I will have open and honest conversations with my students about racism and bigotry in general throughout the day, not just tied to a specific lesson. And I will plan lessons that explicitly address racism and other forms of oppression.

# data[].attributes.body
I am committing to having the hard conversations to grow. These current events are things that will be on our students minds. I want to create social learning situations to empower students emotionally AND grow their voices and opinions

I can commit to creating classroom norms that center around restorative practices vs. punitive ones. I valued speaking with other teachers this week about some ways to begin replacing current systems of power with restorative practices, which need to start at a baseline of a loving and team-based community to restore BACK TO when harm is done in the classroom. Also thinking already of different texts to bring in that are more culturally relevant and representative of diverse urban populations

I can commit to addressing current events by fostering a safe space and remaining transparent with students when it comes to the racialized nation we live in! Transparency, and keeping the conversation student lead, and cultivating a classroom community that is centered around trust, relationship building and SEL! Also - remaining aware of how I SHOW UP as a WHITE TEACHER and the role whiteness plays within these issues of race and equity - ACTION > TALK!
