What if we all saw ourselves as powerful in creating a better world? The world that many of us say we want!

[Donnell Cannon @Donnell_Cannon]

Here’s an insight I’ve been grappling with today: we (people) are powerful in creating the type of world we don’t want, but often see ourselves as powerless in creating the world we do want.

Check out their work on @hummingbirdfam Ep. 3

[Donnell Cannon @Donnell_Cannon]

@BowarCarol and her team have designed a school focused on diversity and leadership in which young women are empowered to know themselves well.

[Donnell Cannon @Donnell_Cannon]

Equity work means we must actively develop inclusive and identity-safe learning environments for young people. @BowarCarol is one of our ed heroes who is doing just that!

[Donnell Cannon @Donnell_Cannon]

Join us on Ep. 3 of @hummingbirdfam to hear from @BowarCarol and @wearebeloved_us as they share their ideas about how to make this true for more young people! @omearajen

[Donnell Cannon @Donnell_Cannon]

We cannot design for equity in our schools without acknowledging and honoring the identities of all young people, as a starting place!

[Jenny O'Meara @omearajen]

What a joy & gift it has been to learn from some of my ed heroes. Episodes 1 “Beyond Leandro” and 2 “Student drivers” (because of course kids should be in the drivers’s seat of their learning) are out now. Please join our hummingbird fam and give them a listen!

[Donnell Cannon @Donnell_Cannon]

@drsonnsam is dropping dimes on this episode of @hummingbirdfam . We also interview a few young people to learn about their experiences in bold, new learning models. Check it out today wherever you get your podcasts!

[EducationNC @EducationNC]

Redesigning education is no easy task. But what if we redesigned education to center each student's individual needs?

On this episode of The Hummingbird Stories,@Donnell_Cannon and @omearajen explore student-centered learning with @drsonnsam.
