Visiting some sites. Blown away at El Carmelo Elementary. The care that went into welcome packages for students set a VERY high bar. New Chromebook, grade-appropriate materials, and a special bag! Control what you can control!

I recently discussed #HowToBeAnAntiracist with @BreneBrown who has spent her career revealing the power of vulnerability and empathy, which we need in this moment to be antiracist and build an antiracist society. This is a conversation I won't forget. https://t.co/ef3dXOnnij

"It's all about finding your own power, and being able to recognize your own power and what you can influence. What you can control is your own response, the way you make sense of things, and the story you tell about something," says Elena Aguilar. https://t.co/pGukfTJCdz

[Alfie Kohn @alfiekohn]

I understand the equity-based case for making online instruction asynchronous, but this greatly complicates collaboration, exploration, and student-centered learning, locking in a model of teaching that's only about "delivering content" - a chilling phrase if ever there was one.

When it comes to remote teaching and learning, a combination of the flipped model and reciprocal learning may be the way to elevate the voices of participants and find some inspiration, says @PeterMDeWitt. #EWopinion https://t.co/cZbopMYLzk
