The reason why many people, esp. mothers, have empathy for the mother in Duxbury is because postpartum psychosis could’ve happened to any of us. She wasn’t a sociopath or deadbeat. She was PROUD to be a mom. She loved her kids. If it could happen to her, it could happen to anyone
@KipHottman I have heard this from so. many. teachers, @KipHottman. I would say as a parent, it's a lot to manage for me, fairly easy for my kids, and definitely A LOT of work for teachers.
A1: During this first month back to school, I have felt most successful as an educator when my students gave me feedback on my new best practices. We’ve found a way to collaborate, engage, learn virtually & have created a solid virtual learning environment. #BetterTogetherinMA
Coming soon: a slow chat version of tonight's #Commit2ART chat. We are looking forward to hearing more about what teachers need. @TheTeacherCoLab is here to support.
Inviting all to join Facebook group E2 Equity Educators to share resources and ideas for students furthest from educational justice https://t.co/a3Ijadf046 #commit2ART
@TheTeacherCoLab A5A: I'm going to shout out @FHNewEngland again. Checklist is awesome: https://t.co/Sr5mlPPM1a and on-demand webinars: https://t.co/GY6WHSWkWf #Commit2ART
Random and doesn't necessarily belong to a question, but I am listening to Nice White Parents podcast @serial. Could make a great discussion piece for white parents involved in parent councils #commit2art
A4: shared language would be helpful in building community across teachers re: how we talk about race and racism amongst teachers, students, families, etc. #commit2art
A1B: I want to be an antiracist teacher because I am rooted in love, I’m passionate about teaching all my learners and love openly discussing social justice w/them and inspiring them to be the change. #Commit2Art
Such a good point. I hear this a lot and feel like this is true often: people mean well. What have been your go-to resources for learning more, if you wouldn't mind sharing?
A1B: Because it's not enough to mean well, or think you're doing well. If I'm serious about supporting all my learners, I need to think about my biases, my privilege, and listen to other stories and experiences. #Commit2ART
@TheTeacherCoLab For me, I was interested in the concept of doing actively anti-racist actions, as opposed to just "being" anti-racist. That changed how I think about what I should be doing/learning on an ongoing basis. #Commit2ART
