@kathryn_hadden Great questions! I feel confident for the future leadership of Catholic Education! #PQP2

[Amanda Salameh @shurinator]

@JuliePqp @kathryn_hadden Yes, confidentiality is so critical for honesty

[Amanda Salameh @shurinator]

@de_jonka @kathryn_hadden Yes!!!! Social justice! So students can dig in and feel apart of a change and see themselves as part of a solution

[Amanda Salameh @shurinator]

@lharris_vp @kathryn_hadden Great point! We can be vulnerable and make it in to a teachable moment for our students and ourselves!

[Amanda Salameh @shurinator]

@stephkoeks @kathryn_hadden Great point! Happier and more confident students will eventually be indicated in the data of scores!

[Amanda Salameh @shurinator]

@TrishBarr6 @kathryn_hadden Empowerment! Confidence! Setting them up for success right from the start!

[Amanda Salameh @shurinator]

@BartVanslack @mollykules @MrsTVentura @kathryn_hadden Great point, not sure I have an answer…

[Amanda Salameh @shurinator]

@kathryn_hadden #PQP2 @kathryn_hadden by seeing a difference in the confidence and overall level of happiness of our students…might not be quantified by data but seen by attitudes!

[Amanda Salameh @shurinator]

@Cathy54699753 @kathryn_hadden Having students take more of an active role in their learning by starting with their backgrounds and cultures!

[Amanda Salameh @shurinator]

@JuliePqp @kathryn_hadden Truth!!!!!

[Amanda Salameh @shurinator]

@kathryn_hadden Respect is key, also being vulnerable and admitting that we don’t know everything and asking those who do for help

[Amanda Salameh @shurinator]

@lharris_vp @stephkoeks @kathryn_hadden It should be our job as educators to inform ourselves so we can better understand and represent diversity across the curriculum

[Amanda Salameh @shurinator]

@MarcollaPatrick @kathryn_hadden Yes! Looking at the curriculum through many lenses

[Amanda Salameh @shurinator]

@BartVanslack @kathryn_hadden Guest speakers or multi diverse presentations would be one way to do this

[Amanda Salameh @shurinator]

@kathryn_hadden #PQP2
Look at the curriculum through different lenses and recognize that many “textbooks” are written from one perspective, so seek many sources for information
