This!
It’s back to school week, which is a great time to remind teachers that Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT), although convenient, is not audited through an equity lens, and many non-Indigenous created materials I’ve found are actually harmful. 1/ 🧵 🪡

Hot off the presses. @KatySwalwell & I detail 6 principles that guide deep, high-impact equity leadership rather than high-optics, low-impact equity leadership. Available via @ASCD or wherever you buy books. Want to grapple with the hard equity questions? This will help!

Great question/ reflection.
If you are a school or district leader, ask yourself, "Who's more likely to burn out out in my building, an educator who advocates for racial justice or one who refuses to embrace racial justice? That's a crucial measure of the realness of your equity leadership.

Equitable and inclusive assessment doesn’t lower the bar, it ELEVATES it. It’s just a shift in perspective: Offer choice ➡️ expect high-quality work Triangulate assessment ➡️ increase data validity Give re-tests ➡️ demand proficiency Equity and excellence go hand in hand. – at Toronto, Ontario
