“We must create a grading policy that is human-first, as this will be anti-racist by nature. By seeing our students as humans first, our grading policy will be centered around growth over random measures of compliance.” 🧡 @MisterMinor

It is critical that we have real conversations with our students on privilege and racism. Use your classroom for social justice!#TCH26410

“Even though my students had only six years of life experience by the time they reached my classroom, the centuries-led legacies of bias and racism in our country had already made an impact on their lives.” Just because we don’t talk about it, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening!

#Teachingforblacklives means that we must attack the injustices the education system was built on and reproduces today. Allow your students to use their voice and encourage their questions 💫#TCH26410

“The #BlackLivesMatter movement inspires us to fight the school-to-grave pipeline as an example of structured racism.” It’s time to provide a school-to-justice pipeline that encourages students to be good humans and recognize social justice issues in their community #TCH26010

“To create in a person the ability to look at the world for himself, create the ability to look at the world for himself, to make his own decisions... to ask questions of the universe and then learn to live with those questions.” -James Baldwin

A teacher’s responsibility! 🌟

I love teaching because it is an opportunity to shape young lives and the future. It is so humbling to watch students grow and transform, and they constantly motivate me through their determination and hardwork. I always leave the classroom with a smile from jokes! ✨ #TCH26410
