We thought we were excited for Robyn to be announced as our 2023 Teacher of the Year, but the students at Vergennes Union Elementary School (@VergennesUES) were next level excited!
A great reminder of what we HAVE done and what our students HAVE learned.
"Stop." A Letter to Our Nation's Education Leaders and Our Nation's Teachers kylenebeers.com/blog/2021/02…
A4 - @IjeomaOluo wrote, "Words have power. Words are more than their dictionary definition. The history of words matter as long as the effects of that history are still felt."
A4 - I typically don't respond to social media posts that could be considered microaggressions but this week I have spoken up a few times, thanks to @IjeomaOluo and a quote from ch. 9. #ANWSDCommunityChat
Q5. Pt.2 - A quote from the text that really stuck with me. “The value of marginalized people is determined by how well they can scale often impossible obstacles that others will never know.” #ANWSDCommunityChat
A4. Acknowledging that none of us are one thing. Our identity is made up of many components. Depending on the components, we may have more or less privilege. #ANWSDCommunityChat
A2. Safety during a traffic stop (or even being pulled over in the first place), shopping without having to look over my shoulder, an education, a mortgage, access to healthcare. #ANWSDCommunityChat
Started listening to “So You Want to Talk About Race” this afternoon. I’ve only made it to chapter 2, but my mind is already spinning with thoughts, questions and wonders. Thought provoking on many levels. #ANWSDCommunityChat
Just finished watching this incredible film. It makes you wonder and ask yourself, "What if?" "What if we did school differently? What if we made radical changes to the current system? What if we tried something new?" High Tech High isn't just asking "What if?" they are doing it!
Very excited to announce that, beginning August 14th, 'Most Likely To Succeed' will be available for rent and purchase on @iTunes!

Are we preparing kids to do things that are easy to measure with a multiple-choice test or things that will help them thrive in the world waiting for them? @dintersmith @MLTSfilm theconversation.com/students…
