This "day of reckoning" should have come from the government and our 'systems' - education, health, justice, for a start! Great modelling of accountability, Stuff! Just so we are clear, Pākehā whānau, fixing our racism is our responsibility!! bit.ly/2JsJOrm

During lockdown last year I wrote a blog post “Colouring in your Virtual White Spaces.” As you all zoom into students’ homes and lives again it’s worth repeating. See the original post here ow.ly/h2yP50FYvbJ... and download the free resource to audit all your white spaces.

Blog: The Schools’ White Spaces Pandemic. WHAT IF our scientists, doctors, nurses, had said “We are in new territory with this pandemic. I know! Let’s tweak around the edges. Sound familiar? We are again right where we have the choice to do better. ow.ly/QrgK50G1f1p

All teachers need to watch Q&A with Oscar Kightley 2 weeks ago !ow.ly/b1nG50KpUlN "The ‘gold’ lies between the Qs & As, in the white spaces and attitudes laid bare, and in the further critical questions it poses for our teacher practice." ow.ly/P9jX50KpUvI....
