MIDYEAR LISTENING SESSIONS – pls schedule!

As mentioned a week or so ago in Staff Crew, Harju and I would like to schedule 20-30 minute listening sessions with each staff member over the course of February. These listening sessions can take lots of different forms, and we have drafted these prompts that you can choose from to guide the conversation.

Still To Schedule:
Phoebe, Laurie, Delaney, Lisa, Jennifer, Kat, Addy

Still To Schedule:
Eric, Aaron, Deanne, Dante
Probably the EASIEST way to schedule these is to send Zach or I an Outlook calendar invite for a time that works well for YOU. Ideally, we’d get everyone in during the month of February! If you make a calendar event and INVITE Zach or I to it, you will be able to see our free/busy times on the right side of the calendar dialog box. If that doesn’t work for you, just send us an email with some times!

Bias Lessons: Survey and New Lesson Tools

Dear certified colleaguesAs we wrap up the first semester, now is a great time to revisit the topic of respect, inclusion, and expectations around bias incidents, slurs, and reporting procedures.  We addressed this topic systematically this fall via our Bias Incident Student Lessons, but we know complex topics like equity, bias, and inclusion deserve ongoing energy.

To that end, here are some one-pager lesson ideas for taking another step into conversation with students on this topic.  While these are not required K-12 across all schools like this past fall, we know many teachers reported having very productive and meaningful conversations with students as a result of the Bias Incident lessons, and many folks have asked for ideas to expand that conversation and to take the next step in pulling our Equity Stance into classroom conversation.  As we share those follow-up lessons with you, we also want to make sure we prepare differentiated supports for teachers who are at different places in their comfort and practice with these topics.  Please take a moment to share with us: What supports, scaffolds, and resources have been helpful to you in engaging in lessons on these topics?  What other supports would you like to have available?  This is a quick survey to help us help you better!
