A4 Circles create a space to come together as a community to become one unit. Remaining present and genuinely listening. We offer circle prompts in our book along with follow up questions to support connection and a feeling of being heard, seen, and understood. #G2great

A 3/3 “...we cannot engage with our students around these issues when we have not engaged with our own selves. We have to know who we are and where we stand in order to have genuine and meaningful conversations with ourselves and others” (Mentor and Sealy 2021) #G2Great

@quiche36 @DrMaryHoward So beautifully said!

A2 I love that the authors include both physical identities that happen at birth (hair skin) PLUS “layers of identity” we gradually add through life experiences. Too often we focus on physical attributes and ignore the transformational identity that occurs over time. #G2Great

A 2/3 Educators with a growth mindset understand the learning they do before, during, and after the lesson is crucial not only to their own sense of self-efficacy but also to students’ learning and understanding of their efficacy. Check out @quiche36 tools on pgs 21-22! #G2Great
