Hope For Students

Shine a light on education inequality. Presented by The Expectations Project (@expectproject).

"Punishing black students and white students differently for the same behavior in a way that's measurable across the entire system is literally the definition of institutional racism."

Do you agree?

Centering joy means valuing the humanity of children by inviting the fullness of their being into their educational experiences so that they can come alive through their learning and lean into their innate wisdom and inclinations. - @ZakiyaNaemaJack

A significant win for those of us who believe that our children deserve to be seen and supported by their school communities.

This is the result of the advocacy and efforts of millions of parents, teachers, students and community members. 🎉

[Expectations Project @expectproject]

This is a step in the right direction.

We welcome the @usedgov's long-overdue restoration of guidance to address grotesque racial disparities in school discipline.

ALL students deserve to be treated fairly in safe and inclusive school environments.

If we believe safety in schools begins with reacting to violence after it happens, then we are failing our children. Schools failed me and my brothers years ago. And we are failing children today. But we don’t have to! We can let children be children.

What if we understood that we have enough?

That we have enough money and enough resources in our society for everyone to not only have their needs met but to thrive. The resources to build the world we envision already exist.

[Expectations Project @expectproject]

If research shows that there is enough to go around, then why are some communities still under-resourced and what can we do about it?

Join @ZakiyaNaemaJack and Lena Anglin on IG Live at 1p eastern today. Let's talk abundance along with this week's updates on the #childtaxcredit.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

New report finds that the child tax credit payments lifted nearly 3 million children out of poverty, so naturally we ended them https://t.co/LdE85xavr9

[Expectations Project @expectproject]

Join us on IG LIVE today at 2:30p for a conversation about economic empowerment and the Child Tax Credit. We'll talk through:

- what IS the child tax credit and why was it taken away?
- what's going on right now to make it relevant?
- how might the CTC impact families and kids?

"To ensure equitable outcomes for all students, state leaders must make a concerted effort to prepare, recruit, and retain teachers of color...state and district leaders have a great opportunity to leverage COVID-relief funds to expand diversity efforts."

[Hope For Students @HFSmovement]

"While many policymakers and district leaders tout their tightened security measures, the truth is that they’re often just for show rather than real impact."

Sharing a few songs that we love and listen to :)

Centering the JOY of Black and Brown Children is a policy PRIORITY area for us.

Signing, dancing, and play are a part of that. 🎶

[Expectations Project @expectproject]

When students have their joy centered they can be more grounded, more focused, freer, and happier. Joy allows students to thrive. We want that for Black and Brown children.

[Expectations Project @expectproject]

As @ZakiyaNaemaJack explains, one of our policy priorities is to CENTER the JOY of Black and Brown Children.

We've shared a few ways that schools can do that - https://t.co/7aBiETnJIa - and would love to hear your ideas!

[Expectations Project @expectproject]

As we spotlight centering the JOY of Black and Brown children, we want to share a few books that we love that do just that!
