The success of this school’s equity event spurred an even more impactful event—and lasting learning and growth. 🪴 @bethpando and Fay Kim share how everyone made it happen: edut.to/4dqDsBx
Educator Friends: 📚 It is not enough to actively engage in equity work, if we don't continually reflect on our own blindspots and privilege. 👀 Read about how I was reminded of this lesson, and how @Tre_John_son helped me understand. bethallyson.com/post/they-ca…

I’m continuously angered by trade books that conceptualize happiness as an “inside job.”
Kids, especially, need supportive environments.
I’m sickened by the recent news of the bullied middle school boy who was beaten to death.
It’s hard to be happy when the people and systems around us are mean and cruel.
It’s time for a universal education in #EmotionalIntelligence.
