Student today: "I don't think I can finish this on time."
Me: "How many more days do you need before you can submit something you're proud of?"
Them: "Um...two?"
Me: "Sounds good."
Them: "Will you take points off?"
Me: "Why would I do that?"
Them: 🤗

Lessons from women leaders who've skillfully handled the pandemic:
1. Widen the circle and include everyone.
2. Tell the truth -- even when that truth is ugly.
3. Be a real human being, not a caricature.
4. Make tough calls without apology.

A core skill of emotional intelligence is treating your feelings as a rough draft.
Like art, emotions are works in progress. It rarely serves you well to frame your first sketch.
As you gain perspective, you can revise what you feel. Sometimes you even start over from scratch.

“If teachers are assigning grades right now, what they are grading is privilege. Without the equalizing force of the school building and its services, limited as they are, teachers are grading on access to technology, will, food, housing security, and ableism.” --Sim Kern
