"We we need more educators of all backgrounds, but there is a particular need to diversify our workforce,” said state Superintendent @TonyThurmond about AB 520, which is sponsored by Thurmond and authored by @AsmMikeGipson. calmatters.org/commentary/my-…

.@CASELorg highlights this framework from @BELEnetwork to help create culturally responsive classrooms: belenetwork.org/wp-content/upl…

"We encourage educators to seek out opportunities to engage in dialogue and unlearn biases and deficit ideologies about students, parents, and communities. We also advocate that educators move to practice the types of teaching that will benefit all learners." #EdChat

@AssemblyDems @Ash_Kalra “We urge policymakers to act intentionally, learning from the experience of educators, students and families." Thank you Jamey for being our voice. #edequity #teacherleadership @LDH_ed @TonyThurmond

Today Members on the Assembly Education Committee are meeting with educators & state leaders to discuss addressing the digital divide, #DistanceLearning, student mental health, the learning gap & reopening schools safely #caleg

@KrisciaCabral Also I recently shared @RaceEmbrace recommendations for literature selections. Just because main characters are people of Color is not enough. We have to ask critical questions to ensure negative stereotypes are not reinforced.

Q5 is lengthy... It is definitely a 2-parter... #caedchat

@KrisciaCabral Because our student population is primarily African American and LatinX, I share stories primarily through literature. We have literature circles/discussions. I don’t and have never been a strictly textbook teacher. I teach what is culturally relevant to my students. #caedchat

Q5: Do you and the academic materials you use uphold whiteness or lift up the voices and experiences of people of color? How are you uplifting your students of color all throughout the year? #caedchat

@JoAnnFoxEDU Q.4 I know the danger of a single narrative or story. I’m a Black teacher, I experience many of the same things my students do... unfair labeling, bias, etc #caedchat

Q4 How does your power and privilege show up in your work with students, take up space, or silence others? What single narratives are you telling yourself about students, and how does that affect grading, behavior management, and other interactions? #caedchat

@KrisciaCabral @JoAnnFoxEDU Q.3 I truly believe in the power of equity, we can help all of our students when we replace complacent attitudes and acknowledge the voices of all school community members. I advocate for my students on many platforms. I work with members of our leadership team#caedchat

How do you put your understanding of racism into use when working with colleagues and within a school system? How do you support others doing good work in this area, and find allies? #caedchat

@JoAnnFoxEDU @KrisciaCabral A2. I took Pan African Studies as my concentration @csunorthridge. I learned about my history for the first time beyond enslavement#caedchat

Q2 Beyond lived experience, how have you learned more about the history and effects of racism? What sources have been most impactful? #caedchat

@KrisciaCabral Freshman at Compton High School. We didn’t have textbooks and enough chairs. We were on lock downs frequently. I also experienced the Riots of 92. I learned that cards were not stacked fairly as a young Black girl.

To change a system, we have to disrupt patterns of injustices. Today that disruption occurred in Palmdale with a #BlackLivesMatter protest. I was able to protest with my daughter. We are anti-racist citizens. I do appreciate @TomLackey36 @stevehofbauer but more work is needed.

For those of you who are tired of reading about racism, I’m tired of black and brown bodies being killed by it. I’m tired of watching some white people be more upset by those who are protesting racism as opposed to the racism itself. latimes.com/world-nation/s…

@AmericanAir My family and I were harassed by intoxicated passengers, your flight staff response was full of bias and microagressions. Maybe because your recognition of diversity is only dedicated to a day?#youdon’tgetit#willneverflyagainonAmericanAirlines

This #WorldDiversityDay, we’re thankful to our #AATeam Diversity Global Leads Council for leading our efforts around inclusion and diversity. You pave the way for us to be better — embracing differences and encouraging us to learn more about each other.

TEACHERS who are forced to do all your work online! I’ve got 50 more Surface Laptops to give away to any educators who need a new device. Please tag your favourite teachers and I’ll pick 50 at random. PS- Teachers, you’re allowed to be your own favourite and tag yourself! 🙌🏾

The upheaval of schools around the nation gives us a chance to hit the reset button on how we view education, writes @teachplusCA Fellow Jennifer Click. Schools provide meals, safety, comfort, and more that the nation now recognizes as needs. buff.ly/2vBPt82
