A simple leadership tip: People need to not only hear your words they also need to see your actions.

'Which ideologies are implicit in the text? What assumptions are made? How does this text/messages reinforce existing relations of power and inequality, and/or how might the text challenge or improve these power dynamics?' #ShawandCrowther #HowTheyCritLit #HowDoYouCritLit

Shaw and Crowler (2017) outline a three-stage process of decoding texts and their interconnections #HowDoYouCritLit 1/1

[CritTheLitDC @CritDc]

Stage 3: Explaining the meaning of the text in terms of
wider social contexts and inequitable power dynamics.
‘What is the message about?’ ‘Why was it produced?’ ‘What values and beliefs are behind the text?’ #ShawandCrowther #HowTheyCritLit #HowDoYouCritLit

A3. Teachers have shared with me that they took more time to get to know their Ss & did check-ins more often during the pandemic. Especially virtually.

Now they want to do that more no matter if F2F or virtual. Connecting more often for a strong sense of belonging. #teachpos

Ensuring that #LGBTQ+ voices are amplified in all PK-12 settings is important! Thanks to @ABQschools for daring to engage district leaders, campus administrators, and teachers in these important conversations via the #C6BiliteracyFramework and the 3 goals of #duallanguage!
