CASEL Equity Work Group Day 2

Today was filled with many powerful connections, discussions and wonderments. Here are a few selected highlights/takeaways:

• Previous life experiences filter how one understands safety

• The brain is/becomes good at what it does a lot

• How you explain the situation will determine your response – ask a question (listen & learn) before you try to fix

• To be culturally competent one must gain knowledge, develop skills, and practice self-aware

• To promote student voice => “In school field trip” - Students participate with teachers in professional development and/or students ask questions of teachers regarding pedagogy, expectations and perceptions.

• “Reframe” trauma as “struggle and triumph”

One of the problems that we treat racism as if it is a disease that can be cured and we just haven’t found the right treatment yet... we should understand racism as a chronic condition ... in the United States we are “Raciholics” ... we should approach this like a 12 step program… “Hello, my name is America and I’m a racist.”
