https://padlet.com/cherice_barr/kcy7mffjzemjvaf8 From all your friends at Teach For America en-us 2021-01-13 13:48:25 UTC 2021-01-25 15:21:41 UTC hello@padlet.com cherice_barr https://padlet.com/cherice_barr/kcy7mffjzemjvaf8/wish/1082953354 Deepika and Leah - Thank you for the beautiful training. It was enriching and thoughtful. I am grateful for the ways you incorporated your learnings and grounded everything in social justice. It was powerful and opened my eyes to not only mediation but how to handle much of my work and thinking about the 'master narrative'. You two are wonderful, I truly hope our paths can cross again. - Cherice Barr]]> 2021-01-13 13:48:40 UTC https://padlet.com/cherice_barr/kcy7mffjzemjvaf8/wish/1082953354 julia_hieser1 https://padlet.com/cherice_barr/kcy7mffjzemjvaf8/wish/1107156759 Leah & Deepika, thank you for your time, energy and investment in each one of us during the Mediation training. I sincerely appreciated the time to you took to hear our questions and respond, and your encouraging support as we worked through role plays together. I am still reflecting on what we learned and how I want to incorporate it into my work, and remain grateful for the opportunity to have learned from you. - Julia Hieser]]> 2021-01-20 18:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cherice_barr/kcy7mffjzemjvaf8/wish/1107156759 sarah_koegler1 https://padlet.com/cherice_barr/kcy7mffjzemjvaf8/wish/1107285536 This training was amazing for me, not only for the actual "mediation stuff" :), but for ALL of the work that I do to help make TFA a better place to work for all of our staff members. Thank you for the important lessons you shared around listening to, holding, and preserving every person's story. Appreciate you both! Thank you for spreading this important work!

I found the training to be incredibly helpful and appreciate how you planned for and were responsive to many different ways for us to learn and practice. I am eager to put what I learned into practice and I have no doubt the approach you all shared with us will be impactful to many of our staff members at TFA.

I truly appreciated the structure of the development and the delivery of the concepts. This really pushed me as as I lead PD in my own work. The way you both invited people into conversation in a power that deconstructs the master narrative was incredibly skillful. Ya'll are the true Queens of mediation. Thank you!
