@TonySinanis Thank you @TonySinanis. I wish more people had the courage to speak on this. When educators turn a blind eye to what is happening in the world, we are modeling behavior that makes students passive observers of oppression and all the ways it shows up.

Education is not just about teaching & learning; it’s about maintaining safe spaces for our kids & colleagues -especially those who have traditionally been marginalized- at a time where people are actively trying to erase our existence & weaponize our identities. #EdChat

Always glad to see our discussions having an immediate impact on practice! Thanks for demonstrating your learning @CayneLetizia

@HerricksSup lead an AMAZING interactive read aloud today! We loved thinking, predicting, connecting, & reflecting on Young Vo’s book, Gibberish! Ss enjoyed playing the Gibberish Game & we 💙 adding your name to our Name Jar. TY for being part of our class family! @SearingtownK5

our @chappaqua_csd DET lead by @InsightEdGroup spent the day learning together and planning our first School Equity Team meetings for the 22/23 academic year #WeAreChappaqua @CTinuke @pimtheeducator @DrAPease

@TonySinanis @HerricksSchools @TonySinanis Your trajectory in education is well deserved. The heart you bring to every role in your life, including being Paul’s dad, is inspirational. You are a good human so I know that in year 26 you’ll still be building a movement ❤️.

Important day is in the books… - Start of my 26th Year as an educator serving public schools in NYS - Day 1 as Superintendent of Schools in @HerricksSchools - First BOE Meeting in Herricks (albeit remote because I’m quarantined 🤦🏻‍♂️) #HackingLeadership #LeadLAP #edchat #SuptChat

P1 of the Color Lines Learning Team is in the books! We studied the social construction of race in America, experienced discomfort and looked at the patterns in our lives that do not serve us. I can’t wait for part 2! #ChappEquity #WeAreChappaqua foto by @profe_irizarry

What we hang on our walls can create identity affirming spaces that support positive identity development. Do the images on the walls of your classroom help students to think about power, equity, and anti-oppression? #ChappEquity #ChapPDTeam #WeAreChappaqua #SEL @Joe_Mazza

Thank you @MisterMinor for providing our #ChappEquity Fellows with a Call To Action during our Year 2 Kick Off Meeting! We are committing to disrupting racism because we know love alone won’t make the necessary changes - only we can! #WeAreChappaqua @CTinuke @jennkthompson

#ChappEquity Fellows discussing our group norms - what are we questioning, wondering or thinking about how to uphold our norms? Groups can thrive with thoughtful norms! #WeAreChappaqua @chappaqua_csd @CTinuke @pimtheeducator @PriyaPatelMa @profe_irizarry @jennkthompson

Starting the year strong with a mood meter check-in at Roaring Brook! #WeAreChappaqua #RBPride #SEL ⁦@CTinuke⁩

CCSD Staff Developer @CTinuke leads mindfulness meditation and facilitates an engaging and powerful PD session focused on Equity Leadership. Thank you for your dedication and humanity. #WeAreChappaqua #ChappEquity #ChapPDTeam @chackerman1

Instead of protecting the feelings of the privileged, try respecting the humanity of the marginalized.

Today is the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition. It's important to center the humanity and voices of enslaved Africans in honoring that remembrance. This resource can help. slavevoyages.org

So grateful for the newest CCSD staff developer @CTinuke for sharing her years of knowledge and experience with the Grafflin, 7B, and Bell department chairs and grade level leaders! #WeAreChappaqua #ChappEquity #ChappPDTeam

@pimtheeducator helped us understand DEI from the perspective of our own experiences and how they impact the way we live and lead. Thank you for being part of our @dcmoboces superintendents retreat!
