@mscipteaches7th @larrydlewis2424 You’re right … it’s hard though! The more authentic we are the more we can learn from each other, and the more we will all feel genuinely heard. #EDLR5402

“It is conventional wisdom that any organization, including school systems, is only as strong as their leaders” -S.J. Zepeda et al. — pressure to be the best you can be each day. #EDLR5402

“Adults best learn when they find subjectively meaningful, either because it is something they want to learn or because it is something they experience as important or necessary for them to learn” -(Illeris, 2004) this just shows the importance of sharing your why! #edlr5402

@JD_Marona @BernsteinCT I have felt this too, and I believe it’s in the top 10 lessons I learned that I give to student teachers that leave my room. They don’t get it yet, but it’s a reality. You have to rely on your colleagues to pick up where you can’t. #EDLR5402

“As long as schools put everyone against everyone else, as long as success is defined at the expense of others being called failures, massive inequities follow” Ray McDermott… perfect words for why no child can be forgotten or written off. #EDLR5402

[Tiffany Bardos @BardosTiffany]

Never thought about the need to differentiate teacher prep programs to support different cultures. It makes complete sense, as we work to do this for our students. Why does that change for adults? #EDLR5402

[Tiffany Bardos @BardosTiffany]

@MmeScarbrough “Get away from teaching the products of culture” absolutely! It is so easy to get stuck in that. It’s easier. It’s not right. Cultures are more than just a few staple items. #EDLR5402

[Tiffany Bardos @BardosTiffany]

@MmeScarbrough Remember the quote from Niemoller “First they came for the socialists I did not speak up …and then they came for me. There was no one left to speak. that’s what I think of as the outcome of tolerance and silence. #EDLR5402

[Tiffany Bardos @BardosTiffany]

Tolerance isn’t enough it seems like a fancy word for “I’m not ready or willing to take a stand” as leaders we cannot afford to be tolerant. We must be dynamic agents for equity. #EDLR5402

[Tiffany Bardos @BardosTiffany]

It all starts with a conversation. We have to come together. We have to be authentic. We have to listen to understand. Only them can progress be made. #EDLR5402

[Tiffany Bardos @BardosTiffany]

@TheBarbashShow @DrewSellitti just like Drew said in class “innovation comes from discomfort.” If we aren’t uncomfortable we will never see that a change needs to be made. #EDLR5402

[Tiffany Bardos @BardosTiffany]

@mrs_bruko It’s so important to be seen and heard. Imagine the world we would create if everyone felt like they were valued for their authentic self. #EDLR5402

[Tiffany Bardos @BardosTiffany]

Diversity is as diverse as the word implies. Let’s remind ourselves not to to forget all it’s different forms in education. And be humble enough to listen when we have overlooked a difference and do the work to advocate for all our students and staff. #EDLR5402

[Tiffany Bardos @BardosTiffany]

“Institutions of learning and the classroom itself reproduce the power structure found in society at large.” Reminds me of Dr.Hill schools are built to recreate what is currently in society. -We need to do better #EDLR5402

[Tiffany Bardos @BardosTiffany]

@SChilone I know. We talked about this in my first class. It is good to hear that we are not alone. I think we know that, but we forget. It’s important to argue with that little voice in the back of our head. #EDLR5402

[Tiffany Bardos @BardosTiffany]

Inquiry as a stance teaches us to be cyclical in our professional space. Progress has no end. Improving is never done! #EDLR5402

[Tiffany Bardos @BardosTiffany]

@thelearningloop I love the idea of thinking of your professional learning calendar like your master schedule. It must be that important. Your school can’t run without a schedule your teachers can’t grow without professional learning. #EDLR5402

[Tiffany Bardos @BardosTiffany]

@thelearningloop Last night was great completely agree that too often we as educators are afraid to ask questions. We need to build that culture … if we don’t ask how will we grow?#EDLR5402

[Tiffany Bardos @BardosTiffany]

@LewistoryTeach @thelearningloop Absolutely. It’s such a good framework even outside of COVID. It could be used at the end of a year, end of student teaching … it’s a nice way to frame things to keep them fresh #EDLR5402

[Tiffany Bardos @BardosTiffany]

@SarahHylas Great job sparking my thoughts with your post. We need to make our initiatives match the school bit force our school to match the initiatives.
