In my CRT and Math session in August, I discussed with teachers the model of the levels of culture (with a tree as a framework) and had them think about the hidden norms and ways of being that impact their classroom.  What do we need to think about to help shift culture to be more equitable? It was a difficult question for some teachers to answer.

Conversations regarding Equity are included in each professional learning opportunity I get to attend. Also, the sessions I plan are focused on UDL and leveling the playing field in mathematics.

AFLP includes a series goal focused on equity.  During Session 2, we focused on PSEL Standard focused on Equity and CRT and included activities and readings with an equity lens.

I've been working specifically with TYWL to create a partnership with NeoWorld in creating possible virtual ways to promote learning.
in addition to this partnership I am also working on providing an internship with the NY/NJ port authority for possible career opportunities for the students.

I feel that I am WAY more confident about how I am integrating equity discussions into my work stream. I am more cognicient of the voices of PL participants and messages that I give when talking about teaching and learning in PLs. In addition because our office has clearly defined this as a pressing and valuable component of our work - I feel much more confident in brining in elements of equity without being questioned as to its relavence.

In all PLC's in which I'm facilitating and planning, we are introducing Hammond's framework, discussing the importance of community, setting high expectations for our students, etc.

By sharing best practices with school communities, my Tech Lab program bridges the gap between students who have access and those who do not. One of the goals of the program is to define ways we can bring technology to students who don't have access in their homes. We also are working to address the imbalance of knowledge of students coming into our schools.

Through working with our Affinity Team, I hope to share best practices on what is possible by using technology. Padlet is an example of a tool that can help different learning styles by providing multiple ways to view information.

Embedding tools and resources in my PLs and coaching cycles that help teachers to distribute resources in an equitable way to students. I am currently also thinking about how to leverage instructional technology to provide students and teachers with what they need. This may include modeling routines in math that supports student inclusitivity, promotes positive classroom culture and helps reduce student anxiety!
