Outstanding work today from @FCPS_equity with all administrators focused on real tools in real time on how to pause, prepare, think and SAY when called upon to lead! Everyone leaving here with something tangible they can do today. @FCPSAchievement@KHarris_FCPS
βAn inclusive culture ensures all people feel that they belong, not in spite of their differences but because of them. In the process, everyone is honored and feels welcome, not by accident but by design.β
We need to shift our focus in equity work from βwho we areβ to βwho we want to be.β Who we need to become will get us to our desired results. #FCPSEquity#inclusion#belonging@FCPS_equity
The Dysfunctional Cycle of Equity Work was a huge aha moment in chapter 1! @DrFloydCobb2@JKrownapple show how honoring dignity, βthe innate, equal worth of each human being simply because that person is human,β is the way to equity in schools & all school systems. @FCPS_equity
A quick story on why #WordsMatter ....
Tonight I saw one of my students and her mom in Walmart. The mom told me how excited her daughter was because I had pronounced her name correctly on Wednesday.
Then the mom said that she had told her daughter the truth...
"Over and over, students are interrupted, corrected, and told to speak proper English. This seemingly benevolent practice has long-lasting negative effects."
This week, Andrea Castellano (@teachbk) explores what should be happening instead.
