Always make sure you continue to grow in your own professional learning! Lifelong journey at its finest. Think what “could” you do . What do you “want” to do. And what “will” you do! #EDLR5402
I’ve participated in many fishbowls before in person but never online. I really like this technique to really engage in productive discourse. Especially for courageous conversations. Definitely makes your brain work! Thanks for this experience #EDLR5402
I couldn’t agree more! We need to start removing those obstacles in the way of students of color! We can’t see them represented in the college experience if there are so many things in the way!!! #EDLR5402
Diversity matters. It strengthens equal opportunity and improves student outcomes. It enhances the college experience for everyone.
The Supreme Court decision will not stop us from fighting for students of color.
“Confronting rather than ignoring any evidence of deficit thinking remains an essential recommendation for addressing barriers to cultural inclusiveness in schools.”(Murray & Guerra) Stat humble and stop pointing blame to families of color! #EDLR5402
Representation in a space has to be authentic. We have to disrupt system racism , and we have to develop strategies for people in positions that are disproportionately underrepresented the support they need!! #EDLR5402
Stereotypes are real and can be damaging! The amount of negative stereotypes I received through my education is what drove me to become the leader I am today! To prove that we are more than the stereotypes out there against us! #Latina#Educator#UCONNAlumni#UCAPP#EDLR5402
Having an equity approach in data analysis means you are maintaining an awareness of potential distortion and proactively moving against it! If you don’t talk about it at all you’re feeding right into systemic racism. #EDLR5402
“When reflecting through your leadership journey make sure it’s an analysis vs. a summary! Really think what did you learn? How did you profess it? “ UCAPP Coach Renata #EDLR5402
If teachers are given voice in their PD then odds are the process in application will be seen as a valuation process not just an event to check off their list. #EDLR5402
Just finished reading this book for class and it validated my thoughts as a teacher leader! Preparing for the beginning of the year PD has to include teachers input to make sure it’s “ a way of being and not events” #EDLR5402

“…it is important to at least give teachers a passenger seat in planning a professional learning program.” (Rodman) The best PDs are the ones where teachers are invested because it’s what they want and need! #EDLR5402
“CPD involves educators in cooperative dialogue, building unity, shared leadership and meeting the needs of teachers to engage in social Justice education” (Kohli,Martinez,Ortiz) How powerful a school would be to work together to dismantle a system that’s so broken! #EDLR5402
