I've worked on active listening before, and need to work more on sharing with bravery.]]> 2021-11-04 16:27:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867915879 Our team is making space to talk about our individual and team identity as it reflects our equity work. We can do better at naming the need to value honesty over comfort, both within our team and in our work with school leaders. https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867916291 2021-11-04 16:27:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867916291 focusing on team norms in order to create brave spaces https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867918053 2021-11-04 16:28:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867918053 The role of building relationships/connections allow me to have difficult conversations, challenge the norm, educate, and push for a mindset shift. https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867918328 2021-11-04 16:28:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867918328 tera_jones https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867918351 When I am feeling any discomfort (either from giving or receiving feedback) I'd like to remember to lean into curiosity  and to remember my boundaries.]]> 2021-11-04 16:28:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867918351 Sentence stems tess_vigil https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867919077 Sounds so elementary, but I value sentence stems and having some pre-planned things to say that I practice. I need to keep working on this-- we've given and seen many examples in the Equity Experience as well as in other CRE trainings, needs to be a constant work out practice though.]]> 2021-11-04 16:28:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867919077 I am going to make space in team meetings for people to name the impact they are feeling ... sometimes in response to a perceived tension in the room and sometimes as part of our agenda/protocol. https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867919649 2021-11-04 16:28:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867919649 mgulle2 https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867919734 Having a rehearsed 1 sentence response of acknowledgment of what was said & the discomfort it is causing...then engaging more (perhaps using the SBII) ]]> 2021-11-04 16:28:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867919734 I am finding it easier and easier to share my experiences the more I tell them and allow myself to be vulnerable. The practice is healing for me! ebowers3 https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867919792 2021-11-04 16:28:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867919792 Don't Be Silent https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867920206 Silence is very harmful. Really important to consider when I will address something. Context matters to a degree and thinking about how and when to address a situation can keep someone in the conversation or shut them down. ]]> 2021-11-04 16:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867920206 My actions speak louder than words.

The growths come from being thirsty to listen- seeking out the feedback instead of passively letting it come to me. https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867924219 2021-11-04 16:30:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867924219 Relationships with Courage https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867924679 Creating time for both knowing each other's stories AND leaning into hard conversations.

It was something I have been thinking a lot about and it was helpful to process with such a great listener. I need to work on curiosity in my coaching, this need was shown in my story as well https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867924858 2021-11-04 16:30:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867924858 Thinking before Speaking-It allows you to reflect on what was said, how to address,any harm done, etc. prior to follow up. https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867925962 2021-11-04 16:31:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867925962 Lean in, be curious, reflect on my discomfort https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867926554 2021-11-04 16:31:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867926554 Role: https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867926595 I am comfortable being a coach - listening and supporting another.

Next time I can raise my hand and say, "That isn't sitting right with me. Is it okay if we pause and unpack that?" I haven't been afraid to bring up the uncomfortable truth when it comes to our students, so I shouldn't be afraid to confront adults in the same way. As the quote in chapter 4 states, "If I love you, I have to make you conscious of the things you don't see," and I hope that others will do the same for me.]]> 2021-11-04 16:59:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_villarreal/ertjh0uh0x1x/wish/1867995027
