Super proud of our students who are leading the campaign against the proposed Bill H.92 in VT. Please sign their petition to keep our school flagpoles a place where we can show commitment to equity and inclusion.

@noahwitkemele tell me about it

[amy königbauer @amyk_pilot]

thank you for calling us in @DrIbram we no longer want to live in a place where “Denial Is the Heartbeat of America”. let’s tell the truth in all it’s beauty and horror. we can’t move forward unless we really know where we’re starting from.

[amy königbauer @amyk_pilot]

we don’t do anything alone, really. except maybe reflect on if we are telling the truth. today, thanks to a student, a mentor who used to be a student, and one wise friend we made this MLK Day Welcome: https://t.co/mVKjkZDqwe

deconstructing systems. balance: developing relationships while changing policy that is harmful and upholds oppression. I need to find out how to change the systems (school, society, identity) from the top while working on the ground. #vted #systemicchange #deconstructsystems

What do you know about Discord? Is it safe to use with my students for critique and writing groups? #vted #teachers #helpmeout

Be a better humans. Plant forests of compassion. Fix your hearts or die.

@PeterLangella Also, our students who’s parents aren’t American citizens are saying the same thing. There is no neutrality.

@meg_allison Thank you, Meg. I do want to be all those things, so I am relieved that is coming through. Let's keep going... until everyone feels included.

[amy königbauer @amyk_pilot]

Hummm. Is the resource list I made for my students biased? It's just been updated - I am looking at it thinking... this says something about me and my interests. Doesn't it?

This resource list is intentionally broad, for personalized learning projects.

[amy königbauer @amyk_pilot]

@JMAbair thank you for this Jill!!

[amy königbauer @amyk_pilot]

Take care. With a regulated nervous system, you can do just about anything. This includes but is not limited to: creating truly equitable systems and structures, funding art programs and artists, and continuing to practice but not to be perfect.

This quote from chapter two of "Teaching to Transgress" makes me ask a lot of questions.

Is empowerment a collective goal in our schools? Or is conformity?

What are you doing to live to your fullest potential?

I haven't seen standardization empower someone, but I sure as hell have seen personalization do it.
