  all
• 0:51
  of

  our

  Dreams.
• 0:59
  We

  were

  happy
• 1:00
  that

  Jim

  Britt
• 1:02
  and
• 1:02
  Dr.

  west

  were

• 1:08
  And
• 1:09
  in
• 1:09
  Part
• 1:09
  two,
• 1:10
  we're
• 1:10
  also
• 1:11
  joined
• 1:11
  by
• 1:11
  another
• 1:12
  one
• 1:12
  of
• 1:12
  our
• 1:12
  Season
• 1:12
  nine
• 1:13
  guests,
• 1:13
  Matthew
• 1:14
  Pinchonot.
• 1:15
  In
• 1:16
  both
• 1:16
  of
• 1:16
  our
• 1:16
  conversations
• 1:17
  we
• 1:17
  focused
• 1:18
  on
• 1:18
  three
• 1:18
  over
• 1:19
  overarching
• 1:20
  questions.
• 1:21
  1.
• 1:22
  Sadly,
• 1:22
  we
• 1:23
  know
• 1:23
  that
• 1:23
  many
• 1:23
  students,
• 1:24
  and
• 1:24
  this
• 1:24
  is
• 1:25
  especially
• 1:25
  true
• 1:25
  for
• 1:26
  those
• 1:26
  students
• 1:27
  from
• 1:27
  marginalized
• 1:28
  populations,
• 1:29
  find
• 1:29
  schooling
• 1:30
  to
• 1:30
  be
• 1:30
  alienating
• 1:31
  and
• 1:31
  even
• 1:32
  wounding.
• 1:33
  How
• 1:33
  can
• 1:34
  we
• 1:34
  demonstrate
• 1:34
  to
• 1:34
  our
• 1:35
  students
• 1:35
  that
• 1:35
  their
• 1:35
  lives
• 1:36
  are
• 1:36
  unique
• 1:37
  and
• 1:37
  precious?
• 1:38
  And
• 1:38
  why
• 1:38
  is
• 1:39
  it
• 1:39
  so
• 1:39
  difficult
• 1:39
  to
• 1:39
  find
• 1:40
  humanity
• 1:40
  in
• 1:40
  our
• 1:40
  classrooms?
• 1:42
  How
• 1:42
  might
• 1:42
  we
• 1:42
  remedy
• 1:43
  that?
• 1:43
  And
• 1:43
  what
• 1:44
  will
• 1:44
  make
• 1:44
  this
• 1:45
  even
• 1:45
  more
• 1:45
  challenging
• 1:46
  in
• 1:46
  the
• 1:47
  years
• 1:47
  ahead?
• 1:48
  2.
• 1:49
  As
• 1:49
  we
• 1:49
  wrap
• 1:50
  up
• 1:50
  another
• 1:50
  school
• 1:50
  year
• 1:51
  and
• 1:51
  prepare
• 1:51
  for
• 1:52
  25:26,
• 1:53
  how
• 1:54
  should
• 1:54
  we
• 1:54
  think
• 1:54
  about
• 1:55
  this
• 1:55
  huge
• 1:55
  responsibility
• 1:56
  we
• 1:57
  accept
• 1:57
  to
• 1:58
  ensure
• 1:58
  that
• 1:58
  each
• 1:59
  of
• 1:59
  our
• 1:59
  children
• 1:59
  have
• 2:00
  open
• 2:00
  doors
• 2:01
  and
• 2:01
  unlimited
• 2:02
  possibilities?
• 2:03
  How
• 2:03
  should
• 2:04
  we
• 2:04
  all
• 2:04
  respond
• 2:05
  to
• 2:05
  that
• 2:05
  charge?
• 2:07
  And
• 2:07
  finally,
• 2:08
  from
• 2:08
  your
• 2:08
  lens
• 2:09
  and
• 2:09
  your
• 2:09
  areas
• 2:10
  of
• 2:10
  expertise,
• 2:11
  what
• 2:11
  does
• 2:11
  it
• 2:11
  mean
• 2:12
  and
• 2:12
  what
• 2:12
  do
• 2:12
  we
• 2:12
  want
• 2:13
  educators
• 2:13
  to
• 2:14
  remember
• 2:14
  about
• 2:15
  this
• 2:15
  season's
• 2:16
  theme
• 2:16
  Cultivating
• 2:17
  Hope
• 2:18
  or
• 2:18
  Killing
• 2:18
  Dreams?
• 2:20
  And
• 2:20
  keep
• 2:20
  in
• 2:20
  mind
• 2:20
  that
• 2:21
  at
• 2:21
  the
• 2:21
  end
• 2:21
  of
• 2:21
  the
• 2:21
  day,
• 2:22
  what
• 2:22
  we
• 2:22
  do
• 2:22
  for
• 2:23
  some
• 2:23
  children
• 2:23
  is
• 2:24
  even
• 2:24
  bigger
• 2:25
  than
• 2:25
  cultivating
• 2:26
  hope
• 2:26
  or
• 2:26
  killing
• 2:26
  dreams.
• 2:27
  It's
• 2:27
  a
• 2:28
  matter
• 2:28
  of
• 2:28
  life
• 2:28
  and
• 2:29
  death.
• 2:30
  You
• 2:30
  know.
• 2:31
  This
• 2:31
  was
• 2:31
  a
• 2:31
  great
• 2:31
  conversation
• 2:32
  and
• 2:32
  there
• 2:32
  were
• 2:33
  incredibly
• 2:34
  number
• 2:35
  of
• 2:35
  intriguing
• 2:36
  ideas
• 2:36
  that
• 2:37
  were
• 2:37
  brought
• 2:37
  to
• 2:37
  the
• 2:37
  space.
• 2:38
  I
• 2:38
  hope
• 2:38
  you'll
• 2:39
  listen
• 2:39
  to
• 2:39
  the
• 2:39
  entire
• 2:40
  episode
• 2:41
  to
• 2:41
  hear
• 2:41
  the
• 2:41
  details
• 2:43
  together.
• 2:43
  Let's
• 2:44
  cultivate
• 2:44
  hope
• 2:45
  for
• 2:45
  each
• 2:46
  and
• 2:46
  every
• 2:47
  student.
• 2:48
  And
• 2:48
  now
• 2:49
  episode
• 2:50
  13
• 2:50
  and
• 2:50
  a
• 2:51
  great
• 2:51
  conversation
• 2:52
  with
• 2:52
  Jim
• 2:52
  Veneta,
• 2:53
  Reuben
• 2:54
  Britt
• 2:54
  Jr.
• 2:55
  Dr.
• 2:55
  Shavita
• 2:56
  West,
• 2:56
  Matthew
• 2:57
  Pinchonot
• 2:58
  and
• 2:58
  on
• 2:58
  my
• 2:59
  amazing
• 2:59
  panel.
• 3:00
  You're
• 3:00
  not
• 3:00
  going
• 3:01
  to
• 3:01
  want
• 3:01
  to
• 3:01
  miss
• 3:01
  it.
• 3:02
  Take
• 3:02
  a
• 3:02
  listen.
• 3:09
  I
• 3:09
  just
• 3:11
  like
• 3:11
  to
• 3:11
  add
• 3:11
  to
• 3:11
  this
• 3:12
  because
• 3:12
  the
• 3:13
  comments
• 3:13
  have
• 3:13
  been
• 3:14
  right
• 3:14
  on
• 3:14
  point.
• 3:16
  My
• 3:16
  wife
• 3:18
  is
• 3:19
  a
• 3:19
  Vice
• 3:19
  principal
• 3:19
  at
• 3:19
  an
• 3:19
  alternative
• 3:20
  school.
• 3:22
  These
• 3:22
  are
• 3:22
  students
• 3:23
  that
• 3:24
  just
• 3:25
  had
• 3:27
  behavioral
• 3:27
  problems
• 3:28
  at
• 3:28
  the
• 3:28
  main
• 3:28
  high
• 3:29
  school.
• 3:30
  The
• 3:31
  alternative
• 3:32
  school
• 3:33
  is
• 3:34
  smaller.
• 3:34
  It's
• 3:35
  more
• 3:35
  community.
