listening, taking time to get to know them, their
needs and where they are coming from. Use the
skills they already have and start cultivating and
nurture from there. Giving them the opportunity and
tools to actively participate and be part of their

I remember when I first started to do a diversity audit in my English class and students noticed the trend and then we made changes to center their experience.

Helping my learners find commonalities that bond them together will make celebrating their differences an organic and beautiful process that unfolds like a blooming rose. We will be centered on our common goals; we will empower with multiple opportunities to express our individual points-of-view; we will lift each other up with support and encouraging words and actions. ]]> 2022-07-20 17:33:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jyoung428/cultivatingandsharinggenius/wish/2247045955 Deconstruct our Journey https://padlet.com/jyoung428/cultivatingandsharinggenius/wish/2247045978 Empower - need tools (i.e. tech.)
Uplift - encouragement, self-confidence, affirmation of feelings and ideas
Cultivate - need consistency; message to truly be internalized; not on the surface 
Celebrate - highlight; provide opportunities to express their making, allowing for accomplishments 
Learning Communities - our community that needs healing & connecting to one another; embrace the struggle & provide opportunities to connect through their journey; safe space for all; inclusiveness
