What makes you special?
Amidst the excitement & nervousness of a new school year, we invite your students & you to embrace all the wonderful things that make you, you! Read @JasonReynolds83's poem & discuss how you'll motivate others to step into their greatness this year.
Cultures of domination wield fear to enforce separation and oppression. We recognize the valid fear the LGTBQ2IA+ community experiences from the dominant culture.
This #PrideMonth, we invite you to reflect on how we can collectively ensure the safety of our LGTBQ2IA+ community.
Growing up with my dad locked up & with other family jailed, I couldn’t get 1 good book to help me process. This list is huge for kids. Grateful these other authors are viewing the topic from other angles & that HANDS is on it. Thanks @sljournal for this.
We had an amazing author visit from Joanna Ho yesterday! She shared her story and how she became an author. Thank you Cougar Ed Fund for supporting this visit! #bettertogether @JoannaHoWrites
How do your values guide your work throughout the year?
#LiberatEDSEL’s work is driven by our shared values of radical love, listening, healing, abolition, justice, & collective liberation. Values create a foundation to interrogate our individual & collective actions.

It’s #worldreadaloudday! Did you know that daily reading aloud is proven by research to put them nearly a year ahead in school, regardless of all other circumstances! Yes! Plus it brings happiness and a feeling of wellbeing so it’s great all around!
We hope you can spend time with people you love and get to spend time out in this beautiful November weather! We are so grateful for our fantastic community full of caring and compassionate people who support our students every day!
