Learn why coach @JorgeDoesPBL likes to use empathy maps to “guide instructional decisions” that are best for his learners.

"Over these past 10 weeks, every student and every adult has been exposed to some form of trauma. We have to be very intentional to repair that trauma by building effective, long-lasting, warm relationships." @TheKoolestDoc on the role of #SEL in re-entry plans [@PanoramaEd]

Interrupting the forces of racism is ongoing, lifelong work because the forces conditioning us into racists frameworks are always at play. Our learning will never be finished.

I thank COH for building the foundation in academic skills for my boys, but more importantly sending them to DMS with being kind, compassionate, open to challenges, and embracing life. You can't measure that part with a state report card, as I measure that in my heart.
