Introduction: Reconnecting to your "Why"
Given the unprecedented challenges students, families, educators, and schools are facing coming out of a global pandemic, racial justice uprising, and shifts to blended learning, it is more important than ever that we reconnect with and remain grounded in our "why."
Take a few minutes to watch the video "Know Your Why" from Michael Jr. The video is also available here. As you watch, jot down your reflections:
What is your why?
What are some of the barriers to you operating in your why?
What are ways you are finding to reconnect or remain connected to your why?
What do you hope your why will bring to engaging with your students within a remote/blended learning context?
Now, take a minute to watch this video from Dr. Chris Emdin. The video is also available here. After you do, take a moment to reflect:
How is your “why” nurturing the brilliance of students?
Now, let's take a dive into the "what" of culturally responsive-sustaining education. As we dive in, keep your "why" front and center, and draw connections between your why and the why of CRSE.
