@NikaWhite Our grad is headed to London in July. Her friend and fellow grad is currently in a dance company there. Roommate will be in grad school there in the fall.
UK needs to prep for an atmospheric shift with all these bright and talented young WOC coming their way!

@NikaWhite Congratulations to your sweet girl!

[DeVita Scott @devitarscott]

@NikaWhite How exciting! Congratulations!!

We know executive function skills are essential for learning—but did you know we can get a head start on teaching those skills as early as preschool?

Thanksgiving for Corinne Oestreich growing up was what it is for most children ― with one important distinction. "My family worked really hard to keep the narrative of the dinner between Indians and Pilgrims out of it," she writes. https://t.co/WKuIOOqkVD

Instead of focusing on learning loss, what if we asked students to start the year by reflecting on how they've grown *because* of the pandemic? https://t.co/skfoBTOeJf

[DeVita Scott @devitarscott]

Well said.

[Meghan Lawson @Meghan_Lawson]

Perhaps instead of focusing on major changes to our instructional practices this summer, we could instead focus on being whole and well. When we center our humanity and humanity of others, the conditions for learning improve monumentally.

Let’s be human this school year.

Talk about leaning into vulnerability! Sharing myself so publicly is outside of my comfort zone, but I’m learning how valuable it is to go there...beyond my comfort zone. If this piece speaks to just one person, it’s worth it. Thank you @PEPGreenville for providing this space.

"I don't want my children to only remember to wear masks, wash their hands and keep their distance from people. I want them to understand that this is a time when people need to show up for one another." https://t.co/8gdJQO1JmP

“...choice is an illusion for many SC families...already vulnerable children experiencing poverty will be in schools, exposing themselves and their families to the virus...”

Inequity is systemic.

Choice is a privilege.

TY @PEPGreenville for speaking up for the marginalized.
