People who talk about “student behaviors” as if they’ve magically declined without addressing any of the structural inequities in/around education get a side-eye from me.

Getting to hear Ada Limon read “How to Triumph Like a Girl”, a poem that’s been hanging in my daughter’s room her whole life, renewed something in me. A restorative conference! Ears up! #ncte24

Learning how to put this action into practice this year… hopefully!
One thing that makes teaching more sustainable, I think? Becoming more comfortable saying no to those "extra asks" that are inevitable in our current education system.
