Curiosity: If you are a principal or a leader in education, who are your role models? Who do you look to for inspiration?

Many people see grief as pain. They avoid it, suppress it, or race to process it so they can expel it from their lives. Here’s a beautiful alternative: grief is unexpressed love. Holding onto it is a way of staying close to the people we’ve lost.

Notice how it requires a white male general to explain CRT in order for the mainstream to pause & listen while the Black woman scholar behind the theory remains largely unknown by those discussing it

Lesson idea: have students adapt from the graphic below. E.g. advice from a dog; advice from the ocean; advice from a musician, etc. Brainstorm your own list. Once you have a list, pick one and write. (My apologies: I do not know the source of the chart).

FULL AMANDA GORMAN POEM: “We will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one ... There is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.” The 22-year-old is the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history: nbcnews.to/3isX8JY

Internal thoughts: If we say that we welcome conflict in education, don't we also have to say that we welcome emotions? By creating a culture that welcomes and recognizes that emotions are apart of educators' lived experiences, are we resisting dominant workplace culture?#SEL


Reason #146 why I appreciate Cornelius Minor and his ways of being an educator and thinking about schooling.

Not sure where to start? "Antiracist" Grading Starts with You w/@MisterMinor has stuck with me since I first read it. We used it to launch a PD focused on feedback and assessment and it set the tone for equity and active antiracist teaching and learning. buff.ly/3gOeL4t

So often we hear, “I didn’t know what to say” when we encounter hate, racism, & bias. I love that you’ve given your school community language to interrupt & speak up in these moments. 🙌🏾@SUABULLDOGS #OneDegreeShift #SpeakUp

“Unity is great, but freedom is better. There’s a part of this population that has sacrificed their freedom time and time again for unity, and they’re tired of it...so if you’re asking us to come together, and that means my world doesn’t change…I don’t want that kind of unity.”

Wow, this from @ysimpsonpower is powerful. Should be required viewing.

Teachers' well-being affects student well-being. We need to take care of teachers, and to me, that means having honest conversations about our oppressive systems and confronting our own biases and assumptions. Collective identity work can build deeper trust. #teacherwellbeing

In this moment of exalting uprisings and reëmergent social movements, @KeeangaYamahtta writes, we cannot overlook the disturbing history of the Supreme Court and its regressive role in American society. nyer.cm/20O37pT
