Still in awe of the ideas and everything from @chrisemdin at #RESI2022… So grateful to be in that space and very appreciative for being able to catch him in the hallway afterwards to say hello. I’ll definitely be replaying his words in my mind throughout the school year. Wow.

“Inclusion is in our teaching, content, and relationships… Inclusion is not just the spatial arrangement - it’s how we include our kids in the classroom ecology.” - Subini Ancy Annamma, @StanfordEd at @ReimagineEdTC #RESI2022

[Maddie Dressner @MsDressner]

Powerful points from Subini Ancy Annamma of @StanfordEd about the need to shift away from approaches that are focused on “fixing students instead of fixing broken systems” #RESI2022 @ReimagineEdTC
