I'm so excited that Jason Reynolds will be visiting us next week. Students and staff, do not miss it! Every time I've heard him speak, I am changed. Sounds dramatic, but it's true. ♥️

Valuing diversity and recruitment practices aren't enough. To provide all students with the benefits of a more diverse educator workforce, systemic change and intentional support for teachers of color is necessary.

Students need safe spaces to unpack Social Justice issues in school.

[Learning for Justice @learnforjustice]

Today, Derek Chauvin was found guilty. But our legal system is still far from just, and students may still feel a lack of closure. We hope you’ll reaffirm the value of Black lives and create space for students to process. These resources can help.

It’s crucial that when traumatic events happen, especially those that might resonate with particular pain for students in historically marginalized groups, schools do more than simply make counselors available.
