Building those relationships with our learners is critical. We know we learn better from those who show they truly care. Thanks @chrisemdin for the reminder. #healingcenterededucation

Why is belonging important? In #DesignforBelonging, @susiewise says "Belonging helps us feel fully human." We all long to belong somewhere and as educators, we want to create healthy opportunities for students to feel like they are seen, heard, and valued.

We will never forget. Cops killed a #StopCopCity activist to stop the movement, and now they want to make it illegal to protest. We are strong together, growing stronger every day.

@MariahLanders Thanks for this thread- I definitely thought Finland had it together & was a go to model for enlightened education but clearly they have their own antiracist work to do. Appreciate you lifting up the pedagogies of Black & brown educators.