• 3:36
  Like,
• 3:37
  we
• 3:38
  have
• 3:38
  professor
• 3:39
  teachers
• 3:40
  who
• 3:40
  are
• 3:40
  really
• 3:42
  committed
• 3:43
  to
• 3:43
  the
• 3:43
  students.
• 3:45
  Two
• 3:45
  weeks
• 3:46
  ago,
• 3:46
  they
• 3:46
  received
• 3:47
  a
• 3:47
  report
• 3:47
  that
• 3:48
  the
• 3:48
  alternative
• 3:49
  school
• 3:50
  scored
• 3:51
  the
• 3:51
  highest
• 3:51
  in
• 3:52
  math
• 3:52
  than
• 3:52
  the
• 3:53
  other
• 3:53
  high
• 3:53
  schools
• 3:53
  in
• 3:53
  the
• 3:54
  city.
• 3:56
  To
• 3:56
  add
• 3:57
  to
• 3:57
  that,
• 3:58
  they
• 4:01
  because
• 4:02
  the
• 4:03
  improvement
• 4:03
  of
• 4:03
  the
• 4:03
  students,
• 4:04
  because
• 4:04
  once
• 4:04
  their
• 4:05
  behavior
• 4:05
  improves,
• 4:07
  they
• 4:07
  now
• 4:08
  can
• 4:08
  go
• 4:08
  back
• 4:08
  to
• 4:09
  the
• 4:09
  main
• 4:09
  high
• 4:09
  school.
• 4:09
  The
• 4:10
  students
• 4:10
  don't
• 4:10
  want
• 4:10
  to
• 4:10
  go
• 4:11
  back.
• 4:12
  The
• 4:13
  school's
• 4:15
  success.
• 4:15
  Now
• 4:16
  they
• 4:16
  have
• 4:16
  some
• 4:16
  problems.
• 4:16
  Not
• 4:17
  a
• 4:17
  perfect
• 4:17
  place,
• 4:17
  but
• 4:18
  I
• 4:18
  just
• 4:19
  use
• 4:19
  that
• 4:19
  as
• 4:19
  an
• 4:19
  example
• 4:20
  when
• 4:20
  you
• 4:20
  talk
• 4:20
  about
• 4:21
  math,
• 4:21
  which
• 4:21
  is
• 4:23
  something
• 4:23
  that
• 4:24
  a
• 4:24
  lot
• 4:24
  of
• 4:24
  students
• 4:25
  don't
• 4:25
  particularly
• 4:25
  care
• 4:26
  about
• 4:26
  or
• 4:26
  really
• 4:27
  kind
• 4:27
  of
• 4:27
  shy
• 4:27
  away
• 4:28
  from.
• 4:28
  And
• 4:28
  to
• 4:29
  see
• 4:29
  an
• 4:29
  alternative
• 4:30
  school
• 4:30
  have
• 4:30
  higher
• 4:31
  grades
• 4:33
  test
• 4:33
  scores
• 4:34
  than
• 4:35
  students
• 4:35
  at
• 4:36
  the
• 4:36
  main
• 4:36
  high
• 4:36
  school
• 4:37
  and
• 4:37
  the
• 4:37
  other
• 4:37
  high
• 4:38
  school
• 4:38
  is
• 4:39
  something
• 4:39
  to
• 4:39
  behold.
• 4:41
  But
• 4:41
  to
• 4:41
  summarize,
• 4:42
  this
• 4:43
  is
• 4:44
  that
• 4:44
  community
• 4:45
  and
• 4:45
  the
• 4:45
  success
• 4:45
  of
• 4:46
  the
• 4:47
  high
• 4:47
  school.
• 4:48
  They
• 4:48
  changed
• 4:48
  their
• 4:49
  name.
• 4:50
  It
• 4:51
  used
• 4:51
  to
• 4:51
  be
• 4:51
  called
• 4:52
  Daylight
• 4:52
  Twilight.
• 4:54
  It
• 4:54
  just.
• 4:54
  That's
• 4:54
  the
• 4:55
  stigma
• 4:55
  in
• 4:55
  itself.
• 4:56
  Just
• 4:56
  the
• 4:56
  name,
• 4:57
  because
• 4:57
  everybody
• 4:57
  like,
• 4:58
  oh,
• 4:58
  that's
• 4:58
  where
• 4:58
  all
• 4:59
  the
• 5:00
  students
• 5:00
  with
• 5:01
  poor
• 5:02
  behaviors
• 5:03
  go
• 5:03
  to.
• 5:04
  Now
• 5:04
  it's
• 5:04
  called
• 5:05
  Capitol
• 5:05
  High
• 5:05
  School.
• 5:07
  But
• 5:07
  they're
• 5:07
  doing
• 5:08
  things
• 5:09
  where
• 5:11
  in
• 5:11
  a
• 5:11
  smaller
• 5:11
  setting.
• 5:12
  And
• 5:13
  they
• 5:13
  have
• 5:13
  created
• 5:14
  a
• 5:14
  community
• 5:15
  environment
• 5:16
  where
• 5:16
  students
• 5:16
  have
• 5:17
  really
• 5:18
  started
• 5:18
  to
• 5:19
  excel.
• 5:21
  And
• 5:21
  I
• 5:22
  don't
• 5:22
  want
• 5:22
  to
• 5:22
  take
• 5:22
  up
• 5:23
  the
• 5:23
  space
• 5:24
  too
• 5:24
  much.
• 5:24
  And
• 5:24
  I
• 5:24
  think
• 5:24
  about
• 5:26
  during
• 5:26
  my
• 5:26
  time
• 5:27
  as
• 5:27
  a
• 5:27
  teacher
• 5:28
  in
• 5:28
  Boston
• 5:28
  public
• 5:28
  school
• 5:29
  system,
• 5:29
  we
• 5:29
  had
• 5:29
  all
• 5:30
  these
• 5:30
  students
• 5:30
  in
• 5:31
  middle
• 5:31
  school.
• 5:31
  They
• 5:31
  were
• 5:31
  just
• 5:32
  hyper.
• 5:33
  So
• 5:33
  we
• 5:33
  got
• 5:33
  together
• 5:33
  with
• 5:34
  the
• 5:34
  students
• 5:35
  and
• 5:35
  we
• 5:36
  talked
• 5:36
  with
• 5:36
  them.
• 5:37
  And
• 5:37
  what
• 5:37
  happened
• 5:37
  was
• 5:38
  we
• 5:39
  talked
• 5:39
  about
• 5:39
  creating
• 5:40
  a
• 5:42
  sports
• 5:42
  exhibition
• 5:43
  day.
• 5:44
  And
• 5:44
  the
• 5:46
  other
• 5:46
  teachers,
• 5:46
  oh,
• 5:50
  that's
• 5:50
  unheard
• 5:51
  of.
• 5:51
  But
• 5:52
  we
• 5:52
  had
• 5:52
  the
• 5:52
  student
• 5:53
  support.
• 5:54
  The
• 5:54
  students
• 5:54
  were
• 5:55
  excited
• 5:55
  about
• 5:56
  it,
• 5:56
  that
• 5:56
  they
• 5:57
  couldn't
• 5:57
  say
• 5:57
  no.
• 5:59
  And
• 5:59
  then
• 6:00
  we
• 6:00
  talked
• 6:00
  about
• 6:00
  inviting
• 6:01
  the
• 6:01
  parents.
• 6:02
  I
• 6:02
  had
• 6:02
  one
• 6:02
  student
• 6:04
  who
• 6:04
  used
• 6:04
  to
• 6:05
  always
• 6:05
  have
• 6:06
  behavioral
• 6:06
  problems,
• 6:07
  turned
• 6:08
  out
• 6:08
  to
• 6:08
  be
• 6:08
  one
• 6:08
  of
• 6:08
  the
• 6:08
  leaders
• 6:09
  in
• 6:09
  the
• 6:09
  program.
• 6:11
  And
• 6:11
  he
• 6:11
  had
• 6:11
  people
• 6:11
  making
• 6:12
  signs
• 6:12
  and
• 6:12
  everything.
