There were a number of moments/ideas that resonated with me while viewing the videos (in particular the Learning Forward Keynote from 20218).
1. Inspire vs. Require
2. The voice of "slow down: sounds a lot like the voice of "don't ever start."
3. The need for community partnership
4. The need for diversity in hiring
5. The importance of amplifying student voices.
In our effort to get things moving faster, we risk the "strong-arm" approach which may not achieve the change of heart and belief that we are looking for. This has to be balanced avoiding giving in to the segment of the population that keeps wanting to slow the process down because they are afraid or because they truly don't believe in it.
It would be great to partner with local industries, companies, businesses to work on empowering diverse voices. I am hoping to talk more about this with our policy board.
I am eager to learn more about how we can encourage students of color to go into the field of education!! I know NYSED and NYSTCs are working on this. I want to be a part of it!
I also want to empower our students to imagine the school they want to attend and that meets all their needs and then give them the tools and the voice to make that happen.
