General good advice “Ask for the parent’s help. The student is their child forever, I am their teacher for one year. Look to the parent as an expert” #TCH26410
“As children begin to understand the idea of internalizing another’s point of view, they can apply that understanding by examining different ideas and alternatives to their own experiences” -Rita Tenorio #TCH26410
“Black students are criminalized instead of engaging as children and teens whose mistakes could be addressed through non-punitive restorative approaches”our society demonizes black kids and punishes them. They don’t get the chance to just be children. #TCH26410
Teaching for black lives means that we go above and beyond what is expected of us. Our standards weren’t created for all students and therefore it is our job to make it inclusive to POC and BIPOC students and their lived experience. We must make them aware of injustice. #TCH26410
How are these officers serving and protecting here? How are they protecting by taking away PPE so people can protect themselves? This is unconscionable.
“The purpose of education, finally, is to create in a person the ability to look at the world for himself, to make his own decisions, to decide for himself this is black or this is white”.
I love teaching because I believe education should be an equitable environment for students and as a teacher I enjoy the fact that I’ll be able to help advocate for students and teach them about advocating for themselves and others #TCH26410
