A5 I am amazed by the lessons on ps 59-131. These are not rigid scripts but a respectful frame of possibilities we can contemplate and design. They invite teachers to bring their own thinking to the table just as teachers will invite children to do the same. #G2Great
A4 Circles create a space to come together as a community to become one unit. Remaining present and genuinely listening. We offer circle prompts in our book along with follow up questions to support connection and a feeling of being heard, seen, and understood. #G2great
A 3/3 β...we cannot engage with our students around these issues when we have not engaged with our own selves. We have to know who we are and where we stand in order to have genuine and meaningful conversations with ourselves and othersβ (Mentor and Sealy 2021) #G2Great
A 2/3 Educators with a growth mindset understand the learning they do before, during, and after the lesson is crucial not only to their own sense of self-efficacy but also to studentsβ learning and understanding of their efficacy. Check out @quiche36 tools on pgs 21-22! #G2Great