• 6:13
  So
• 6:13
  the
• 6:13
  day
• 6:13
  of
• 6:14
  the
• 6:14
  event,
• 6:15
  when
• 6:15
  the
• 6:16
  parents
• 6:16
  came
• 6:16
  and
• 6:16
  his
• 6:17
  mother
• 6:17
  was
• 6:17
  there
• 6:17
  and
• 6:18
  she
• 6:18
  was
• 6:18
  all
• 6:18
  happy
• 6:19
  and
• 6:19
  proud
• 6:19
  of
• 6:19
  him.
• 6:20
  So
• 6:20
  I
• 6:20
  went
• 6:20
  over
• 6:20
  to
• 6:20
  him,
• 6:21
  I
• 6:21
  said,
• 6:21
  so
• 6:21
  this
• 6:22
  is
• 6:22
  your
• 6:22
  mother?
• 6:22
  And
• 6:23
  you
• 6:23
  could
• 6:23
  see
• 6:23
  the
• 6:23
  look
• 6:24
  on
• 6:24
  his
• 6:24
  face.
• 6:24
  Like,
• 6:24
  oh,
• 6:25
  oh,
• 6:25
  he's
• 6:25
  gonna
• 6:26
  say
• 6:26
  all
• 6:26
  these
• 6:26
  things,
• 6:27
  negative
• 6:27
  things
• 6:27
  about
• 6:27
  him.
• 6:28
  And
• 6:28
  I
• 6:28
  said.
• 6:28
  I
• 6:28
  commended
• 6:29
  him.
• 6:29
  I
• 6:29
  said,
• 6:29
  you
• 6:30
  know,
• 6:30
  you
• 6:30
  really
• 6:31
  showed
• 6:32
  true
• 6:33
  leadership.
• 6:33
  And
• 6:34
  he
• 6:34
  was
• 6:35
  kind
• 6:35
  of
• 6:35
  like.
• 6:35
  And
• 6:36
  I
• 6:36
  said,
• 6:36
  you
• 6:36
  did.
• 6:36
  I
• 6:36
  said,
• 6:36
  I
• 6:37
  watched
• 6:37
  you.
• 6:38
  And
• 6:39
  that
• 6:40
  student
• 6:40
  went
• 6:40
  on
• 6:41
  to
• 6:41
  do
• 6:41
  great
• 6:41
  things,
• 6:42
  but
• 6:42
  he
• 6:42
  was
• 6:42
  just
• 6:42
  all,
• 6:43
  oh,
• 6:43
  Mr.
• 6:43
  Brisk,
• 6:44
  gonna
• 6:44
  say,
• 6:44
  I
• 6:44
  did
• 6:45
  this.
• 6:45
  I
• 6:45
  did
• 6:45
  that,
• 6:46
  but
• 6:46
  it
• 6:47
  made
• 6:47
  him
• 6:47
  feel
• 6:47
  good.
• 6:47
  But
• 6:48
  I
• 6:49
  was
• 6:49
  fortunate
• 6:49
  to
• 6:49
  get
• 6:50
  a
• 6:50
  nice
• 6:51
  base
• 6:51
  of
• 6:51
  student
• 6:52
  of
• 6:52
  teachers,
• 6:53
  let
• 6:53
  alone
• 6:54
  students
• 6:55
  to
• 6:56
  come
• 6:56
  together
• 6:57
  with
• 6:57
  the
• 6:57
  meeting
• 6:58
  of
• 6:58
  the
• 6:58
  minds.
• 6:59
  And
• 6:59
  we
• 6:59
  created
• 6:59
  this
• 7:00
  particular
• 7:00
  program.
• 7:01
  They
• 7:01
  came
• 7:01
  up
• 7:02
  with
• 7:02
  the
• 7:02
  idea
• 7:02
  of
• 7:02
  a
• 7:03
  sports
• 7:03
  exhibit.
• 7:04
  And
• 7:04
  I
• 7:05
  was
• 7:05
  talking
• 7:05
  to
• 7:05
  one
• 7:05
  of
• 7:05
  my
• 7:06
  former
• 7:06
  colleagues
• 7:07
  who
• 7:07
  was
• 7:07
  one
• 7:07
  of
• 7:07
  those
• 7:08
  teachers.
• 7:09
  When
• 7:09
  we
• 7:09
  were
• 7:09
  talking
• 7:09
  about
• 7:10
  that,
• 7:10
  I
• 7:10
  said,
• 7:10
  yeah,
• 7:10
  those
• 7:10
  students
• 7:11
  were
• 7:11
  so
• 7:11
  hyper
• 7:11
  and
• 7:11
  we
• 7:12
  needed
• 7:12
  to
• 7:12
  do
• 7:12
  something,
• 7:13
  but
• 7:13
  we
• 7:13
  brought
• 7:14
  them
• 7:14
  to
• 7:14
  the
• 7:14
  table.
• 7:15
  And
• 7:16
  there's
• 7:16
  a
• 7:16
  word
• 7:16
  that's
• 7:17
  considered
• 7:17
  bad
• 7:18
  with
• 7:19
  this
• 7:19
  new
• 7:19
  administration.
• 7:20
  Inclusion.
• 7:21
  You
• 7:21
  know
• 7:22
  that
• 7:22
  you
• 7:22
  can
• 7:22
  say
• 7:23
  that
• 7:23
  word
• 7:23
  again.
• 7:25
  Inclusion.
• 7:28
  I
• 7:29
  n
• 7:30
  C
• 7:30
  C
• 7:30
  L
• 7:31
  U
• 7:31
  S
• 7:31
  I
• 7:32
  O
• 7:32
  N
• 7:33
  intrusion.
• 7:35
  Someone
• 7:35
  said
• 7:36
  diversity
• 7:36
  too.
• 7:38
  Somebody
• 7:38
  sprinkled
• 7:39
  that
• 7:39
  in
• 7:39
  there
• 7:39
  now.
• 7:42
  Just.
• 7:42
  To
• 7:42
  make
• 7:43
  it
• 7:43
  all
• 7:43
  go
• 7:44
  around,
• 7:44
  right?
• 7:46
  Reuben,
• 7:46
  I
• 7:46
  love
• 7:46
  that
• 7:47
  story.
• 7:47
  And
• 7:47
  here's
• 7:48
  what
• 7:48
  I
• 7:48
  took
• 7:48
  out.
• 7:48
  I,
• 7:49
  I
• 7:49
  took
• 7:49
  from
• 7:49
  that
• 7:51
  Each,
• 7:51
  each
• 7:52
  example
• 7:52
  you
• 7:53
  gave.
• 7:53
  The
• 7:54
  word
• 7:54
  that
• 7:54
  kept
• 7:55
  resonating
• 7:55
  with
• 7:56
  me
• 7:56
  is
• 7:56
  humanized
• 7:58
  students
• 7:58
  in
• 7:58
  an
• 7:59
  alternative
• 7:59
  school
• 8:00
  that
• 8:00
  are
• 8:01
  performing
• 8:01
  well.
• 8:02
  And
• 8:02
  there's
• 8:02
  a
• 8:03
  sense
• 8:03
  of
• 8:03
  community
• 8:04
  that
• 8:05
  has
• 8:05
  been
• 8:05
  built
• 8:06
  there.
• 8:06
  Not
• 8:07
  around
• 8:07
  necessarily
• 8:08
  just
• 8:08
  the
• 8:09
  behaviors
• 8:09
  these
• 8:09
  kids
• 8:10
  had
• 8:10
  when
• 8:11
  they
• 8:11
  came
• 8:11
  to
• 8:11
  the
• 8:12
  school,
• 8:12
  but
• 8:12
  recognizing
• 8:13
  the
• 8:13
  potential.
• 8:14
  So
• 8:15
  moving
• 8:15
  beyond
• 8:16
  just
• 8:16
  the
• 8:16
  behavior
• 8:17
  to
• 8:18
  really
• 8:18
  seeing
• 8:18
  the
• 8:19
  potential
• 8:19
  of
• 8:20
  the
• 8:20
  students.
