Incredibly engaging session with @RELMidwest today.
72 of our @ChicagoGEARUP staff members had the opportunity to plan for our "for now" reality. #Covid_19 will not stop us from being the best we can be for our students. #gearupworks #EmployeeEngagement #talentdevelopment

Current situation at home for many students of color:

No referrals
No suspension
Reading books and sitting in spaces that represent their culture
No “standardized” tests
No implicit bias
No oppressive policies

How will we get them to come back to school?
