Here are some great tools to support disrupting racist comments & ideas! #EducationalEquity #antiracism #interuptracism

[Elena Aguilar @brightmorningtm]

“Why don't you disrupt racist behavior more immediately? Our kids needed change yesterday…”

This week, Bright Morning teammate, Nick Cains, joins Elena to explore how we center transformation (and our own humanity) when disrupting racism in our coaching conversations.

I love having friends in education who keep it real & have the courage to ask questions that lead to the hard truths. #STEM4Real #EducationalEquity #RightfulPresence

[Leena Bakshi McLean, Ed.D. @LeenaBMc]

How many teachers of color are on your teams? How many educators of color on your curriculum writing and leadership teams? How are ideas heard, validated and uplifted? How are they shut down? How are they supported? #RepresentationMatters #DiversityandInclusion #edequity
