My next action is to share information with our equity team. As I build relationships with students, I need to be aware of how I am treating female students. In full disclosure: I am guilty of saying girls are too sexual for their age or they look too old for their age. As a black female educator, I need be more intentional and model appropriate behaviors for girls. I need to reflect on my own action because if I'm not helping the problem, then I am part of the problem.

# data[].attributes.body
Love on our girls.  Stand up for them.  Be intentional and purposeful about what I say and do regarding them.  Fight for them.  Educate other adults on how we should treat our girls.  Model correct interactions and behaviors.

I really like the SPEAK UP strategy. Asking a student a question could be a great starting point to have a conversation. In addition to that, leveling up the relation teacher-student may lead to deepen the relationship that empowers students to be more growth minded, less defiant and more academically successful!

My MTSS team is meeting virtually to develop binders for each grade level. One thing I'd like to do is to review our discipline referrals from the past year by grade level and to develop some professional development, guidance lessons, and intervention strategies for grade levels based on the things that resulted in an office discipline referral. I would love to see a reduction in the number of referrals that are made in the upcoming year and I think being proactive about some of the issues presented in this book and documentary will help.

I think it is integral to show black girls that they matter and to provide an outlet for themselves to safely express themselves.
We have been changing the reality of these students when they come to school with our expectations of them. I am not sure I have recognized that looking like them how different our lives and realities are.
I am wondering how can we disrupt the system and how can we positively impact them to influence them when they become mothers of black girls.

I will have students share their experiences in writing and how these experiences influence their ability to learn my content Mathematics.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
To close the achievement gap, diverse classrooms need a proven framework for optimizing student engagement. Culturally responsive instruction has shown promise, but many teachers have struggled with its implementation―until now.

In this book, Zaretta Hammond draws on cutting edge neuroscience research to offer an innovative approach for designing and implementing brain compatible culturally responsive instruction.

The book includes:

Information on how one's culture programs the brain to process data and affects learning relationships

Ten "key moves" to build students' learner operating systems and prepare them to become independent learners

Prompts for action and valuable self reflection

My favorite thing to say and has alway been is, “Love them as if they were your own!” If you love them in such a way then teaching them would come as easy as breathing! We as educators have to show our BLACK GIRLS that they are resilient, worthy and LOVED! If they know this then they know that, “they can shoot for the moon...but why stop there when there’s a Galaxy left to be explored!”
My next stop.....we’ll just wait....you’ll see!
Thank you all for this opportunity!

As a teacher, I think it would be beneficial if we were privy to students ACE scores. I don't know when or if these assessments are given across the district but I think it would a great resource for teacher.

Also all schools should have a plan for when students (not just black girls) reenter the school from suspensions. And professional development on how to address emotional trauma with students.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An ACE score is a tally of different types of abuse, neglect, and other hallmarks of a rough childhood. According to the Adverse Childhood Experiences study, the rougher your childhood, the higher your score is likely to be and the higher your risk for later health problems. You can take the test below:

So, you've got your score. Now what?

First, remember that the ACE score isn't a crystal ball; it's just meant as guidance. It tells you about one type of risk factor among many. It doesn't directly take into account your diet or genes, or whether you smoke or drink excessively - to name just a few of the other major influences on health.

To learn more, check the CDC's ACE Study website. You'll find, among other things, a list of studies that explore the ways adverse childhood experiences have been linked to a variety of adult conditions, ranging from increased headaches to depression to heart disease.

Remember this, too: ACE scores don't tally the positive experiences in early life that can help build resilience and protect a child from the effects of trauma. Having a grandparent who loves you, a teacher who understands and believes in you, or a trusted friend you can confide in may mitigate the long-term effects of early trauma, psychologists say.

"There are people with high ACE scores who do remarkably well," says Jack Shonkoff, a pediatrician and director of the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University.

Resilience, he says, builds throughout life, and close relationships are key. Recent research also suggests that for adults, "trauma informed" therapy - which can center on art, yoga or mindfulness training - can help.

How best to find and help kids who are experiencing abuse and neglect right now?

Child psychologist Hilit Kletter, of Stanford University's School of Medicine, says that to spot these children, she looks for visible signs of stress to understand what might have happened to them and how best to intervene. Some kids have nightmares or recurring thoughts of a stressful event, she says, or may re-enact the trauma through play. Or the child may seem distracted or withdrawn.

"This will come out at school," Kletter says. "Teachers will tell parents [their child] seems to be in a daze in the classroom, not paying attention."

Kletter says reactions to trauma are sometimes misdiagnosed as symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, because kids dealing with adverse experiences may be impulsive - acting out with anger or other strong emotions.

"It's something that's very common in trauma: difficulty in regulating emotions and behavior," she explains. "That's why a lot of these kids get in trouble with the classroom."

Shonkoff's research center at Harvard tests interventions that can build resilience in kids who are growing up with adverse experiences - not just problems in the family, such as those the ACE study investigated, but also trauma stemming from poverty, for example, or from the chronic stress of racial or gender discrimination.

To bolster parents, the Harvard team is testing interventions right now that use video coaching to show moms and dads how to engage their babbling infants, using sounds and facial expressions in a style Shonkoff calls serve and return.

Shonkoff says these early interactions - a kind of conversation - have been shown to help children with later learning and literacy. Even more important, they boost kids' resilience, by helping them build secure attachments with caring adults. Research suggests that just one caring, safe relationship early in life gives any child a much better shot at growing up healthy.
