I think we need to make sure we all share the same understanding/definition of social justice and its implication for the work we do at WIDA. How does SJ differ from/is similar to DEI initiatives? Is one a subset of the other? I feel that Assessment folks tend to view the good in their/our work through an equity lens. This lens is important, of course, but it fails to capture so much more we could do/should be doing as an org.

Through the Assessment TF, I have worked with members of the Content Team to think more about how we recruit educators for assessment test development and research events - and to think about who we invite to these events.

As noted elsewhere on the padlet I think it'd be important to be explicit about intersectionality and systems of oppression. I can see these current commitments being interpreted as more diversity, equity, and inclusion. Something that came to mind is the Learning for Justice standards. They are for youth but they have Identity, Diversity, Justice, and Action as their broad categories. Their Justice category addresses some of these things. Just a resource. I know these commitments aren't meant to be standards in any way.

In EY we have been purposeful to commit to one another as we work on a new project to hold each other accountable for certain things. For example, not using harmful labels or defintions, not using terms/concepts that come from the "ivory tower" so to speak, to include multiiple voices, etc. These committments happen at the beginning of the project and are published and voaclized between the PL team.

I am wondering if there is a need to be clear about what does it look like when we strive for social justice, not just equity, what are the similarities/differences?

# data[].attributes.body
I respect the work of conducting lit reviews and developing "research based" resources. However, I do think we should also include as part of our "trusted" materials and resources, experiential knowledge. In the EY team, we have tried to do this. EC teachers, caregivers, children/students, families, community members also have a lot to offer to our work and bring funds of knowledge that we highight in our Can Do Philosophy and I feel it is important teams consider these voices.

Moving beyond "equitable educational opportunities" to thoughtful and meaningful support of the students we serve. Stating HOW we can "challenge linguistic discrimination, cultural biases, and racism in education." This is so important in the current educational climate

Engage in self-examination. Thinking about how I show up in spaces as a white woman and other identities and how I can listen and not speak over. And also speak up and contribute.

I noticed this time that choosing an accountability partner could be something we do individually as well as in our teams. I put in an EY ex for that under the teams ideas.

There are so many inspiring commitments here. I would add thinking through intersectional lenses as a fifth commitment.  (and as some proposed, there is absolutely literature to support this.)
