So often when I've caused harm in the past, I've attempted to "make things right" in MY way instead of listening first and then acting based on the feedback I've received. Thank you๐ @DenaSimmons @LiberatED_SEL (Part 3)

My RP training clarified for me that the needs of those harmed must be prioritized & the actions taken to begin healing need to stem from the question- What do YOU think needs to happen to make things right? (Part 2)

"You can't be emotionally intelligent without being culturally responsive." โค๏ธ Dr. Dena Simmons bravely shares her experience to spark action & take a stand against racism. (Part 1)
School districts are shifting how they approach #SELโexpanding their efforts beyond a specific program to infusing SEL into everything they do. Read about efforts in @austinISD, @WCSDTweet, @metroschools: bit.ly/3iM4Mzc

Today we received a donation of office supplies from Kathryn, a Westport resident and middle school parent. We often hear from residents in neighboring communities who would like to donate to #ReadSchool. We are always thankful as donations are always needed ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ #gratitude

In the first analysis of its kind, the team at @USATODAY examined pay for new teachers, plus mid-career and late-career, and compared it with housing costs. The result: A definitive answer on whether teachers can afford to live on their take-home pay.

So proud of #ReadSchool teacher Ryan Brown for being featured in โฆ@USATODAYโฉ to address a critical issue facing teachers everywhere. Mr. Brown teaches 7th grade math but he does SO much more. He is a valuable member of the Read School Family. usatoday.com/in-depth/news/eโฆ
