Make Tier 1 the priority

Make Tier 1 the priority
Tiers 2 & 3 are a direct reflection of how effective your Tier 1 is.
Design Tier 1 so that it's all it should be for learners & teachers.
It's the only way things change to benefit everyone.

Lots of good conversations today using our new Word Generation Vocabulary strategies. These students used our school wide, 5 vocab words of the week to discuss whether students should get paid for their performance in school? @SwantonMS @readingways

1. Recognize you have biases
2. Evaluate them critically
3. Challenge assumptions and traditions
Sketchnote by @tnvora based on work by @SmitaTharoor
ALT Sketch note text: Unconscious Bias. What is it? It's instinctively categorizing people and things without being aware of it. A flaw in thinking guided by past experiences and mental preconditioning. Did you know there are 150 types of biases? And they impact us, our work and our relationships. How to deal with your biases? 1. Know them well. Read about them, recognize they exist. Be mindful in your words and actions. 2. Think critically. Attend to data and evidences. Look at problems as a diamond with multiple facets and not asa coin with only two sides. 3. Challenge assumptions and traditions. Take a contrary view. Ask why and why not often? Embrace diversity. Practice empathy.

My 8yo/2nd grader just received a Sat. night check-in phone call from her teacher & she was PUMPED! 😁
They chatted about what she’s been reading & how much they both miss school.
Thx to @MelrosePS & all the loving, dedicated teachers who keep reaching out — it means so much ❤️
