In "Where Have Our Children Gone?", I explore why students are disappearing from school and how we can bring them back. It’s more than just missed days—it’s about systems failing to meet their needs. Read more here: https://t.co/pxF65PKMfE

5 years ago, we talked about real integration—rooted in racial justice & shared power. Today, as Black enrollment drops and access narrows, this convo feels more urgent than ever. Let's talk.

The traditional approach to MTSS drew lines between students, categorizing them by their perceived needs and inadvertently fostering a deficit-based mindset that opposed the district’s desired focus on equity. —Dr. David E. Kirkland @forwardED_LLC @GBGEdu https://t.co/6U4esIKYb3

Are cellphone bans in schools missing the point? Instead of shutting phones out, we should teach students how to use them responsibly. Can we talk?

DEI work is still in its early stages, and it’s unlikely to be perfect from the start. It’s about growth and courage to confront uncomfortable truths, to keep pushing forward to create a more equitable future. 🌍💪 #DEI #Equity #CourageousConfrontations

Education must be more than a system; it must be a space for liberation. We can’t rely on old tools to create the future our children deserve. Let’s craft new possibilities that honor the dignity and dreams of every child.

Let us enter this school year with a renewed commitment to our Black boys, knowing that by lifting them, we become titans, lifting our world.
