I’m all about having an open mind and feel about almost all topics I do. That being said, I feel in today’s day and age everyone is getting offended about everything. No one wants to stop and listen and understand that not everything is a direct insult.

Vulnerability- working with very young children I am at a lot of times conflicted and unsure of how to and how much to address with them.        Strength- meeting uncomfortable conversations with compassion, honesty, and an understanding that its okay for me not to have all the right answers or say all the right things every time as long as I'm reflective and willing to keep learning.

Our lives, our cultures, are composed of many overlapping stories. Novelist Chimamanda Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice -- and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding.

I feel vulnerable in the classroom being able to Reach each student and their families of diversity.  I feel my experiences were different in life so how could I relate to them.  Allowing a safe environment and open conversation can allow us all to open up and see each other’s perspectives.  I will allow myself to be eyes and ears!

Being completely authentic, opended, and honest is key. Not only you have to  encourage your students to do so, you have to act upon it and make sure youre using the politically correct terms and pronouns (LGBTQ community).

Making non verbal hand signals to communicate if you agree , disagree , or feel indifferent .  Also have sturents practice how having a discussion looks, sounds and feels like. For myself I would have to have facts and evidence prepared in case they is an unpopular opinion.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Where do our minds live? A simple, scientific response would be to say our minds live in our brains. But Harvard psychologist Mahzarin Banaji says we should not think of our minds as being solitary.

"The individual mind sits in society. And the connection between mind and society is an extremely important one that should not be forgotten."

Banaji is one of the creators of the Implicit Association Test, a widely-used tool for measuring a person's implicit biases. She says it's important to acknowledge that problems rooted in prejudice cannot be solved by finger pointing.

"One of the difficulties we've had in the past is that we have looked at individual people and blamed individual people. We've said if we can remove these 10 bad police officers from this force, we'll be fine. And we know as social scientists - and I believe firmly - that that is no way to change anything."

This week on the Hidden Brain radio show, we examine research about the mind of the village. We'll begin with a focus on police shootings of unarmed black men. Later in the show, we look at how biases affect judges in the U.S.
Additional Resources:
This episode includes references to research by Mahzarin Banaji, Eric Hehman, Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, Joshua Correll, and Maya Sen. You'll also hear from Philip Tetlock.

Strength: Willing to have these conversations, focusing on building relationships, and continuing to educate myself and learn from Black leaders.

Vulnerability: I'm a white woman, this is not my lived experience. I want to be pointing to Black leaders, but know I need to be having  these conversations and be actively anti racist.

Need: Culturally responsive/diverse curriculum that is representative of the student body. Discipline practices that are not racist. Anti Racism/Anti Bias training for staff.

It's definitely important to set rules and norms for  these conversations. Then  we would practice how they norms should look, sound, and feel like.  And , use non-verbals to communicate like hand signalss for  who agrees, disagrees, or indifferent.
I would prepare myself with facts and educational visuals. Also, use appropiate terms for certain topics especially when it comes to LGBTQ

To feel like some must  be on the defense and avenge bias or racism witnessed  in the learning environment...no matter how unintentional. It is taxing. Especially when the empathy goes to the offender and not the offended.
