Imagine if we had School Campuses instead of School Districts. All grade levels, All teachers, All students, All colors, All nationalities, All neighborhoods, and All economic statuses at one campus. #BeAboutItLive
A microagression I experienced was when I was told by a parent that they didn't realize I was a teacher at the school. They thought I was a choice student's parent. #BeAboutItLive
I posted the question about your first black teacher to friends and co-workers and some answers were that I was their first one. Some of my co-workers are former students. I teach 6th grade. Some friends said none. Most were high-school or college. #BeAboutItLive
Are we more focused on the pressure we are given to drive the school's results than we are on the student's growth? Are we more focused on how we look as a competent teacher than we are on student learning based on our proficiency review? Powerful Mr. White. #BeAboutItLive
Are there more black students in support programs just to get them to assimulate to the white standard of education? Is there truly a disability? #BeAboutItLive
I also am the only BIPOC in my school and I feel uncomfortable speaking up because I do not want to be the "expert" for the school. Your talk is very validating. #BeAboutItLive
