expanded my knowledge on student diversity through courses at ISU. This summer I have read books that give me a different perspective. #startadialog #openup #tch407su2020

Just started my summer classes this week. Really enjoying discussing the way the brain learns and how to incorporate that knowledge into my teaching. #tch407su20 https://t.co/Bj0sEkKsVW via @YouTube

Since I spend a lot of time in front of a computer screen, I attempt to protect my eyes, but now I should take extra care with my ears as well! https://t.co/fYtASU0FCT via @flipboard
