Check this out @SenAlexander, @MarshaBlackburn, & @RepDavidKustoff! Please assist our individuals at Sweet Jordan’s located in West TN. A policy/rule does not always make the most sense. There has to be a solution. #allmeansall @FoxNews @CNN @MSNBC @CBSNews @ABC @NBCNews

Thank you @cara_skaggs !! I’m honored and quite speechless... and we know how rare that is. If only I had @STEMancipate ‘s vocabulary I might be able to find adequate words. https://t.co/WRIwhYcvdw

Current situation at home for many students of color:

No referrals
No suspension
Reading books and sitting in spaces that represent their culture
No “standardized” tests
No implicit bias
No oppressive policies

How will we get them to come back to school?

We must think about equity in our expectations.

Dr. Marczak will read the social story, “My School is Closed Today” at 9:30 on Thursday 3/26. This is a great way for our students to generalize skills and understand why we are not in school!!!

Emotional poverty with Dr. Ruby Payne @MPEStigers @resducks @rholmes0516 @APofJBES @julieatidwell Great day learning

[Mathew Portell @principalest]

Being a principal who attempts to operate in a trauma-informed mindset every day is HARD and if anyone indicates otherwise they aren't being truthful. We all have an operating stress response system... #traumainformed #mytruth #TIENetwork #traumaresponsive
