@TozerAlexis Agreed! Sometimes you need to go the extra mile to assist someone in order to make it “equal.”

[Paige spell @PaigeSpell]

I think that in order for schools to be equal, there must be equity. Equity would be providing different resources to different students to help them succeed in school, and that would be an equal education. #3310txst (1)

It was true before and the pandemic has made it even more clear: An equal education isn‘t possible until leaders recognize that “language access for families is essential to a child’s education—not a supplement to it.” https://t.co/8pSPIoDXha

Agreed! The dress code was also so frustrating and dumb in my opinion. Like I couldn’t show my shoulders ?! Or one time a teacher dress coded me for rips in my jeans as if knees are distracting.

[Tegan @tegantheteacher]

Something that would really help make our schools equal for all students would be to make sure they all feel judged equally on dress code. Female students feel way more judged than male students when it comes to dress code, and that is unfair. #3310TXST

I love this quote! I think this is a really good example of the difference behind equity and equality

[Lucero Pizano @PizanoLucero]

There's a difference between equality and equity?
"The route to achieving equity will not be accomplished through treating everyone equally. It will be achieved by treating everyone justly according to their circumstances.”

I think education philosophies definitely shape our curriculum. I think we should focus on more up to date philosophies in order to give our students a real education. #3310txst

[Paige spell @PaigeSpell]

I totally agree with you Danni! If we our teaching our students things that make them lose focus, then we are just wasting our time.

[Paige spell @PaigeSpell]

This is so important ! We must educate our students on real life things that go on without sugar coating it

Many educators and caregivers come to us wondering how to broach the topic of slavery with young learners in a way that is honest but age-appropriate. Our framework and related resources can help. Learn more here.

Agreed!!

"We must immediately resolve to denounce any form of racism and make a personal commitment to anti-racism." Read Superintendent Dr. @KentPScribner's full statement on the death of George Floyd. https://t.co/3ubE3OP8Id

[Paige spell @PaigeSpell]

Students should feel heard and safe in their school. It would not be fair for a student to not want to go to school because they are feared of being treated differently. Every school should welcome every student with open arms. #3310txst

[Paige spell @PaigeSpell]

This is so helpful! This will help create an environment where every student feels welcomed and equal. #3310txst

[Paige spell @PaigeSpell]

I am hopeful that I can create an environment that educates each and every one of my students. I would never want to be the reason a student didn’t get the proper education they deserved. #3310txst

[Paige spell @PaigeSpell]

@MsEspinozaR Yes I totally agree!! The things that are going on outside of a classroom could involve anybody, so we should always stay mindful of those who are being impacted

[Paige spell @PaigeSpell]

@tegantheteacher Very well said !!

[Paige spell @PaigeSpell]

Treat others with kindness. #3310txst

[Paige spell @PaigeSpell]

I think part of a teachers job is to make sure our students feel included ALL the time. We should never want a student to feel like they aren’t important or smart because they look different than the next person, and engraving this early on will help make sure people always

[We Are Teachers @WeAreTeachers]

So important.
