2/3 As the day progressed, staff was pampered with giveaways, including hotel stays and music therapy sessions. Staff then broke into groups to go on a nature walk, do yoga or jazzercise, create a charcuterie board, paint, make a vision board, holiday crafts, or relax w/ a movie.

1/3 During #WorldKindnessWeek, GACA leadership took some time out to focus on the heart. With educators being the heart of the school, they asked everyone to acknowledge those in the room who have made an impact on them, especially over the last school year, with a rose.

@adnlynch @GSUEdLead Amanda, those were the two terms that stuck with me as well. #GSUEdLead

@GSUEdLead A6: There is no magical equity program, and we must not “lose sight of the deliberate daily actions that constitute the process.”#GSUEdLead

[Caroline Fernandez @rhoden01]

@missTayjay2015 @GSUEdLead You make a valid argument, Taylor. Professional development without doing the work needed to affect curricula and instruction will not yield positive outcomes. #GSUEdLead.

[Caroline Fernandez @rhoden01]

@GSUEdLead A5: Continuously work to build our teachers’ capacity and buy-in so that they are engaged and take ownership of the process. #GSUEdLead

[Caroline Fernandez @rhoden01]

@NateilCarby @GSUEdLead Nateil, I completely agree. Leaders must be intentional about including a diverse group of voices to ensure that they are not reinforcing policies and procedures that hinder success. #GSUEdLead

[Caroline Fernandez @rhoden01]

@GSUEdLead A4: To avoid falling into an equity trap, school leaders should continuously work with their teams to build their capacity and address equity challenges in their building. #GSUEdLead

[Caroline Fernandez @rhoden01]

@j3schoeb @GSUEdLead Julia, this is a common and trap and the work is meaningless if the school system never gets past the stage of self-reflection and fails to penetrate the curricula, instruction, and policy. @GSUEdLead

[Caroline Fernandez @rhoden01]

@GSUEdLead A3: Spray-and-Pray Equity is the equity trap that sounds most familiar and the one I believe to be the most deceptive. We can train teachers on implicit bias, but without true buy-in nothing will change. #GSUEdLead

[Caroline Fernandez @rhoden01]

@KellyDKennedy @GSUEdLead Kelly, I completely agree. Leaders must not "lose sight of the deliberate daily actions that constitute the process." #GSUEdLead

[Caroline Fernandez @rhoden01]

@GSUEdLead A2: School leaders must be intentional about the practices, policies, and procedures they implement to ensure that they eliminate barriers that hinder success. #GSUEdLead.

@missTayjay2015 @GSUEdLead You make an excellent point, Taylor! Giving leaders an opportunity to be reflective and confront their own biases is an excellent way to promote culturally responsive leadership. #GSUEdLead

A6- Ensuring that our mission and vision statements “set the stage for a conceptual framework that promotes culturally responsive practices.” #GSUEdLead

@NateilCarby @GSUEdLead Well said, Nateil! CRSL has to be authentic, and if the leader has not internalized these beliefs and aligned them to their core values, it will never permeate to the staff. #GSUEdLead
