Reflecting, repenting, and renewing our spirits on this Yom Kippur. As the sun sets, it symbolizes a fresh start, and we hope for a year filled with peace and love ❤️

Teaching students about the impacts of Intersectionality (1) and Poverty (2) can help build empathy and an understanding of social justice. Use these lesson plans by @banana29 & @the_mulc to get those conversations started.

@banana29 @TVOdocs @jpedrech @_ArtifexStudios @tk1ng Love this Alanna. Can’t wait to watch the second half when I’m done marking exams and then finding the right place in Challenge and Change for this!

@banana29 @MsColemanODSS I’d love to see our Breakfast Program and Greenhouse work together.

I have students crocheting in class this year during discussion and lessons. Seems to be far less distracting than their phones.

[Advocate GOAT @theDRAMAgoat1]

I'm appalled at how often I still see the 1960's "sit still in desks in straight rows" teaching method be heralded as the end all be all of what it means to teach and what it means to learn.

End of a unit means I get to see the Ss one pager doodle notes. Love to see what they choose to include and how they color code. I love even more reading Ss reflections at the end of the assessment saying how much doing the doodle notes help them to study!!! @FJHChargers

My kid's school is holding pizza lunch, ice cream and book fair fundraisers, so they can buy more books for the library. This is not what publicly funded education looks like. Does this mean kids who live in impoverished neighbourhoods don't deserve the same books as my kid?

@MsColemanODSS Love this. This is why I prefer teaching skills over content. Less gate keeping and more planting seeds.

A note from one of my kids today.

Sadly, I generally assume most are going “through some shit.”

As such, I never assume they’re lazy.

So much more to their lives than my class.

Meeting them where they are goes beyond where they are academically.

I meet them “humanly.”

#BlackBrilliance2022 is only 6 days away!!! Take a look at one of our workshops!
Can't wait to see y'all there!

florida high school class president zander moricz was told by his school that they would cut his microphone if he said “gay” in his grad speech, so he replaced gay with “having curly hair.” i am in awe
