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.

We need to change the education system and it will take all of us. I think it is super important for teachers to be aware of where they are coming from on the ACE so they can be more aware of students.

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.

Hopefully that leads to the implementation of new practices that reduce the rate of disciplinary action taken against of girls of color. ]]> 2020-04-09 20:02:25 UTC https://padlet.com/dkbulloc/a347og9wvvlw/wish/501219983 https://padlet.com/dkbulloc/a347og9wvvlw/wish/501220637 2020-04-09 20:03:00 UTC https://padlet.com/dkbulloc/a347og9wvvlw/wish/501220637 https://padlet.com/dkbulloc/a347og9wvvlw/wish/501225190 I'd like to dig deeper with ACE with the Equity & Access team to get data.

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.]]> 2020-04-10 23:53:31 UTC https://padlet.com/dkbulloc/a347og9wvvlw/wish/502578806