• 8:21
  When
• 8:21
  we
• 8:21
  talk
• 8:22
  about
• 8:22
  the
• 8:22
  dynamics
• 8:23
  of
• 8:23
  being
• 8:24
  in
• 8:24
  classrooms
• 8:25
  and
• 8:25
  creating
• 8:26
  risk
• 8:26
  free
• 8:26
  learning
• 8:27
  environments
• 8:28
  or
• 8:28
  we
• 8:28
  have
• 8:28
  to
• 8:29
  be
• 8:29
  able
• 8:29
  to
• 8:29
  see
• 8:30
  our
• 8:31
  students
• 8:32
  as
• 8:32
  humans
• 8:33
  and
• 8:33
  what
• 8:33
  they're
• 8:33
  capable
• 8:34
  of
• 8:34
  doing
• 8:35
  beyond
• 8:35
  any
• 8:36
  of
• 8:36
  those
• 8:36
  labels
• 8:37
  that
• 8:37
  we
• 8:37
  talked
• 8:37
  about
• 8:39
  and
• 8:39
  beyond
• 8:39
  the
• 8:40
  conditions
• 8:40
  I
• 8:40
  think
• 8:41
  that
• 8:41
  have
• 8:41
  gotten
• 8:41
  them
• 8:42
  to
• 8:43
  certain
• 8:44
  places
• 8:45
  in
• 8:45
  our
• 8:45
  education
• 8:46
  system.
• 8:47
  And
• 8:47
  I
• 8:48
  say
• 8:48
  that
• 8:48
  not
• 8:48
  only
• 8:49
  for
• 8:49
  our
• 8:49
  students,
• 8:49
  but
• 8:50
  for
• 8:50
  our
• 8:50
  staffs
• 8:51
  as
• 8:51
  well.
• 8:52
  Administrators
• 8:53
  have
• 8:53
  to
• 8:53
  humanize
• 8:53
  their
• 8:54
  teachers.
• 8:55
  Right?
• 8:55
  I
• 8:55
  have
• 8:55
  to,
• 8:56
  to,
• 8:56
  to
• 8:56
  recognize
• 8:57
  your
• 8:57
  value
• 8:58
  and
• 8:59
  to
• 9:00
  have
• 9:00
  this
• 9:00
  conversation
• 9:01
  with
• 9:01
  you
• 9:02
  about
• 9:02
  what
• 9:03
  I
• 9:03
  believe
• 9:04
  that
• 9:04
  you
• 9:05
  can
• 9:05
  do
• 9:05
  for
• 9:06
  our
• 9:06
  students
• 9:07
  and
• 9:07
  recognizing
• 9:08
  that
• 9:08
  you're
• 9:09
  capable
• 9:09
  of
• 9:09
  delivering
• 9:10
  that
• 9:10
  too.
• 9:11
  And
• 9:11
  so
• 9:12
  I
• 9:12
  think
• 9:12
  if
• 9:12
  we,
• 9:13
  going
• 9:13
  back
• 9:13
  to
• 9:14
  the
• 9:14
  question
• 9:14
  of
• 9:14
  how
• 9:15
  do
• 9:15
  we
• 9:15
  model,
• 9:16
  how
• 9:16
  do
• 9:16
  we
• 9:16
  get
• 9:17
  there,
• 9:17
  is
• 9:17
  that
• 9:18
  it
• 9:18
  really
• 9:18
  is
• 9:18
  a
• 9:19
  top
• 9:19
  down
• 9:19
  system.
• 9:20
  I
• 9:20
  would
• 9:21
  say
• 9:21
  administrators
• 9:22
  need
• 9:22
  that
• 9:22
  too.
• 9:23
  I
• 9:23
  love
• 9:23
  my
• 9:23
  role
• 9:24
  as
• 9:24
  a
• 9:24
  performance
• 9:25
  coach
• 9:25
  with
• 9:26
  new
• 9:26
  principles
• 9:27
  because
• 9:27
  I
• 9:27
  get
• 9:28
  to,
• 9:28
  you
• 9:29
  know,
• 9:29
  work
• 9:29
  hand
• 9:29
  in
• 9:30
  hand
• 9:30
  with
• 9:30
  them,
• 9:30
  that
• 9:31
  when
• 9:31
  they
• 9:31
  make
• 9:31
  those
• 9:31
  mistakes,
• 9:32
  it's
• 9:33
  not
• 9:33
  seen
• 9:33
  as
• 9:34
  punitive.
• 9:34
  It's
• 9:35
  a
• 9:35
  growth
• 9:35
  opportunity,
• 9:36
  but
• 9:36
  an
• 9:37
  opportunity.
• 9:37
  It's
• 9:38
  a
• 9:38
  safe
• 9:38
  space.
• 9:39
  And
• 9:39
  imagine
• 9:40
  if
• 9:40
  principals
• 9:41
  were
• 9:41
  able
• 9:42
  to
• 9:42
  create
• 9:42
  that
• 9:42
  same
• 9:43
  dynamic
• 9:44
  for
• 9:44
  our
• 9:44
  teachers.
• 9:45
  I
• 9:46
  am
• 9:46
  crazy
• 9:46
  enough
• 9:46
  to
• 9:47
  believe
• 9:47
  that
• 9:47
  our
• 9:47
  teachers
• 9:48
  can
• 9:48
  create
• 9:48
  those
• 9:49
  dynamics
• 9:49
  for
• 9:50
  our,
• 9:50
  our
• 9:50
  students
• 9:50
  as
• 9:51
  well.
• 9:51
  And
• 9:52
  we
• 9:52
  call
• 9:52
  those
• 9:52
  dynamics
• 9:53
  open
• 9:54
  doors
• 9:55
  and
• 9:55
  unlimited
• 9:56
  possibilities.
• 9:58
  You
• 9:58
  know,
• 9:58
  Ruben,
• 9:59
  I
• 9:59
  also
• 9:59
  took
• 10:00
  away
• 10:00
  from
• 10:00
  that
• 10:01
  story.
• 10:02
  I,
• 10:02
  I
• 10:03
  love
• 10:03
  the
• 10:03
  part
• 10:03
  where
• 10:04
  you
• 10:04
  know,
• 10:04
  you
• 10:04
  walk
• 10:04
  up
• 10:05
  and
• 10:05
  he's
• 10:05
  like,
• 10:05
  oh,
• 10:06
  I'm
• 10:06
  gonna
• 10:06
  hear
• 10:06
  it.
• 10:07
  Yeah.
• 10:07
  That
• 10:08
  is
• 10:08
  a
• 10:08
  student
• 10:09
  who
• 10:09
  is
• 10:09
  used
• 10:10
  to
• 10:10
  being
• 10:10
  corrected.
• 10:13
  Sharita,
• 10:13
  to
• 10:14
  go
• 10:14
  back
• 10:14
  to
• 10:14
  what
• 10:14
  you
• 10:14
  were
• 10:14
  saying
• 10:14
  earlier,
• 10:15
  controlled
• 10:16
  and
• 10:17
  is
• 10:17
  not
• 10:17
  used
• 10:18
  to
• 10:18
  having,
• 10:19
  or
• 10:19
  at
• 10:19
  that
• 10:19
  time
• 10:20
  was
• 10:20
  not
• 10:20
  used
• 10:20
  to
• 10:21
  having
• 10:21
  his
• 10:22
  strengths
• 10:23
  highlighted.
• 10:24
  Right.
• 10:24
  And
• 10:24
  strengths
• 10:25
  based
• 10:25
  approaches.
• 10:25
  Right.
• 10:26
  There's
• 10:26
  research
• 10:27
  and
• 10:27
  models
• 10:28
  and
• 10:28
  all
• 10:29
  of
• 10:29
  that.
• 10:29
  But
• 10:29
  the
• 10:30
  human
• 10:30
  element
• 10:31
  is
• 10:32
  I
• 10:32
  see
• 10:33
  you
• 10:34
  for
• 10:34
  your
• 10:34
  value,
• 10:35
  for
• 10:35
  what
• 10:36
  you're
• 10:36
  good
• 10:36
  at,
• 10:37
  for
• 10:38
  what
• 10:38
  you
• 10:38
  bring
• 10:39
  to
• 10:39
  the
• 10:39
  table,
• 10:41
  not
• 10:41
  just
• 10:42
  for
• 10:44
  the
• 10:44
  times
• 10:44
  that
• 10:44
  you're
• 10:45
  acting
• 10:45
  out.
