@EduColorMVMT A3: Language & context work together to provide a child's rootedness. Obviously, youth benefit from accessing whatever they learn in language(s) that are inviting & comprehensible on their terms
@EduColorMVMT A2: Remind students that performing 'smartness' is far different than cultivating knowledge & this classroom is a place where all can curate their own knowledge matrix
@EduColorMVMT A7: Much of what we are experiencing is manufactured crises and we are bearing witness to the direct impact. Name that reality in order to better understand what you can influence in the moment.
Respond on your terms instead of reacting on theirs
@EduColorMVMT Paid sabbaticals, clearly articulated crisis management plans, co created evals, reconfigured leadership models so teachers are not on the receiving end of thoughtlessness, grief, loss & sorrow support/counseling, I could go ON!!!
@EduColorMVMT Parents can become more informed about how their school functions then they can mobilize around those issues and direct concrete needs to the appropriate group responsible for those conditions
@EduColorMVMT Compounded institutional failures & ethical breeches are blamed on and often internalized by classroom teachers. No one should be expected to work inside such ongoing turmoil
@#NCORE2019@Walidah First keynote at NCORE 2019, Dr. Walidah Imarisha, dazzled as she anchored this conference into affirming and radical imagining. Stellar!!
@WalidahImarisha Walidah came through, y’all! Context. History. Provocation. She rooted this conference in ‘past present futures are now’ context. Stay brave.
