How do we capture joy in classroom data? Ever thought about that? How do we capture racial literacy growth through data?

This is qualitative data, not quantitative (necessarily). The latter has its worth, for sure- but it's not the end all be all. But in a school it is.

We have to really model what equity looks like because we live in a time where words don't necessarily translate into action.

I am thankful for all the examples I have in this journey.

Nex Benedict should be alive right now.

A beautiful, brilliant, and bold non-binary 16 year old child has been murdered.

Oklahoma state representatives didn’t protect Nex. Instead they took away their books, access to healthcare, the ability to use the bathroom, punished them…

Nina Simone – child prodigy, singer, songwriter, activist, and civil rights activist – was born #OnThisDay 90 years ago in 1933. Simone composed music that expressed the best and worst of the human condition. #BHM

We mourn the tragic loss of Nex Benedict (Choctaw), a 16-year-old non-binary high school student who died after being brutally assaulted. This senseless act of violence serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing dangers our 2SLGBTQIA+ relatives face.
