In case you’re still wondering what white privilege looks like, go on ahead and turn on the news. Then, compare the police response. How did they respond to protests for Black lives? How are they responding now? Why is that? 🤔
"Many people work hard, but few people work on the highest and best thing.
Usually, it takes no more effort to work on high leverage tasks than it does to work on low leverage ones.
It's just a matter of directing your energy."

“The chief lesson I have learned in a long life is that the only way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him; and the surest way to make him untrustworthy is to distrust him and show your distrust. – Henry L. Stimson https://t.co/LbcNzvi3VV
Taryn talking seating for partnerships, turn & talks, and book clubs in K-2! Getting our workshop on! Homegrown Institute @dentonisd coming to a close on day 1! @TarynVanderburg@TCRWP @Disdhomegrown @LucyCalkins
Everyone @FSSLowerSchool is learning with Taryn Vanderburg! 3rd graders are building deeper reading comprehension by studying characters in the books they read. And our teachers are refining their teaching craft by watching Taryn’s every move. Good stuff!
@FSSLowerSchool teachers observing Taryn Vanderburg from @TCRWP as she teaches a small group of readers to “Stop in the name of reading” - pausing to think about surprising or important parts.
K-6 Teachers worked with Ms. Taryn Vanderburg for professional development on Lucy Calkins Units of Writing today. Our elementary students have been working hard and focused on improving writing this year!
The single most important factor of a school is the collegial relationships among teachers. The belief that these students are OUR students.