• 10:46
  And
• 10:47
  that,
• 10:48
  that
• 10:48
  just
• 10:48
  really
• 10:48
  highlights
• 10:49
  how
• 10:49
  many
• 10:50
  of
• 10:50
  our
• 10:50
  students,
• 10:51
  right,
• 10:52
  Are
• 10:52
  just
• 10:52
  used
• 10:52
  to
• 10:53
  be
• 10:53
  being
• 10:53
  told
• 10:54
  no,
• 10:54
  right
• 10:55
  to
• 10:55
  being
• 10:56
  told
• 10:57
  you're
• 10:57
  bad,
• 10:58
  you're
• 11:00
  going
• 11:00
  back
• 11:00
  to
• 11:01
  the
• 11:01
  label.
• 11:02
  They
• 11:02
  adopt
• 11:02
  that
• 11:03
  label
• 11:03
  for
• 11:04
  themselves.
• 11:04
  They
• 11:05
  expect
• 11:05
  that.
• 11:07
  And
• 11:07
  when
• 11:08
  an
• 11:08
  educator
• 11:09
  sees
• 11:09
  something
• 11:09
  in
• 11:10
  a
• 11:10
  kid
• 11:10
  that
• 11:10
  maybe
• 11:11
  they
• 11:13
  haven't
• 11:13
  noticed
• 11:14
  about
• 11:14
  themselves
• 11:15
  yet
• 11:15
  or
• 11:16
  no
• 11:16
  one
• 11:16
  else
• 11:16
  has
• 11:16
  pointed
• 11:17
  out
• 11:17
  to
• 11:17
  them,
• 11:18
  that
• 11:19
  opens
• 11:19
  doors.
• 11:20
  Jim,
• 11:20
  you
• 11:21
  said
• 11:21
  so
• 11:21
  for
• 11:21
  us,
• 11:22
  okay?
• 11:22
  So
• 11:23
  for
• 11:23
  us
• 11:23
  to
• 11:23
  say
• 11:23
  that
• 11:24
  tracking
• 11:25
  is
• 11:26
  not
• 11:27
  live
• 11:28
  and
• 11:28
  well
• 11:28
  in
• 11:29
  education
• 11:30
  is
• 11:31
  a
• 11:31
  fallacy.
• 11:33
  I'm
• 11:33
  going
• 11:33
  to
• 11:33
  let
• 11:33
  you
• 11:34
  know
• 11:34
  when
• 11:34
  I
• 11:34
  heard
• 11:35
  this
• 11:35
  story,
• 11:37
  and
• 11:37
  I've
• 11:37
  heard
• 11:37
  the
• 11:38
  story
• 11:38
  before,
• 11:38
  but
• 11:38
  this
• 11:39
  is
• 11:39
  the
• 11:39
  first
• 11:39
  time
• 11:39
  this
• 11:39
  hit
• 11:40
  home.
• 11:41
  How
• 11:41
  many
• 11:41
  of
• 11:42
  those
• 11:42
  students,
• 11:42
  if
• 11:43
  they're
• 11:43
  getting
• 11:43
  math
• 11:43
  scores
• 11:44
  that
• 11:44
  are
• 11:44
  spiking
• 11:45
  above
• 11:45
  the
• 11:45
  other
• 11:46
  high
• 11:46
  schools
• 11:47
  in
• 11:47
  the
• 11:47
  district,
• 11:48
  how
• 11:48
  many
• 11:48
  of
• 11:48
  those
• 11:49
  students
• 11:49
  are
• 11:49
  really
• 11:50
  alternative
• 11:51
  by
• 11:51
  criteria,
• 11:53
  right?
• 11:54
  Did
• 11:54
  they
• 11:54
  start
• 11:55
  out
• 11:55
  as
• 11:55
  alternative
• 11:56
  or
• 11:56
  were
• 11:57
  they
• 11:57
  with
• 11:57
  teachers
• 11:57
  that
• 11:58
  really
• 11:58
  didn't
• 11:58
  understand
• 11:59
  who
• 11:59
  they
• 11:59
  are?
• 12:00
  Because
• 12:00
  teachers
• 12:01
  didn't
• 12:01
  take
• 12:01
  enough
• 12:02
  time
• 12:02
  to
• 12:02
  dignify
• 12:03
  them,
• 12:04
  right?
• 12:05
  To
• 12:05
  sit
• 12:06
  with
• 12:06
  them,
• 12:07
  to
• 12:08
  understand
• 12:08
  them,
• 12:10
  to
• 12:10
  really
• 12:11
  get
• 12:11
  to
• 12:11
  understand
• 12:11
  what's
• 12:12
  in
• 12:12
  their
• 12:12
  invisible
• 12:13
  knapsack.
• 12:14
  All
• 12:15
  they
• 12:15
  were
• 12:15
  looking
• 12:15
  at
• 12:16
  was
• 12:16
  the
• 12:16
  fact
• 12:16
  that
• 12:16
  they
• 12:17
  didn't
• 12:17
  have
• 12:17
  a
• 12:17
  number
• 12:17
  two
• 12:17
  sharpened
• 12:18
  pencil
• 12:19
  in
• 12:19
  their
• 12:20
  physical
• 12:21
  backpack.
• 12:22
  I
• 12:23
  would
• 12:23
  venture
• 12:23
  to
• 12:24
  guess
• 12:24
  that
• 12:24
  once
• 12:25
  we
• 12:25
  center
• 12:26
  humanity
• 12:26
  in
• 12:27
  schools,
• 12:28
  right?
• 12:29
  And
• 12:29
  that's
• 12:29
  the
• 12:29
  focus
• 12:30
  of
• 12:30
  my
• 12:31
  upcoming
• 12:31
  book,
• 12:32
  right?
• 12:32
  It's
• 12:32
  about
• 12:33
  centering
• 12:33
  humanity
• 12:34
  in
• 12:34
  schools.
• 12:36
  Just
• 12:36
  that
• 12:37
  engagement
• 12:37
  itself
• 12:38
  will
• 12:38
  move
• 12:38
  the
• 12:38
  needle
• 12:39
  in
• 12:39
  everywhere
• 12:39
  else.
• 12:40
  It's
• 12:41
  proven
• 12:41
  that
• 12:42
  when
• 12:42
  students
• 12:42
  are
• 12:42
  engaged,
• 12:44
  right?
• 12:45
  When
• 12:45
  students
• 12:45
  feel
• 12:46
  safe,
• 12:46
  they're
• 12:46
  loved,
• 12:47
  they,
• 12:47
  they're
• 12:47
  respected,
• 12:48
  they
• 12:48
  feel
• 12:48
  heard,
• 12:50
  they
• 12:50
  know
• 12:51
  that
• 12:51
  they
• 12:51
  matter.
• 12:53
  They
• 12:53
  will
• 12:54
  come
• 12:54
  to
• 12:54
  school.
• 12:55
  Thus
• 12:56
  chronic
• 12:56
  absenteeism,
• 12:58
  right?
• 12:59
  Latenesses.
• 13:00
  They
• 13:00
  want
• 13:00
  to
• 13:00
  run
• 13:01
  there,
• 13:01
  even
• 13:02
  if
• 13:02
  they're
• 13:02
  feeling
• 13:04
  not
• 13:04
  too
• 13:05
  great
• 13:05
  that
• 13:05
  day,
• 13:06
  they're
• 13:06
  going
• 13:06
  to
• 13:06
  fight
• 13:07
  to
• 13:07
  get
• 13:07
  to
• 13:07
  school
• 13:07
  because
• 13:08
  they
• 13:08
  want
• 13:08
  to
• 13:08
  be
• 13:08
  there,
• 13:09
  because
• 13:09
  that's
• 13:10
  a
• 13:10
  place
• 13:10
  where
• 13:10
  they
• 13:11
  will
• 13:11
  eat,
• 13:12
  they
• 13:12
  will
• 13:13
  feel
• 13:13
  warm
• 13:13
  and
• 13:14
  fuzzy,
• 13:15
  right?
