What started with feeding about a dozen local kids has turned into #OpSnack where I feed anywhere from 40-60 Flint kids snack/meal bags a day.

Every year we give out over 1,000 backpacks to local kids. Plus this year I want to add in at least 100 pairs of sneakers.

A5: As we teach our kids to be critical thinkers and push back on practices that are harmful, we must be willing to push back as well and show that no matter what programs we use, we’re here for our students #G2Great

[Lisa Tastor @LTastor]

A4: Students who’ve been failed by programs are often pushed into another’s responsibility. We need to work together to see students as all of our responsibilities #G2Great

[Lisa Tastor @LTastor]

A3: Our responsibility is to the academic and social emotional needs of our students. We can adapt any “standards based program” to meet these needs by making sure we tailor small group/one on one groups to individual students #G2Great

[Lisa Tastor @LTastor]

A2: when we push back and put students at the forefront of conversations. It’s not the students who are “failing” it’s instruction, curriculum, practices that are failing them #G2Great

[Lisa Tastor @LTastor]

A1: Students aren’t standardized so fidelity to a program means you’re only meeting the needs of the chosen few #G2great

[Lisa Tastor @LTastor]

Or any other books not written by #ownvoices authors!

[Lisa Tastor @LTastor]

A8: It isn’t students who are lost, it’s the schools who are measuring “success” in harmful ways. #G2Great

[Lisa Tastor @LTastor]

@DrMaryHoward Agreed! Covid shone a light on these things especially the problems of equity in our schools!

[Lisa Tastor @LTastor]

A7: For starters, schools did not fall apart this year without test scores to label and box students in! #G2Great

[Lisa Tastor @LTastor]

A5: Students engage in lots of meaningful learning outside of school. Building, creating, problem solving, writing for a real purpose, reading texts of their choosing. This is lost when we define learning as something that occurs on a worksheet or Google Doc. #G2Great
