Hi Everyone! I’m Whitney. I teach AM/PM kindergarten at Ivy. I love how each new school year feels like a fresh start. The possibilities seem endless! #D25forEquity

A1: Be informed, get out and vote, and encourage others to do the same. #D25forEquity

A2: It helps bring to light that we all need to work toward becoming antiracist. We all have the responsibility to act no matter our race. #D25forEquity

A4 (2/2): In a remote setting, partnering with families is more important than ever. Everyone is faced with unique challenges. Being responsive to each family’s needs will help ALL students access the learning. #D25forEquity

A4 (1/2): This past spring COVID magnified the inequity that exists in our nation’s education system. Some districts were able to provide Ss with tools for remote learning while others were not. The disparity fell largely on class and race lines. #D25forEquity

A5: For me, it starts with relearning parts of history as many people’s stories were not represented in what I read and studied. #D25forEquity

A6: RULER training begins with Ts because Ts must understand their own emotions before helping Ss. Combating these disparities requires a similar approach. It starts with examining our own identities and developing an awareness of our privilege and biases. #D25forEquity

Excited for this book to arrive later this month! I’m eager to see what conversations it will spark in our class community this fall.

This means so much! Thank you, Gonzalez Family! Connie L Gonzalez

Reading Rough Draft Math and continually thinking about how I can teach students to talk to learn rather than talk to perform. #d25RoughDraftMath

By taking off the question in a word problem, it allowed us to focus making sense of the task as well as the structure of the problem #D25RoughDraftMath
