What is circling for me is that such a large percentage of us resonated with the paternalist quality, "those with power think they are capable of making decisions for and in the interests of those without power." I am reflecting on how this characteristic shows up in my classroom with me making decisions for my students instead of including them in the decision making process.

Education system in the United States thrives off the paternalism and new teachers' desires to do "good". One way to combat that is to think about our students' communities that is full of resources that might not reflect the resources white supremacy culture uphold. They don't need teachers to be everything. They have agency! And teachers  should hold each other accountable in being sustainable, not burn out and support each other in doing that.

I always need to be investigating my own biases and seeking to own my responsibility over a situation rather than looking outward for others to take responsibility. Likewise, I need to ensure that I am asking my students to access their own agency in their learning career. This should help me to begin dismantling white supremacy culture in my classroom.

What is circling for me is that such a large percentage of us resonated with the paternalist quality, "those with power think they are capable of making decisions for and in the interests of those without power." I am reflecting on how this characteristic restricts belonging and in order to feel a sense of connection, every stakeholder's voice must be celebrated. This extends to how I amplify students' voices, invite co-workers into collaborative discussions, and advocate for teacher voice with my school's leadership team.
