Yesterday, a 1st grader was brought to my office for being defiant. After asking her about her life (family, pets, hobbies, etc), I challenged her to do the right thing with urgency. Today, her teacher said, “I don’t know WHAT you did, but it worked!”
The power of conversation.

I'm enjoying @wangshuf's science zine: freerads.org/science-scope-f… Very engaging! Want to challenge our well-worn notions of science? Check out "strong objectivity" to think about why community voices SHOULD influence what we study and how we study it. #STEMequity

Week 28, reading #TeachingForBlackLives (pp219-227 “Lead Poisoning: Bringing Social Justice to Chemistry”): @Kjzaccor’s chemistry students investigated geography & impacts of lead exposure where they live. Student actions: PSAs & five demands to officials. buff.ly/3zeMVaw

Week 27, reading #TeachingForBlackLives (pp213-18 “Shock-Doctrine Schooling in Haiti”): We knew that disaster protection & relief are racially inequitable. The next-level disaster racism is massive profiteering from “rebuilding school systems.” buff.ly/3rNwsqR

By the Numbers: This is what gentrification looks like. Lovely new buildings, jobs, economic “growth”…seems like a good thing, right? Look again at the changing diversity, and ask yourself: What is gained & who benefits? What is lost & who is harmed? #FalseChoices

Antonio Gutierrez from Autonomous Tenants Union--landlords send out notices because they want to renovate and raise rents. 30 days notice. No help for tenants. It's not right! #JustCauseChicago

Week 26, reading #TeachingForBlackLives (pp204-212 “Bearing Witness Through Poetry”): I love lessons like this that strategically combine affect/emotion with facts/analysis. In this lesson, students write poetry after comparing three different disasters. buff.ly/3rNwsqR
