Remember that? Okay well I am about to be the […]

I don’t trust it. At least not at face value. It has to prove itself more if I am going to trust […]

It is also […]

I appreciate your referencing the masters’ tools here. I definitely agree with that comparison. And I had similar feelings about wondering if I was getting caught up in semantics in my […]

But I have never been a big fan of the theory of community cultural wealth. I know all the CRT education people love it, but there […]

I also loved the reciprocity so clearly present in this article. I think it is something we should all strive for in our research (even when it’s quantitative). If I read correctly, it seems that Rosa’s […]

This is what I am thinking about after reading about Principal Johnson. It is clear that he […]

I also sent an email about this, so you can ignore this if you saw that. If everyone could fill out this form before class, that would be great! It asks about which readings you completed and […]

I think that a major reason why we always put the burden on schools to fix our social ills is because our schools have been so deeply de-politicized. All the other […]

This holds true whether the educator is purposefully trying to be […]

I thought that was so weird!! For me, radical/critical caring is about fighting to dismantle the systems that cause […]

It seems like the women we read about this week take holistic to another level. It’s not just […]

It absolutely sucks to read stuff from 25 years ago and feel like it’s something that needs to be made into a twitter thread for the world to see.

Regarding counternarrative: I also feel a […]

It’s not super related, so you can ignore it if you want. So when I was a kid, my family’s […]
