Dr. Banks: “Whenever we make progress, we evoke this White reactionof fear/rage.” Dr. Tatum: “There would not be so much pushback if there had not been so much progress.” Those of us who are racialized as White must truly wrestle with this. #U46EquityMatters @TonySandersU46

As we prepare to greet our students on August 16th in U-46, let's be mindful of the critical nature of engaging with them correctly by their names and of the language we utilize, nurturing inclusivity for all expressions and experiences of gender. #U46EquityMatters

#U46EquityMatters Symposium - C. Ashton asking simple & profound questions with dramatic implications for our practice of Critical Love. How can we ensure that we see all of our students as full/whole, and interrogate our biases about what that fullness should be comprised of?

Let's make sure to sit with these words from Dr. Sealey-Ruiz before we greet our students on August 16th. And, let's make sure that our love is manifested, among other things, through truly holding high expectations for every child. #U46EquityMatters

At our #U46EquityMatters Symposium, our very own Dr. Williams is breaking down the theory, practice, and structure of fiscal equity. Let's not forget that we as school and district leaders must ensure that resources and fiscal operations are executed in a way that centers equity.

Happy to live in a city (City of Elgin ), work for a school district (School District U-46 ), and partner with amazing organizations (e.g. Side Street Studio Arts) that all show up for Pride, even in the pouring rain, with love and unity.
