Calling all students, parents, teachers, and administrators!!! We see you, we hear you, and we want to help!

The Project Imagine Team has designed a series of free online courses/support groups to rejuvenate hope and reconnect despite all of the obstacles we are facing. . .

Most of the proposed school plans feel like a lose-lose situation (involving literal life and death decisions). Educators, parents, and students alike are feeling unheard, devalued, and anxious.

We know that the expertise and agency for change lives in each and every one of us!

Art is not a reward.
Music is not a reward.
Playing outside is not a reward.
Reading books of choice is not a reward.
Field trips are not a reward.
Food is not a reward.
Being able to move in a classroom is not a reward.
Children are human beings & should be treated as such.

A joyful literacy workshop is foundational to equity work at the classroom level! So excited for this book by @LitCup and @mariapwalther!

[Karen & Brian Tucker @LitCup]

It’s a book (cover)! Thanks to @TerryTreads & everyone @stenhousepub for making our dream a reality! @mariapwalther and I can’t wait for you to read the inside this spring!!! #LitWorkshop 📚✏️❤️

How white liberalism can undermine equity work: We emphasize kindness, we celebrate diversity, we host an anti-bullying assembly, we display an I Have a Dream poster. Maybe we talk about implicit bias, carefully avoiding institutional racism. We check the box. Then we rest.

#A1 If you speak up with an anti-racist perspective, you will be made to feel like an enemy of the system. Do not question the status quo. #TeacherEdChat

For 3 years, my school took on the one book one school craze. I joined the committee to advocate for books that wouldn’t include titles in this thread. I lost the battle every year. We went with Lemonade War, Charlie & the CF, and Charlottes Web. #DisruptTexts

Barriers need to be replaced with bridges. Consequence mentality is consistent in the way we language about our work. I can imagine schools where the consequence language is replaced with language of hope and possibility. #Imagine4edu

The most common way to respond to a disengaged student is to apply some sort of consequence. But the quickest way to get a student to engage is to make sure they feel successful. Sometimes the traditional systems we have in place only work against us and our students.

"To say that kids need to read anyone book is absurd--I reject that" @triciaebarvia advocates for a critical examination of what books we as Ts deem as worthy. #ILA19 #ILAequity

[Project Imagine @ProjectImagine6]

The live-streamed session will be available on the ILA website, and it is a must see! 🔥 #ILA19

[Dana Onayemi, EdD (she/her) @EdDOnayemi]

I mean the way @davidekirkland created a tapestry of humanity with story was easily one of the best experiences I've had as an educator. #ILA19

[Dana Onayemi, EdD (she/her) @EdDOnayemi]

As a former foster youth, I can say that school was my refuge from my real life. I needed my teachers to SEE ME. . . not my grades or test scores. #ILA19 #ILAequity #TraumaAffectsEveryone

[Dana Onayemi, EdD (she/her) @EdDOnayemi]

Too many Ed leaders offering bandaids for gaping infectious wounds. Let’s get to the root or the infection—oh it’s oppression! Now, let’s do this! #Imagine4edu #Imagine4justice

[Dana Onayemi, EdD (she/her) @EdDOnayemi]

I think all presenters at all Ed conferences should have to label themselves as #StatusQuo idea sharers, or #Transformative anti-racist leaders. That would make it easier to plan out sessions. That’s my biggest takeaway from #ILA19 #IRC2019!

@GaryRGrayJr Kids and their future.

[Dana Onayemi, EdD (she/her) @EdDOnayemi]

My homeschooled high-schooler is enjoying the conversation about equity and SEL, but she wonders why the kids don't get to share what this means to them. They need to be more visible in all the work we do. #ILAequity #ILA19

[Dana Onayemi, EdD (she/her) @EdDOnayemi]

Is there such thing as an equity coach in schools as a formal position? There should be. #ILA19 #ILAequity

[Dana Onayemi, EdD (she/her) @EdDOnayemi]

Professional learning focused on SEL just isn't good enough. Not yet. We need transformative THINKERS and leaders. #ILAequity #ILA19
