Depending on the cultural landscape of the school, even having the conversation could create difficulty for them. #falconslearn

[Dayson Pasión @MrDpasion]

I worry about our Latinx and immigrant communities in schools where they are a much smaller population. Is this conversation even happening at their schools? #falconslearn

[Shayla C Wiggins @shaylacwiggins]

A4: Our sincere concern for their well being. Respect for them as valuable individuals. Gain a better understanding of the challenges they face. Work with them toward practical solutions.

This approach shows respect! I appreciate this. #falconslearn

A3: Hard to answer, in my opinion I don't know what our families' definitions of a safe space might look like or entail, I would love to open up my classroom up for open discussions and solutions but it comes down to what does a safe space look like for them? #falconslearn

[Shayla C Wiggins @shaylacwiggins]

A3: Get to know people. Listen to their story. Find out their goals and needs. Act when appropriate. Get out of the way when appropriate. We are not everyone's savior! Sometimes we are the barrier to the solution they are going after for themselves. #falconslearn

[Shayla C Wiggins @shaylacwiggins]

A3: Listen. Learn. Think. Reflect. Empathize by trying to understand what that would be like, responding the way we would want others to respond to us. #falconslearn

[Shayla C Wiggins @shaylacwiggins]

@MrDpasion Interesting thought

[Shayla C Wiggins @shaylacwiggins]

I appreciate the humility in this and willingness to reflect on self. #falconslearn

[Nate Bourne @TeacherNWB]

A bit ashamed that, collectively, we as educators know very little when we serve a community so impacted. I wonder how much is my head in the sand and how much is ICE’s purposeful ‘quietness’ to the greater community #falconslearn

@GMSfalcon Como se dise en ingles por favor #falconslearn

Just had a conversation this week with an administrator about the difference an Academic Coach makes on a teacher's perspective. Teachers appreciate feedback on their practice from a professional who is non-evaluative. #coachingmatters #falconslearn

A7: So found this defn...An implicit bias, or implicit stereotype, is the unconscious attribution of particular qualities to a member of a certain social group.
Trying to see myself. I'm open to feedback. Help me out. What am I doing and don't realize?

[Shayla C Wiggins @shaylacwiggins]

A6: Embrace a growth mindset when approaching the biases we are not proud of. #falconslearn

[Shayla C Wiggins @shaylacwiggins]

A6: Listen. Be open to hearing and analyzing feedback from others that could give clues about our biases. Self reflect. #falconslearn

[Shayla C Wiggins @shaylacwiggins]

A4: Bias tends to hide so it is there, even if we don't realize it. #falconslearn

[Shayla C Wiggins @shaylacwiggins]

Hey Falcon Fam... A5 I'm sure implicit bias is in our policies. Even if multiple people contribute to the creation of them, there common biases will show up in the policies. #falconslearn

[Shayla C Wiggins @shaylacwiggins]

So proud of my student! Taking us into double overtime! Let's go @GMSfalcons! #WeGotThis

[Shayla C Wiggins @shaylacwiggins]

A7: I will continue to genuinely care about students and their futures, will encourage them to be their best selves #falconslearn
