does this sound familiar?

  • You’re not entirely sure how to communicate with your child’s teacher or school in the best manner about microaggressions in the classroom.
  • You’re always supplementing your child’s learning resources with diverse and inclusive materials.
  • Your child’s classroom or school lacks representation of all students, including black students and students who are differently able and from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds and family groups.
YEAH, I’VE BEEN THERE TOO!

OR MAYBE…

you’re a teacher or principal reading this and…

01. there’s an administrative problem

When I was dealing with microagressions in my daughter’s classroom I thought that I would be able to just email the teacher and get a meeting scheduled. What really happened is that I had to schedule a number of meetings with the school once I realized that best practices were not being followed on the admin side.

02. there is a professional development failure

As an educator or school governing body, self-reflection should be a constant practice. I have noticed that many education professionals are not willing to identify who they are, and where they are, with attention to the privileges and blind spots they have. and this inadvertently shows up in the classroom.

03. mistakes are not acceptable

Teaching is filled with constant changes and challenges. The most socially conscious teacher can still falter. In order to address mistakes and missteps, we must first acknowledge that they will happen and have the willingness to initiate courageous conversations – even when we are in the wrong.

IMAGINE HOW YOUR CLASSROOM COULD EVOLVE IF…

EVERYONE FEELS SEEN?

  • An equitable classroom has a positive effect on learning.
  • An equitable classroom teaches kindness and empathy.
  • An equitable classroom gives ALL students the tools they need to thrive.
  • An equitable classroom develops the equitable workplaces of tomorrow.

let me introduce…

THE TEACHER’S LOUNGE

As Zavier and Zara’s mom, it is important for me to speak and advocate for him and other students like them. What started as me creating resources for their school, and sharing them here on my blog because I refuse to be shushed away has transitioned into a desire to use my experience as a veteran educator and one really pissed mom to guide parents, teachers, and educators on how to handle cultural sensitivity on any school campus.

I’ve created the teacher’s lounge to:
  • Initiate courageous conversations between the key roleplayers at your school.
  • To develop greater cultural awarenesses and best practices.
  • To promote professional training and development in areas such as DEI, Impact vs Intent, and Responsive Counseling.
  • To help educators develop instruction and classrooms that include the experiences and interests of all children.
