It doesn’tmatter how we get in to this work. It’s like a pool: get in the shallow end and work towards the deep OR cannonball into the deep end....JUST GET IN!!! #beaboutitlive #GetYourTeachOn

[Karen B @bigham_kl]

@MsEandME @CallMeShivy That’s a top 5 right there.

[Karen B @bigham_kl]

Maybe our “respect” goal to show students should be: I see YOU. I hear YOU. I understand YOUR perspective. I’m HERE FOR YOU. #beaboutitlive #GetYourTeachOn

@EA_Gruman Last summer (when in Canada), I learned about Canadian internment camps. I was surprised BUT also then realized how issues bleed across the borders. Why did I think problems stop at a border?

[Karen B @bigham_kl]

But listen deeply (too)!! #beaboutitlive #GetYourTeachOn

[Karen B @bigham_kl]

@CallMeShivy “Respect” could be subjective....couldn’t it? #BeAboutItLive #GetYourTeachOn @heywadeking @heyhopeking

“The resentment shift is selfless”. If I’ve made it about me as an individual, then I missed the point. If I’m making it about me....then I’m shifting it back to MY comfort level. Hello self-centered issue. #BeAboutItLive #GetYourTeachOn

@sarahplumitallo Reflecting...the history of this nation has never been peaceful. It’s been built on/around an infrastructure of oppression. From this moment on, I will not use peaceful when discussing history.

[Karen B @bigham_kl]

The more I learn about black history and peaceful protests and how little progress has been made...the more I realize how much I really DON’T know about the world I live in and the whitewashing I’ve been fed. #beaboutitlive #GetYourTeachOn

[Karen B @bigham_kl]

@sarahplumitallo Thank you for the push back. I’m thinking that just using the word protest would be better? “Peaceful” and history should probably never be paired together in my brain.

[Karen B @bigham_kl]

@Melie4cm Off topic...your dog pic looks like a relative!

[Karen B @bigham_kl]

And students need to see us take these risks. #beaboutitlive #GetYourTeachOn @heyhopeking

[Karen B @bigham_kl]

But the journey isn’t centered about you as an educator....it’s about your students becoming members of our current community. #beaboutitlive #GetYourTeachOn

[Karen B @bigham_kl]

And thank you to @heywadeking and @heyhopeking for bringing the continuous reflection

[Karen B @bigham_kl]

Does @CallMeShivy have his own session here? I could listen all day! Every post session debriefing is AMAZING! Thank you!!! #beaboutitlive #GetYourTeachOn
