@pgorski @UCLAParentPower “If I am not actively anti-racist, I am not trauma-informed.”

[Paul Gorski | Equity Literacy Institute @EquityLiteracy]

My latest article arguing for 3 transformative commitments for trauma-informed ed: (1) attend first to what traumatizes students AT SCHOOl, (2) attend to the traumatic impacts of systemic oppression (in part by fighting it), and (3) demolish hyper-punitive school cultures.

Organizations must build trusting relationships based on cultural sensitivity to reach & effectively serve Hispanic families during the pandemic. When families trust an organization, they may be more willing to work with that organization. https://t.co/uJI1AkjL9J via @NRCHispanic

"Community can be built every day, in every interaction with another person, when you listen, bridge differences, and embrace healthy conflict. Know what kind of community you want to be a part of and to create, and then move to build it." (Onward, p. 122)
