@MelisBrand Welcome to MV! I love it here too!

Remember: Deep listening is your superpower this fall. Slow down and prioritize...
- Relationships over rigor
- Connection over content
- Support over supervision
- Courage over comfort
We can do this. We can humanize our schools and communities. We can speak truth to power.

@RobinDiAngelo telling us straight about whiteness and white privileged. Always processing how my whiteness affects me, trying to see my blind spots, and just be vulnerable in this work. Thank you @KatiePekel @UMN_CEHD for putting this together!

Thinking about all the black, brown, & low-income students who arrive at college & who are made to feel as if they don't deserve to be there, while so many wealthy students have their parents essentially buy their way into these schools & rarely experience the same skepticism.

Doesn’t sound like any elementary orchestra I’ve heard before. Moundsview music department is amazing! #batigers
