I really appreciate and resonate with your final comment on how developing empathy for BIPOC experience is really only a first step to making meaningful and compassion choices to dismantle racism. I think what also helps me visualize my journey is from Anima…Read more

I love your closing quote in the slide deck about all things will end – and will it have changed you?

I think that your provocation of finding your “self” as a ‘remote’ or online teacher is equally as powerful. We have all had moments of identity crisis, haven’t we?

Connect with @acampbellrogers and @vhcivan who are looking at this or have looked at this in the past. We are all looking at ways to improve the students level of achievement, and it sounds like you are focussing on the long game (mindsets and strategies) and not the short game (grade and marks).

Thank you for including your classroom and assignment/marking narrative. It really helped paint a picture of your struggle.

It’s clearly provided you with some important perspective, particularly around assessment. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for sharing this great initiative and it sounds like you’re well on your way. This is no small task – to expand if not reshape student understanding of what that space is for.

Students often seem to have a default mode – maybe involving a device, maybe a head on a desk – that they’re desperate to return to no matter the task. Therefore the objective is rarely the…Read more
