Today in PLC, a colleague described how she keeps a spread sheet of things that happen on screen. Like a cat walks across the screen. Instead of chiding the student, she records, “Student has a cat. Ask its name later.” That tiny little move is about relationship now and later.

It didn’t arrive in time for the first book club session, but I am really excited to start this and listen to future conversations with @soortle #naturalalliesbook

"We know the feeling we get when we meet people who have some of our history, people who grew up in our hometowns or went to our schools. It feels like meeting an old friend. Let’s give our students that same sense of knowing and belonging."

@almadvel @PPSConnect Congratulations! Lucky students, teachers and staff, and families. Rooting for you all!

Many schools will start the year online. While this introduces a number of critical equity concerns, it doesn't mean an end to culturally responsive instruction. Here are ways to center students, build learning partnerships and support students' needs.

Hey teachers! 👋🏾 Friendly reminder that your Black, Brown and students of color don’t need you as a savior to save them. This is a harmful train of thought and is rooted in racism. Equity isn’t swooping in and trying to rescue students. Equity is interrupting systemic racism.

“Teaching kids about equity in schools is not about teaching them what to think. It is about giving them the tools, strategy, language &opportunities to practice how to think.”

[Jenna Schofer (she/her) @Mrs_Schofer]

I love this framework. Thank you @GholdyM

[Cult of Pedagogy @cultofpedagogy]

Honored to talk with @GholdyM for nearly an hour about her Historically Responsive Literacy framework. This fresh approach to curriculum, designed with Black excellence at its core, is a must-read for every equity-minded teacher.

Stop being scared of white people and say the thing that needs to be said.

This great resource for educators "explores and challenges the complexity surrounding the term 'Asian Pacific American,' breaking it down into topics that span multiple timelines, geographies, and identities." @SmithsonianAPA

Young students are aware of their identities. They are not shielded from the effects of racism in school or society. Those who teach them should not ignore those realities in the classroom. Here are some starting points.

16-year-old William Haymon has spent nearly 2 years in an adult jail in #Mississippi without ever being charged.

How is this possible? Because #MS doesn't have a rule outlining how long one can be incarcerated without being formally charged.

"We are living through a very dangerous time. . . The paradox of education is precisely this — that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated." — James Baldwin (born #tdih 1924), "A Talk to Teachers" https://t.co/KFrQ0SFv1u

@timlauer Or even a kindergarten teacher who has been teaching for years. Or any educator, student, family member. 😔 Teachers are amazing AND this is just very challenging.

[Jenna Schofer (she/her) @Mrs_Schofer]

Amazing collection of resources!
