When the #ksedchat makes you proud to be a teacher

[Zachary Steen @zsteen92]

@brandi_unruh @smorgan_pln Anywhere, anytime. All the time. I think that these conversations can and should happen anywhere and anytime. It allows families to feel genuinely heard and understood.

@tweetMrEthan @smorgan_pln I love it! I made a point of this last year and interviewed families and presented information to my kindergarten students about the different cultures represented in our classroom.

[Zachary Steen @zsteen92]

@Librarystar We're definitely working on being better about CRT this year, especially getting to know our community and make sure our teaching practices are culturally responsive.

A5. Literacy curriculum that is inclusive and representative of the students in the school. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion teams that can advocate for students equal representation in the community, and events for students to learn about different cultures. #KSEDCHAT

@leandra0414 It's always better to be proactive than reactive!

[Zachary Steen @zsteen92]

@Gudde620 I love the idea of getting communities members involved and making sure their opinion is valued and heard!

@mrvesco @KSDEredesign It's all about the data

[Zachary Steen @zsteen92]

@tweetMrEthan @smorgan_pln This. I wish I could spend all day doing this one piece alone. My favorite part of teaching is the relationships we get to build with students and families.

[Zachary Steen @zsteen92]

@mrvesco @KSDEredesign I love it! I need a committee like this in my school. My biggest challenge this year has been being in a school that is 100% virtual all year long. Keeping 5 year olds engaged during a google meet is often a task. Shout out to @redbull for my daily energy

A4. The easiest way to assess the need is to ask and listen. Start that dialogue with community members and families. Give them an equal voice at the table and identify those issues as a community and create an action plan. #KSEDCHAT #AASL #KASL #IMLS #MOEDCHAT #ARKEDCHAT

@mrvesco I agree! Especially with the current climate of teaching during a pandemic.

@tweetMrEthan @smorgan_pln Have y'all been able to continue that with COVID this year? It hurt my heart having to shut our doors last year to visitors.

[Zachary Steen @zsteen92]

@a_bealer Our social media accounts are such a great way to let the community know what's going on in our schools and classrooms.
