Learning isn’t just about sitting still—it’s about using hands, trying things out, and getting in on the action. #CLR #culturallyresponsive #beyou

To validate and affirm with BEYOU in mind is a leveling up because it requires intentionality, purpose, and strategy. VABB focus on BEYOU will support you with the resources to level up your VABB.

📚✨ Culturally Authentic Text Spotlight
Borders by Thomas King, illustrated by Natasha Donovan, tells the story of a mother who refuses to identify as anything but Blackfoot at the border. A powerful, quiet stand for Indigenous identity and sovereignty.

Ghislaine Maxwell trafficked girls. Now she gets work release.

This isn’t justice. It’s a reward.

She’s not reformed,she’s rehearsing her comeback. The system that let Epstein off the hook is doing it again.

The survivors get silence. She gets a job.

This isn’t a mistake. It’s how power works.

I’m starting to get worried that even releasing the Epstein files won’t be enough. By the time they actually get released (if) Trump will have enough control of enough institutions and invoked military control of enough of the US for us to meaningfully do anything about it.

These are scary times.

Is Trump rebranding slavery as “Owner-Responsibility”? Sure sounds like it.

Let’s talk trust.

How do you build meaningful connections with students from different cultural backgrounds? What strategies have helped you foster trust—and where could you improve?

Take a moment to reflect. Real relationships start with real reflection. #trust #classroom #culturallyresponsive

#BeYou stands for “Be Engaged Your Own Unique Way,” and it speaks to giving students opportunities to be their cultural and linguistic selves at school without fear that their behavior will be seen as a problem. Come back often at CLR to check for the new #BeYou focus!

From the way you connect with students to the examples you use in lessons, your culture plays a role in shaping your teaching style. How does your background, experiences, and identity impact the way you educate and inspire?