• 13:15
  All
• 13:16
  of
• 13:16
  those
• 13:17
  bottom
• 13:17
  tier
• 13:18
  needs,
• 13:19
  the
• 13:19
  physiological
• 13:20
  needs
• 13:20
  that
• 13:21
  are
• 13:21
  featured
• 13:21
  on
• 13:21
  Maslow's
• 13:22
  Hierarchy
• 13:23
  will
• 13:23
  be
• 13:24
  met.
• 13:24
  We
• 13:25
  can't
• 13:25
  get
• 13:25
  them
• 13:26
  to
• 13:26
  self
• 13:26
  author
• 13:27
  or
• 13:27
  self
• 13:27
  actualize,
• 13:28
  which
• 13:28
  is
• 13:28
  at
• 13:28
  the
• 13:29
  top
• 13:29
  of.
• 13:29
  Of
• 13:29
  the
• 13:30
  pyramid,
• 13:30
  right.
• 13:31
  Where
• 13:31
  they
• 13:32
  are
• 13:32
  actually
• 13:32
  feeling
• 13:33
  challenged
• 13:34
  in
• 13:34
  a
• 13:34
  rigorous
• 13:35
  environment.
• 13:35
  Sound
• 13:36
  familiar?
• 13:37
  Okay.
• 13:38
  Until
• 13:39
  we
• 13:39
  meet
• 13:39
  all
• 13:40
  of
• 13:40
  those
• 13:40
  other
• 13:40
  needs.
• 13:41
  Because
• 13:41
  all
• 13:41
  the
• 13:42
  other
• 13:42
  needs
• 13:43
  are
• 13:43
  your
• 13:43
  basic
• 13:44
  human
• 13:44
  needs.
• 13:45
  So
• 13:45
  the
• 13:45
  basic
• 13:46
  human
• 13:46
  needs
• 13:47
  are
• 13:47
  not
• 13:48
  being
• 13:48
  met
• 13:49
  in
• 13:49
  the.
• 13:50
  Here
• 13:50
  I
• 13:50
  go,
• 13:51
  Jim.
• 13:51
  In
• 13:52
  the
• 13:52
  system.
• 13:53
  You
• 13:54
  know,
• 13:54
  you
• 13:54
  say
• 13:54
  that
• 13:55
  tracking
• 13:55
  is.
• 13:56
  Is.
• 13:56
  Is.
• 13:57
  It's
• 13:57
  not
• 13:57
  alive
• 13:58
  and
• 13:58
  well.
• 13:58
  Yeah,
• 13:58
  it
• 13:58
  is.
• 13:59
  We
• 13:59
  call
• 13:59
  it
• 14:00
  tiered.
• 14:00
  We
• 14:00
  call
• 14:00
  you
• 14:01
  tier
• 14:01
  one.
• 14:01
  Tier
• 14:02
  two.
• 14:02
  One.
• 14:02
  Absolutely.
• 14:03
  So
• 14:04
  we
• 14:04
  just
• 14:05
  giving
• 14:05
  it
• 14:05
  a
• 14:05
  different
• 14:06
  name,
• 14:08
  right?
• 14:08
  No,
• 14:09
  no
• 14:09
  Red
• 14:10
  robins
• 14:10
  or
• 14:10
  blue
• 14:10
  Jays
• 14:11
  now.
• 14:11
  So,
• 14:11
  you
• 14:12
  know,
• 14:12
  it's
• 14:13
  a
• 14:13
  fallacy,
• 14:13
  right?
• 14:14
  Because
• 14:15
  I
• 14:15
  could
• 14:15
  imagine,
• 14:16
  right.
• 14:18
  Who
• 14:18
  you
• 14:18
  see
• 14:19
  in
• 14:19
  the
• 14:19
  student
• 14:19
  demographic
• 14:20
  and
• 14:20
  the
• 14:21
  student
• 14:21
  population
• 14:22
  of
• 14:22
  the
• 14:22
  vocab
• 14:23
  of
• 14:23
  the.
• 14:24
  Either
• 14:24
  the
• 14:25
  alternative
• 14:26
  high
• 14:26
  school
• 14:26
  or
• 14:27
  the
• 14:27
  vocational
• 14:28
  high
• 14:28
  school
• 14:28
  or.
• 14:29
  And
• 14:29
  who's.
• 14:30
  And
• 14:30
  who
• 14:31
  sits
• 14:31
  within
• 14:32
  the
• 14:32
  IB
• 14:33
  AP
• 14:34
  area.
• 14:35
  Okay,
• 14:36
  it.
• 14:36
  It's
• 14:37
  for
• 14:37
  real,
• 14:37
  right?
• 14:38
  I
• 14:38
  don't,
• 14:39
  I
• 14:39
  don't
• 14:39
  have
• 14:39
  to
• 14:39
  venture
• 14:40
  to
• 14:40
  guess.
• 14:40
  This
• 14:41
  is
• 14:41
  not
• 14:41
  a
• 14:41
  hypothesis.
• 14:42
  It's
• 14:43
  in
• 14:43
  the
• 14:43
  data.
• 14:44
  All
• 14:44
  I'm
• 14:45
  saying
• 14:45
  is,
• 14:46
  is
• 14:46
  what
• 14:46
  was
• 14:46
  said
• 14:47
  to
• 14:47
  one
• 14:47
  child
• 14:48
  or
• 14:48
  what
• 14:48
  was
• 14:48
  the
• 14:49
  environment
• 14:49
  of
• 14:49
  one
• 14:50
  child
• 14:50
  and
• 14:50
  in
• 14:51
  comparison
• 14:51
  to
• 14:51
  the
• 14:52
  other
• 14:52
  child,
• 14:52
  and
• 14:53
  what
• 14:53
  teacher
• 14:53
  biases
• 14:54
  and
• 14:54
  perceptions
• 14:55
  were
• 14:55
  brought
• 14:56
  into
• 14:56
  the
• 14:56
  space,
• 14:57
  which
• 14:58
  further
• 14:58
  marginalized
• 14:59
  some
• 15:00
  and
• 15:00
  then
• 15:01
  made
• 15:01
  some
• 15:02
  feel
• 15:02
  that
• 15:02
  they
• 15:02
  were
• 15:03
  part
• 15:03
  of
• 15:03
  the
• 15:04
  whole,
• 15:04
  which
• 15:04
  were
• 15:05
  the
• 15:05
  chosen
• 15:05
  few.
• 15:06
  I
• 15:07
  mean,
• 15:07
  this
• 15:07
  is
• 15:07
  a
• 15:08
  space
• 15:08
  to
• 15:08
  have
• 15:08
  that
• 15:09
  conversation.
• 15:10
  All
• 15:10
  right.
• 15:11
  Because
• 15:11
  it
• 15:11
  is
• 15:12
  our
• 15:12
  moral
• 15:12
  obligation
• 15:14
  as
• 15:14
  educators
• 15:15
  to
• 15:15
  do
• 15:15
  what
• 15:16
  is
• 15:16
  best
• 15:16
  for
• 15:17
  each
• 15:17
  and
• 15:18
  every
• 15:18
  child
• 15:19
  as
• 15:19
  we
• 15:19
  amplify
• 15:20
  student
• 15:21
  need
• 15:21
  and
• 15:21
  student
• 15:22
  voices.
• 15:23
  And
• 15:23
  so
• 15:24
  that
• 15:24
  brings
• 15:24
  us
• 15:24
  to
• 15:24
  my
• 15:25
  final
• 15:25
  question
• 15:25
  of
• 15:26
  this
• 15:26
  entire
• 15:27
  season,
• 15:28
  right?
• 15:28
  This
• 15:29
  whole
• 15:29
  season
• 15:30
  has
• 15:30
  been
• 15:30
  around
• 15:31
  cultivating
• 15:32
  hope
• 15:33
  or
• 15:33
  killing
• 15:34
  dreams.
• 15:34
  And
• 15:34
  that
• 15:35
  it
• 15:35
  is,
• 15:35
  that
• 15:35
  is
• 15:35
  that
• 15:36
  harsh
• 15:36
  reality
• 15:37
  that
• 15:37
  there
• 15:37
  are
• 15:37
  only
• 15:38
  two
• 15:38
  choices,
• 15:39
  right?
