Getting to authentically know each other is imperative for relating to each other and learning together.  If we can't relate to each other, we won't be able to learn together.  We might gravitate to those who we perceive similarities, but we can find those connections with anyone, if we go for the real stuff that really matters.

When one is vulnerable, it breeds vulnerability in others, leading to greater empathy.

Speaking at length with an empathetic listener allowed me to further process what is "actually" happening in my classroom. Thank you for this opportunity.

It was wonderful getting to know people, the different challenges they face, and what motivates them to overcome them. I love listening to people's stories about how their perspective and world-views expanded. Great way to start this experience!

I enjoyed the opportunity to get to know the people I worked with and pick up common threads that inform our thinking. Those of us working in privileged circumstances often feel discomfort at that privilege and a need to 'do more', but we are taking action in every interaction we have. I think at my own site, it would be interesting to have these dialogical conversations to uncover values and discover what makes people tick

It builds trust quickly. I had great appreciation for the space that the interviewer created for me by not responding and by asking follow-up questions. We are rarely afforded such intentional and protected spaces to think and speak.

This was a meta experience for me. Thinking about how I interact with and function both with my students and colleagues, practicing listening skills and making space to learn why others might think or behave the way they do. It is chicken soup for the soul.

I was reminded that data serves an important 'check & balance' system for us when working w/kids. Data can push us to challenge our assumptions and our colleagues' assumptions - and force out of our own subjective mindsets.

Great exercise to encourage patience and understanding. By requiring interviewer to only listen, stories can be heard...I was not trying to think of how I would react in a situation. I had time to understand what my interviewee was actually saying. I could take the time to process all they were saying.
