Boy do I love this. Anytime I need to remind my players they’re human, I just show them the last 5 minutes of Pixar’s Coco.

Students from @CPPSchools created their own model for culturally responsive teaching while working through our Students’ Six process this week. #edequity

Loving my work / team!

[Equity Collaborative @EquityCollab]

Half of our team was training future principals today. The other half was preparing students to train their teachers. We work with all parts of the system because that’s what equity change takes. (Student photos in 🧵)

Shout out to my colleague Dr Aaron Johnson sharing his story and research on Black male literacy! Worlds colliding as I sit with current @EquityCollab colleagues and reuniting with former @PartnersSI colleagues leading for equity in BCPS.

I remember being asked in an interview last year, “would I still welcome my students with customized greetings once they return?” My response remains the same, you don’t have to physically touch a child to actually “touch” a child. #thedopeeducator

Supt: I'm hoping your team can help us meet our racial equity goals. Where do we start?

Me: By mapping out all the ways racism operates in your district.

Supt: Well, we're not ready for that conversation.

Me: I know you don't realize it, but you've just started the mapping.

The time is now. With new proposed investments in direct student supports (social workers, counselors, culturally-specific partnerships & more), I am discontinuing the regular presence of School Resource Officers @PPSConnect. We need to re-examine our relationship with the PPB.
