Thankful to work with these three. The 2nd Semester is off to a successful start and we are so glad to have students back in the building this week! It is great being a Royal! @HSEPrincipal@staceybrown00@Jaggac4@HSEAthletics
So impressed with the talent and dedication of our choirs. To deliver such an incredible performance after almost exclusively virtual preparation and numerous COVID-sized obstacles—you are all amazing! Proud to be a Royal! #livestreamconcert @HSEPerfArts @HSEPrincipal
Southeastern Symphony members created this offering of music in support of one of our own Royals, Mr. Neil Wagoner and his family. They continue to be in our thoughts as we hope for a successful and healthy recovery. https://t.co/FAnAkembwV @HSEPrincipal@HSESchools @HSEPerfArts
Diversity is who is in the room.
Inclusion is who has influence in that room.
Anti-racism is a mindset, way of being, and goal for a group of people in a room.
These are not interchangeable terms.
YOU can change the climate and culture of your grade level, your department, your coaching staff, your school. If you are waiting for someone else to change it, you could be waiting forever.
Students in Intro the 3D art making beautiful sculptures at home out of paper...and these are just exercises in composition...can't wait to see what they're doing at the end of the semester.@HSESchools@HSEPrincipal
This really spoke to me today...Are we listening? I wasn’t.
“To refuse to listen to someone’s cries for justice and equality until the request comes in a language you feel comfortable with is a way of asserting your dominance over them in the situation.” @IjeomaOluo
How will we focus on essential content & maximize instructional time? Instead of trying to “get through” the standards & constantly assess, how can we focus on using formative assessment processes to provide quality feedback that empowers learners? @MathEdLeaders#INspirEDmath

Excited to announce I've launched 3 online self-paced mini-courses as a start to the @EquityLiteracy's new Equity Learning Institute. The first 2, Understanding Equity and Intro to Equity Literacy, are FREE. Please visit and share! https://t.co/xlK1KJ6NI8
For white teachers making commitments to learn and take action to be more actively antiracist and work toward social justice, I offer a synthesis with goals and actions from BIPOC leaders we can all follow, read, listen to, and learn from every day. https://t.co/OrgzbaXHqF
@flyingmonkey13 Ask questions.
Ask how staff would be/were impacted by decisions.
Notice staff- as people, as professionals, as employees, as stakeholders.
Ask for input when appropriate.
Explain your rationale.
Be compassionately decisive.
Follow through.

Absolutely love this racial literacy development framework for Teacher Ed by @RuizSealey. Requires an ethical commitment to serving our communities through critical love & an archaeology of self where we unroot the beliefs, biases and ideas that shape our work #AERADivKChat