• 15:39
  We
• 15:40
  are
• 15:40
  either
• 15:40
  doing
• 15:41
  things
• 15:42
  for
• 15:42
  children,
• 15:43
  each
• 15:43
  child,
• 15:44
  right.
• 15:44
  That
• 15:44
  cultivates
• 15:45
  hope,
• 15:45
  or
• 15:45
  that
• 15:46
  kills
• 15:46
  dreams.
• 15:47
  So
• 15:47
  I'm
• 15:47
  going
• 15:47
  to,
• 15:48
  I'm
• 15:48
  going
• 15:48
  to
• 15:48
  ask
• 15:48
  each
• 15:48
  of
• 15:49
  you
• 15:49
  to
• 15:49
  respond
• 15:50
  to
• 15:50
  this
• 15:50
  final
• 15:51
  question
• 15:51
  and
• 15:51
  then
• 15:51
  we'll
• 15:52
  throw
• 15:52
  it
• 15:52
  out
• 15:52
  there
• 15:52
  for
• 15:52
  conversation.
• 15:53
  But
• 15:53
  I
• 15:53
  think
• 15:54
  this
• 15:54
  is
• 15:54
  a
• 15:54
  great
• 15:54
  way
• 15:55
  to
• 15:55
  wrap
• 15:56
  up
• 15:56
  season
• 15:57
  nine
• 15:58
  from
• 15:58
  your
• 15:58
  lens
• 15:59
  and
• 16:00
  from
• 16:00
  your
• 16:00
  areas
• 16:01
  of
• 16:01
  expertise,
• 16:02
  what
• 16:03
  does
• 16:03
  it
• 16:03
  mean?
• 16:04
  And
• 16:05
  what
• 16:05
  do
• 16:05
  we
• 16:05
  want
• 16:05
  educators
• 16:06
  to
• 16:06
  remember
• 16:08
  about
• 16:08
  this
• 16:09
  theme?
• 16:09
  Right?
• 16:10
  Cultivating
• 16:11
  hope
• 16:13
  or
• 16:13
  killing
• 16:13
  dreams.
• 16:15
  Jim?
• 16:16
  So
• 16:17
  I
• 16:18
  spent
• 16:19
  a
• 16:19
  lot
• 16:19
  of
• 16:19
  time
• 16:19
  thinking
• 16:19
  about
• 16:20
  this
• 16:20
  last
• 16:20
  night,
• 16:21
  and
• 16:21
  I
• 16:21
  don't
• 16:22
  do
• 16:23
  a
• 16:24
  lot
• 16:24
  of
• 16:24
  direct
• 16:25
  work
• 16:25
  with
• 16:25
  students
• 16:26
  anymore.
• 16:27
  And
• 16:28
  so
• 16:28
  for
• 16:28
  me,
• 16:28
  from
• 16:29
  my
• 16:29
  lens,
• 16:29
  my
• 16:30
  area
• 16:30
  of
• 16:30
  expertise,
• 16:32
  I
• 16:32
  have
• 16:33
  to
• 16:33
  empower
• 16:33
  my
• 16:34
  staff
• 16:34
  members
• 16:35
  who
• 16:35
  have
• 16:36
  much
• 16:36
  more
• 16:36
  of
• 16:37
  that
• 16:37
  direct
• 16:38
  connection.
• 16:38
  And
• 16:39
  we
• 16:39
  had
• 16:39
  we've
• 16:39
  been
• 16:40
  talking
• 16:40
  about
• 16:40
  that,
• 16:40
  right?
• 16:42
  Being
• 16:42
  the
• 16:43
  person
• 16:44
  who,
• 16:46
  as
• 16:46
  an
• 16:47
  administrator,
• 16:48
  I
• 16:48
  have
• 16:49
  some
• 16:50
  power,
• 16:51
  I
• 16:51
  have
• 16:51
  a
• 16:52
  lot
• 16:52
  of
• 16:52
  privilege,
• 16:54
  and
• 16:54
  am
• 16:54
  I
• 16:55
  using
• 16:55
  that
• 16:56
  to
• 16:57
  disrupt
• 16:57
  from
• 16:58
  a
• 16:58
  place
• 16:58
  of
• 16:58
  my
• 16:58
  own
• 16:59
  safety,
• 17:00
  Right.
• 17:00
  It
• 17:00
  is
• 17:00
  much,
• 17:01
  much
• 17:01
  safer
• 17:02
  for
• 17:02
  me
• 17:02
  to
• 17:03
  lead
• 17:03
  that
• 17:05
  as
• 17:05
  an
• 17:05
  administrator.
• 17:06
  Now,
• 17:07
  I
• 17:07
  don't
• 17:07
  always
• 17:07
  do
• 17:08
  that,
• 17:08
  but
• 17:09
  that's,
• 17:09
  that's
• 17:10
  what
• 17:10
  I've
• 17:10
  been
• 17:10
  thinking
• 17:11
  about
• 17:11
  is
• 17:11
  how
• 17:11
  do
• 17:12
  I
• 17:13
  model
• 17:13
  that
• 17:14
  for
• 17:14
  my
• 17:14
  staff?
• 17:16
  When
• 17:16
  my
• 17:16
  staff
• 17:17
  step
• 17:18
  outside
• 17:18
  the
• 17:19
  lines,
• 17:19
  when
• 17:19
  they
• 17:20
  disrupt,
• 17:20
  am
• 17:21
  I
• 17:21
  encouraging
• 17:21
  that
• 17:23
  or
• 17:23
  am
• 17:24
  I
• 17:24
  putting
• 17:24
  the
• 17:25
  kibosh
• 17:25
  on
• 17:25
  that?
• 17:26
  Because
• 17:27
  if
• 17:27
  they
• 17:27
  can't
• 17:29
  with
• 17:29
  me,
• 17:31
  then
• 17:32
  they
• 17:32
  can't
• 17:32
  with
• 17:33
  their
• 17:33
  students.
• 17:34
  And
• 17:34
  so
• 17:36
  that's
• 17:36
  really
• 17:37
  just
• 17:37
  what's
• 17:37
  been
• 17:37
  resonating
• 17:38
  with
• 17:38
  me,
• 17:38
  is
• 17:39
  how
• 17:39
  do
• 17:39
  I
• 17:41
  be
• 17:42
  flexible?
• 17:43
  Model
• 17:44
  rule
• 17:44
  breaking,
• 17:45
  model
• 17:45
  disruption
• 17:47
  from
• 17:48
  what's
• 17:48
  expected
• 17:49
  from
• 17:49
  the
• 17:49
  norm
• 17:50
  for
• 17:51
  our
• 17:51
  educators
• 17:54
  so
• 17:54
  that
• 17:55
  when
• 17:55
  they
• 17:55
  take
• 17:56
  risks,
• 17:57
  are
• 17:57
  they
• 17:58
  punished
• 17:59
  or
• 17:59
  are
• 18:00
  they
• 18:01
  shown
• 18:01
  that
• 18:02
  they
• 18:02
  can
• 18:02
  dream?
• 18:03
  Because
• 18:03
  if
• 18:04
  they
• 18:04
  can't,
• 18:04
  their
• 18:04
  kids
• 18:05
  can't
• 18:06
  or
• 18:06
  won't,
• 18:06
  won't
• 18:07
  know
• 18:07
  that
• 18:07
  they
• 18:07
  can
• 18:08
  in
• 18:08
  this
• 18:09
  context.
• 18:09
  So
• 18:10
  that,
• 18:10
  that
• 18:11
  is
• 18:12
  what
• 18:12
  has
• 18:12
  been
• 18:12
  really
• 18:13
  resonating
• 18:13
  with
• 18:13
  me
• 18:14
  from
• 18:14
  this
• 18:14
  conversation.
