University teachers: What's the goal of your teaching? To develop students to their potential and facilitate their learning of your domain? Or to identify top students through rigorous evaluation, push them to advance the field? 1/2
Every classroom is a vision for a future not yet realized. We build momentum by creating spaces for youth to feel whole, empowered and confident in leading us #HipHopEd
How did studying historical disruptions and using it is a jumping off point for making help @presidioknolls students process living in COVID? Lots of powerful reflections. #MakerEdConvening
@JaleesaT speaking on Black makers at the #MakerEdConvening addresses the politics of #play for Black children.
What does it look like to have spaces at school where it’s safe for Black children to be creative & joyful? How can we, educators, shift how we do
