Establishing Your #GritCrewEDU

We are thrilled to share with you that we are continuing our Leading by Learning series facilitated by Traci Browder and Dawn Harris in our weekly #LeadLAP chats.  Our time together is focused on taking steps to eliminate systemic racism and oppression in our classrooms and schools. 

Last week we focused on the idea of setbacks and how to persevere through them. Dawn and Traci introduced us to four types of setbacks we can expect to encounter as we move forward in this work, and we talked about action steps we will take to get through them and push forward. Below are the topics we discussed, and you can find a full archive of Saturday’s chat on Setbacks here: Overcoming Setbacks #LeadLAP 6/22/20

We are continuing to expand on this topic all week with our slow chat. We invite you reflect on the question below and share your thoughts with us in the comment section below or using the #LeadLAP and #GritCrewEDU hashtags on Twitter.

This Saturday, we are going to continue our Leading by Learning series with a focus on creating your OWN Grit Crew because doing the work of eliminating systemic racism in our classrooms and schools is not a trend, it is a commitment! In the words of Traci and Dawn, It’s a commitment of vulnerability, transformation, and accountability to understand and improve how we think about, talk about, and design instruction with an anti-racism mindset.” We encourage you to watch the video below prior to Saturday’s chat to learn more about the topic we will be discussing.

We want you to know that we are committed to doing this work. We are in it for the long haul. We hope you will make the commitment to join us.

With love – Shelley and Beth
