@SDPInstitute @alexandriajh3 @AngelJonesPhD @CoCoaCrazed @DrAaronJGriffen @MizRosado @MStricklandBSU @nataliyabrgnsky @silkeyjones @srosaldo To be an ally is to keep researching, learning, and be vulnerable. Call out your own biases and live in the discomfort because we have students/peers who are perpetually uncomfortable because of their existence! It is our duty as educators to do better. #SDPIChat #BlackObsidian

@SDPInstitute @alexandriajh3 @AngelJonesPhD @DrChezareWarren @GoodenPhD @MizRosado @MStricklandBSU @QuotableRebel @srosaldo Q7: Recently, the article "The Opportunity Myth" (by TNTP) really impacted our staff's conversation about anti-racist curriculum. Thank you @the_drmadonna for supporting and pushing our work at our school! #SDPIChat #BlackObsidian

I've encountered those stances before. NOT TRUE.

Where did they notice injustices? How do we need to improve as a school community?

We can't avoid the oppression that's happening in society. To do so is to miseducate students (1/2) #SDPIChat #BlackObsidian

[msjjhu @msjjhu]

@SDPInstitute @alexandriajh3 @CoCoaCrazed @DrAaronJGriffen @DrHenfield @GoodenPhD @Mr_Ankrum @silkeyjones Anti-racist topics are not separated from the academic curriculum. It needs to be embedded. #SDPIChat #BlackObsidian

[msjjhu @msjjhu]

@SDPInstitute @alexandriajh3 @CoCoaCrazed @DrAaronJGriffen @DrHenfield @GoodenPhD @Mr_Ankrum @silkeyjones It's important to continuously reiterate school stances on anti-racism. We get complaints about teachers talking about anti-racist topics often. We seek to understand where their discomfort lies and then reiterate the school's anti-racist stance. #SDPIChat #BlackObsidian

When confronted with anti-racist discussion, some teachers take it personally and it's essential to find where their knowledge gap is before making judgments.

They then listen/research, discuss/reflect, & grow.

Reach out to networks & mobilize staff leaders that can help develop PDs/PLCs/gather resources. Addressing different stakeholders on what the school is aiming to do to break current systems.
