I liked padlet to even expedite answering and giving an option to people that may not be as outgoing. I also appreciated all the input and troubleshooting done by all participants. https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627985023 2020-06-15 21:10:14 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627985023 https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627986587 What didn't work for me was when the comments became political. It really turned me off. My political views are my own and should not be tied to my job. I am a teacher because I want to help students.

]]> 2020-06-15 21:11:57 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627986587 When people put down other groups when explaining how they defend/support race issues, etc. https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627988107 We need to learn how to truly speak around these topics with humanity for all as we all come from different viewpoints. If our goal as educators is to educate for a common purpose ... we need to do it well when it comes to working with each other and keep the common goal(s) in mind.

]]> 2020-06-15 21:13:41 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627988107 People were open to the conversation, many people felt comfortable sharing their perspective. https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627988245 2020-06-15 21:13:51 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627988245 Honesty is what worked, and what will continue to work...even if it's uncomfortable. https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627988574 2020-06-15 21:14:15 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627988574 I'd like more participation from all staff. This is a conversation that although we individually may not want to have, our students certainly want to be informed about. https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627988892 2020-06-15 21:14:36 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627988892 Openness and honesty. https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627989426 2020-06-15 21:15:13 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627989426 Nearly 90% of meaning in human communication is expressed through tone, facial expression and body language and a lot of that gets lost in this format (I realize we have no choice right now). https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627989656 2020-06-15 21:15:31 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627989656 conversation became about political belief system we need to be able to address this without making anyone feel as though they are being ambushed for having a different view point https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627990511 2020-06-15 21:16:29 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627990511 It's difficult to not have some political points of view when our country seems more divided than we are as a school with our diverse population. That division is part of the problem we face. We need to accept that we all see things with our own eyes and they somethings see things differently. https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627990521 2020-06-15 21:16:30 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627990521 Willingness to have the conversation. https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627991042 2020-06-15 21:17:08 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627991042 I'm all for a book study/reading circles. Transparency and honesty would be nice. I'd much rather have an adult say something consider discriminatory or demeaning said in my presence and we talk about why it is ok, that to be said to a scholar, without knowing the inadequacy of a comment https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627991249 2020-06-15 21:17:23 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627991249 I believe we need to agree on formal professional training for our staff around this topic for the foreseeable future. https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627991400 2020-06-15 21:17:34 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627991400 Divisions https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627992429 We have our own divisions. It's normal. We need to learn to learn to accept our differences as we work to accept those of our students. 

]]> 2020-06-15 21:18:54 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627992429 Have goals and guiding questions for our work together: https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627993445 1.What is it that educators should know and be able to do to narrow the racial achievement gap?
2.How will educators know when they are experiencing success in their efforts to narrow the racial achievement gap?
3.What do educators do as they discover what they don’t yet know and are not yet able to do to eliminate the racial achievement gap?
(from Glenn Singleton)
1.Create an environment where all students, families, staff, and community members know they are safe, respected, and valued for their diverse life experiences, language, culture, values and beliefs
2.Decrease the disproportionality in school discipline, specifically out of school suspensions and expulsions
3.Provide every KM student with equitable access to high-quality, bias-free culturally responsive curriculum, support, facilities, and other educational resources

Even if someone doesn't need help in the race department ... they might need help in other areas that could be harmful to students as well. And these discussions/book studies/professional development could help focus staff on working through gender issues, etc. https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627994189 2020-06-15 21:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627994189 time to discuss thoughts/reflection https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627996229 2020-06-15 21:23:00 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627996229 hearing what others are feeling, listening, openness https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627996298 2020-06-15 21:23:04 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627996298 It's hard to communicate in the virtual world. https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627996461 2020-06-15 21:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627996461 participation from all - could be the technology issues, I think having the small groups would have allowed for more participation https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627996829 2020-06-15 21:23:43 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627996829 not really knowing if everyone was really listening or hearing https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627996891 2020-06-15 21:23:48 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627996891 We made personal connections to the work. https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627997242 2020-06-15 21:24:15 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627997242 prioritized and scheduled PD for all staff https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627997381 2020-06-15 21:24:25 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627997381 given reflection time https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627997457 2020-06-15 21:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627997457 1. implicit bias training/workshops/circle https://padlet.com/marissa_winmill/6zl6c0jrgxh57wyj/wish/627998245 2.
