"...why not get into our race and culture in the classroom? Why not try to know each other a little better?"

Great story from a middle school math teacher that illustrates the connection between relationships & holding space for conversations about race.

NEW: We Don’t Need CRT to Say That Race Matters. #mschat #middleschool @AMLE @Larryferlazzo

In Jay Wamsted’s Grade 8 math class he goes right for the conversation on race & culture when the chance arises. “Why not try to know each other a little better?”

We are big fans of read alouds and have seen them used effectively in so many #vted middle grade classrooms.

"...the vision should support differentiated PD so that all staff are getting what they need to continue to move toward proficiency in each of the district’s key areas of instruction."

Kudos to #vted districts w clear student-centered instructional visions grounded in equity!

"...Germán challeng[es] teachers to think about the difference between classroom management & body management & whether their management practices are mostly about control or truly about helping students grow."

Helpful review here of an excellent book.
