@catbiddle Maybe some good books?

@catbiddle Oh dear. If you think a deserted beach and rocks, seaglass,and tiny green crabs could do the trick, I would do my best to help. I could even leave cupcakes with extra frosting behind a special rock.

the John T. Gorman Foundation has released it latest brief – “The Two-Generation Approach: Recommendations for Bridging Practice and Policy in Maine” – which offers #2gen strategies to strengthen the way state policies and systems serve Maine families. bit.ly/3g6oAL0

The #COVID19 crisis is hard enough for our students to navigate. No one should have to worry about grades. #TBATs #coronavirus #StayHomeSaveLives @VirginiaBATs @DelawareBATs @MarylandBAT @BATs_DC @ctbadassteacher @RhodeIslandBats @massbats @MaineBATs @NHampshireBATs @VermontBATs

Play is learning❤️

Keeping kids connected with nightly stories from their teachers and school staff members. Chickens and laughter abound in this one. facebook.com/112600038/post…

If I don't see race I don't see racism. If I don't see racism, I can't be antiracist. If I'm not antiracist, I'm participating in racism. Any way I slice it, that's where "color-blindness" lands me: racism.

Art is not a reward. Music is not a reward. Playing outside is not a reward. Reading books of choice is not a reward. Field trips are not a reward. Food is not a reward. Being able to move in a classroom is not a reward. Children are human beings & should be treated as such.

1st SEL question in schools: "How are policies, practices, & institutional culture harming people's well-being?" 1st trauma-sensitive question: "What traumas are perpetuated here? Who, disproportionately, is affected?" And for adults, too, not just youth.

instead of “i don’t see color,” try “my friends and I have many differences, including race and/or ethnicity. i recognize my privilege and know their experiences in this society are different than mine due to systems/ structures meant to oppress them. we still cool though.” 1/2

We gathered some of the words all kids love to hear from their teachers. What would you add to this list?
