This captures perfectly why windows and mirrors are so important in our curriculum. #educhat #teachertwitter @Tolerance_org @edutopia

When patients share a story they’ve told me before, I don’t stop them and say that I’ve already heard that one. Instead I assume that I didn’t hear what they needed me to the last time, and try to listen more deeply and with new ears. Try this with parents / friends / kids ✨

This sums up very well why, and how, we should be doing the work of anti racism in predominantly white schools. #antiracism #teaching
Learning for Justice@learnforjustice30 Jul 2020
"Educators cannot pretend that anti-racist work doesn’t exist simply because their student body isn’t affected." Here are goals predominantly white schools can work toward in anti-racist work. @biblio_phile tolerance.org/magazine/all-s…

All Students Need Anti-racism Education

Schools across the nation are committing to the all-important work of anti-racism. Schools with predominately white or privileged students should be no exception.

Great article about discussing privilege with students: "Recognizing your privilege does not mean taking the blame for the sins of the past; it means using what you have to help make things better for someone else." #Antiracism #education
Learning for Justice@learnforjustice7 Jul 2020
The word "privilege" produces knee-jerk reactions. But educators can and should talk to students about it—and they can do so in a way that centers agency and activism rather than guilt. tolerance.org/magazine/desti…

Destigmatizing Privilege

Privilege can be a sticky subject, but this teacher introduces it to her fourth-graders as a tool they can use to elevate others.

A3: Ensuring that curriculum provides windows and mirrors (the opportunity to see others and the opportunity to see oneself) is important. Teachers can audit the works they read in class to ensure that Black voices are there and being heard. #CAREChatEDU

Adults should be asking how they can help provide these needs to the adolescents in their care - especially now. #SEL #RemoteLearning #COVID19 #edchat

The Five Needs of All Adolescents via @originsonline: 1. Relationship: I want to connect w/ others 2. Autonomy: I want to be independent 3. Competence: I want to experience success 4. Fun: I want to have a good time 5. Safety: I want to feel safe physically, socially/emotionally

Hey Twitter educators….I know many of us are passionate about #edtech but the stark reality is that many families don’t have tech or WiFi at home. Thus virtual learning is not realistic. Let’s be sure to all share just as many non or low tech strategies #remotelearning #edchat

Our district Curriculum Director made a great point - practice "physical distancing" not "social distancing". We need each other - especially now and there are ways to stay connected. #SEL #edchat

What a week! @BowHighSchool switched to remote learning in one day and students are, in fact, learning. What a great lesson in resilience and flexibility - our teachers are modeling great habits of mind.

As many schools head to time away from the classroom and online learning, it's important to remember that for many children school lunch (and breakfast) may be the only meals they can count on; we need to care for these students. #Covid_19 #edchat

Very helpful list - thanks @thomasdaccord
Tom Daccord@thomasdaccord13 Mar 2020
As COVID-19 spreads in the U.S., schools and districts are looking for ways to administer remote learning. To that end, I compiled a brief list of resources available at @EdTechTeacher21: edtechteacher.org/corona-vir… #Coronavirused
This is right on the mark - kindness and empathy make us human and can (and should) be taught. #SEL #edchat

Having #empathy, being able to consider another's perspective, and managing one's own emotions and actions, all of which are connected to kindness, are linked to #AcademicSuccess. @LindaFlanagan2 #education ow.ly/ewvD50yG79j

How Making Kindness a Priority Benefits Students | KQED

Achievement is considered a higher priority than caring for others, according to kids surveyed. But having a school and family culture that values kindness can reap bigger rewards.

Great ideas for teaching poetry (my favorite unit when I taught English) #engchat #poetry

Poetry can help students express their feelings and foster trust and empathy in the classroom. Here are some activities and tips for teaching poetry from @middleweb . #edchat ow.ly/RRWk50yH858

#SEL is necessary to help prepare our students

Interesting: "If you were to set up a competition between schools that raise test scores and schools that foster 'soft skills,' the soft skills schools would win." #sel #deeperlearning
