I've used this discussion framework (created by Shela Linto of The Root Social Justice Center) w/ students for a few years.
It empowers students to speak up when they make a mistake, see harm, or need clarification.

Sometimes I worry that sharing the ‘wins’ in my class comes across as bragging but really I LOVE when other Ts share the things that go well in their class or the amazing things they’ve tried! I learn so much from celebrating the success of other teachers. Let’s all keep sharing!

I just want one full day per week for lesson planning and collaborating. And 90 minutes per day to give students feedback and communicate with students and families.
Then I’d be where I want to be as a teacher.
Please and thank you.

Guess I'm a radical activist for teaching the truth about how Columbus and his crew murdered, raped, kidnapped, and enslaved indigenous people.
Speaking the truth does not undermine someone's legacy unless that legacy is built on lies & omission as in the case with Columbus.
