How are teachers building relationships, developing learning communities, and working to build consistent structures of learning? What challenges and surprises have arisen through the first three weeks of school? How has our work for equity, social justice and antiracism continued? These questions and more will be covered in our first conversation of the 2021-22 school year.
The school year’s end is in sight and for many of us, unwinding the experience will take time, space, reflection and healing. What did we learn?

This month we continued our discussion related to student empowerment, shared perspectives, and addressing issues related to current events (anti-racism, white supremacy and privilege).
