How can I do better? Tonight I am part of a book study with educators all over the states discussing Cultivating Genius with CCRYL folks. We need to become uncomfortable with our norms and teaching practices to be culturally responsive for ALL students.

[Chris Cherney @ccherney]

@andrealynnreich So true. Uncovered this quote in my reading this morning. Fredrick Douglass- 1857. When will discomfort become celebrated?

[Chris Cherney @ccherney]

These are the words I’ve been searching for! What am I doing each day to do better? Today I’m part of a cohort with educators world wide to discuss trauma informed practices. #knowbetterdobetter

Our students of color don't need saviors or helpers. They need advocates and allies.

When I'm revising a picture book, I read it aloud over and over and over again. And then I read it aloud. And then after that, I read it aloud again. And then again. That's the only way to make sure the music is just right.

When we know better, we do better. Building my knowledge this chilly Saturday morning.

@KyleneBeers I love this! I have a 10 yo student that is wired up about the inappropriate ads on YouTube. She declared she’d write 1,000 pages. I called her mom to let her know how excited I was for her daughter and she said, “She has been writing her whole lunch time!”❤️

@Mr_Schellenberg A2 The power of read alouds!! Providing windows and mirrors that represent our world. Providing time and space for kids to talk- asking guiding questions that foster deep discussions.

Introduced my February Writing Challenge with this... now students are sending jokes to the principal for his announcements from THEIR refrigerators! Unexpected bonus when we change things up!! #KellerKares #writingchallenge2021

[Chris Cherney @ccherney]

@MisterMinor @MsLauTweets Oh no! I have been talking about how fabulous this talk is, and today I went to rewatch and it is private. Did something change? Is it me? Can I recover? Please help... ❤️

@PEBCorg @inthegrowthzone we could road trip to Denver for some learning this summer if we don’t win a seat at this symposium!! #alwaysgrowing
