If you centre humanity in your equity work you cannot be silent on genocide

Most common response when I ask people on "equity committees" their primary current task: "rewrite diversity statement." P-12, HE, & nonprofits, often yr after yr. Low-impact busywork; appearing to "do" without doing. But leadership can say, "Look: we have an equity committee!"

Not a criticism of people on committees, some of whom want to do more. A statement on how institutions use the labor of people in their institutions (often disproportionately people experiencing the inequity) to stand in for actual institutional equity commitments.

Schools can be doing great things to celebrate & affirm Black cultures and communities and still be actively upholding systems of oppression against Black children

Reminds me of this! Still it baffles me how one much ‘be coachable’ s toxic & harmful to educators!Please know that you’re inspiring & incredible educator who makes lots of students seen and valued! We appreciate you❤️❤️ ⤵️ important thread! #ResponsiveTeachingandLearning #Trust

When children all around the world are writing words like these, maybe we should listen.

Create the test to demonstrate a problem to create the solution to sell the product to make money. This is a huge problem in public education.

Shairing this again as teachers are engaged in plf today! The purpose is not to criticise, rather an invitation to civic engagement & critical opportunity of learning to better serve our students & communities. We have a responsibility to uphold the well being of all our Ss.

I want to share a project from my class this week. I started by asking my students what they wanted to learn about for #BHM: Harlem Renaissance, Civil Rights Era, or the birth of hip hop. They picked hip hop.

My literacy lesson was taught in stations: shared reading, photography, video, and independent reading. Each student had a chance to read, write, watch, listen, and discuss 80’s hip hop culture.

Narcissism is a superiority complex. Impostor syndrome is an inferiority complex. Humility is a commitment to seeing yourself as complex. It’s about having self-awareness, not lacking self-confidence. The foundation of humility is accepting that you always have room for growth.

The racism behind chatGPT that we aren't talking about... This year, I learned that students use chatGPT because they believe it helps them sound more respectable. And I learned that it absolutely does not work. A thread. 🧵

This is so true! 🧡 🌐 teachergoals.com