• 18:15
  And
• 18:15
  I
• 18:15
  spent
• 18:16
  quite
• 18:16
  a
• 18:16
  bit
• 18:16
  of
• 18:16
  time
• 18:17
  just
• 18:17
  pondering
• 18:17
  this
• 18:18
  last
• 18:18
  night
• 18:18
  and
• 18:19
  was
• 18:20
  coming
• 18:20
  up
• 18:20
  feeling
• 18:21
  a
• 18:21
  little
• 18:21
  short,
• 18:21
  like,
• 18:22
  what,
• 18:22
  what
• 18:23
  do
• 18:23
  I
• 18:23
  say?
• 18:24
  But
• 18:24
  it
• 18:24
  really
• 18:24
  is,
• 18:25
  it's
• 18:25
  about
• 18:25
  the
• 18:25
  people.
• 18:26
  Thank
• 18:27
  you,
• 18:27
  Ruben.
• 18:28
  Cultivating
• 18:28
  hope
• 18:28
  or
• 18:29
  killing
• 18:29
  dreams.
• 18:29
  What
• 18:29
  do
• 18:30
  we
• 18:30
  need
• 18:30
  to
• 18:30
  remember
• 18:30
  from
• 18:31
  your
• 18:31
  lens?
• 18:33
  Definitely
• 18:34
  cultivating
• 18:35
  hope.
• 18:35
  And
• 18:36
  I,
• 18:36
  I,
• 18:37
  I've
• 18:37
  always
• 18:37
  done
• 18:38
  this
• 18:38
  since
• 18:39
  day
• 18:39
  one.
• 18:40
  I
• 18:41
  guess
• 18:41
  it
• 18:41
  was
• 18:42
  ingrained
• 18:43
  in
• 18:43
  me
• 18:43
  through
• 18:44
  my
• 18:44
  education.
• 18:45
  Having
• 18:46
  graduated
• 18:47
  from
• 18:47
  hbcu,
• 18:47
  we
• 18:48
  were
• 18:48
  always
• 18:48
  taught
• 18:51
  to
• 18:51
  really
• 18:51
  empower
• 18:52
  students.
• 18:53
  And
• 18:53
  I
• 18:54
  think
• 18:54
  it's
• 18:54
  important
• 18:54
  for
• 18:55
  the
• 18:55
  students
• 18:56
  to
• 18:56
  know
• 18:56
  the
• 18:56
  various
• 18:57
  possibilities.
• 18:58
  I
• 18:59
  remember
• 18:59
  my
• 19:00
  earlier
• 19:00
  days
• 19:00
  when
• 19:01
  we
• 19:01
  talk
• 19:01
  with
• 19:01
  students
• 19:02
  in
• 19:02
  terms
• 19:02
  of
• 19:03
  what
• 19:03
  are
• 19:03
  they
• 19:03
  going
• 19:03
  to
• 19:03
  do
• 19:03
  post
• 19:04
  high
• 19:04
  school.
• 19:05
  And
• 19:05
  many
• 19:06
  of
• 19:06
  them,
• 19:06
  and
• 19:06
  I
• 19:06
  hear
• 19:06
  the
• 19:06
  same
• 19:07
  story
• 19:07
  today,
• 19:08
  I
• 19:08
  never
• 19:09
  really
• 19:09
  thought
• 19:09
  about
• 19:09
  it.
• 19:10
  And
• 19:10
  so
• 19:11
  when
• 19:11
  you
• 19:11
  try
• 19:12
  to
• 19:12
  plant
• 19:12
  that
• 19:12
  seed
• 19:12
  about
• 19:13
  the
• 19:13
  various
• 19:13
  possibilities
• 19:15
  and
• 19:15
  also
• 19:16
  having
• 19:16
  the
• 19:16
  opportunity
• 19:17
  to
• 19:18
  listen,
• 19:19
  I
• 19:19
  think
• 19:19
  listening
• 19:19
  is
• 19:20
  very
• 19:20
  important.
• 19:21
  And
• 19:22
  as
• 19:22
  I
• 19:22
  mentioned
• 19:23
  before
• 19:23
  about
• 19:23
  communicative
• 19:24
  action,
• 19:24
  you
• 19:25
  learn
• 19:25
  from
• 19:25
  each
• 19:25
  other.
• 19:25
  You
• 19:26
  can't
• 19:26
  learn
• 19:26
  by
• 19:27
  talking,
• 19:27
  but
• 19:28
  you
• 19:28
  can
• 19:28
  learn
• 19:28
  from
• 19:28
  listening.
• 19:30
  And
• 19:30
  I
• 19:30
  think
• 19:31
  that
• 19:31
  by
• 19:32
  listening
• 19:33
  and
• 19:33
  sharing
• 19:34
  the
• 19:34
  various
• 19:34
  possibilities,
• 19:35
  it
• 19:35
  provides
• 19:36
  a
• 19:37
  sense
• 19:37
  of
• 19:37
  hope.
• 19:38
  It
• 19:38
  also
• 19:39
  makes
• 19:40
  the
• 19:40
  students
• 19:41
  feel
• 19:41
  more
• 19:42
  human.
• 19:43
  You're
• 19:43
  humanizing
• 19:43
  them
• 19:44
  because
• 19:45
  now
• 19:45
  that
• 19:45
  they
• 19:46
  see
• 19:46
  that
• 19:46
  somebody
• 19:47
  is
• 19:47
  listening
• 19:47
  to
• 19:48
  them,
• 19:48
  somebody's
• 19:49
  not
• 19:50
  characterizing
• 19:51
  them
• 19:51
  in
• 19:52
  a
• 19:52
  certain
• 19:52
  way,
• 19:52
  but
• 19:53
  it
• 19:53
  gives
• 19:53
  them
• 19:53
  opportunity
• 19:54
  for
• 19:54
  hope.
• 19:55
  And
• 19:55
  when
• 19:55
  you
• 19:55
  start
• 19:56
  giving,
• 19:56
  sharing
• 19:57
  them
• 19:57
  various
• 19:57
  possibilities,
• 19:59
  even
• 19:59
  providing
• 20:00
  them
• 20:00
  with
• 20:00
  different
• 20:01
  resources
• 20:03
  to
• 20:03
  help
• 20:04
  them
• 20:04
  empower
• 20:04
  them,
• 20:05
  because
• 20:06
  I
• 20:06
  Think
• 20:06
  all
• 20:07
  too
• 20:07
  often
• 20:07
  they've
• 20:07
  been
• 20:07
  told
• 20:08
  no,
• 20:09
  and
• 20:10
  we've
• 20:10
  gotten
• 20:10
  away
• 20:10
  from
• 20:11
  this
• 20:11
  thing.
• 20:12
  I
• 20:12
  guess
• 20:12
  it
• 20:12
  was
• 20:13
  thinking
• 20:13
  outside
• 20:13
  the
• 20:14
  box.
• 20:14
  Now
• 20:15
  it's
• 20:15
  all
• 20:15
  about
• 20:16
  providing
• 20:17
  ways
• 20:17
  and
• 20:17
  solutions.
• 20:18
  But
• 20:18
  I
• 20:18
  think
• 20:18
  it's
• 20:19
  important
• 20:21
  to
• 20:21
  empower
• 20:22
  our
• 20:23
  young,
• 20:23
  our
• 20:23
  students,
• 20:24
  and
• 20:24
  also
• 20:25
  the
• 20:25
  people
• 20:26
  that
• 20:26
  we
• 20:26
  work
• 20:26
  with,
• 20:27
  because
• 20:27
  sometimes
• 20:28
  when
• 20:29
  they
• 20:29
  watch
• 20:29
  your
• 20:29
  actions,
• 20:30
  sometimes
• 20:31
  they
• 20:31
  can
• 20:31
  learn
• 20:31
  from
• 20:32
  your
• 20:32
  actions
• 20:32
  as
• 20:32
  well.
• 20:34
  Thank
• 20:34
  you,
• 20:35
  Shavita.
• 20:36
  Cultivating
• 20:37
  hope
• 20:37
  or
• 20:37
  killing
• 20:38
  dreams.
• 20:38
  What
• 20:38
  do
• 20:38
  we
• 20:38
  need
• 20:38
  to
• 20:39
  remember,
• 20:39
  my
• 20:39
  friend?
• 20:40
  I
• 20:40
  think
• 20:41
  we
• 20:41
  need
• 20:41
  to
• 20:41
  remember.
• 20:44
  One
• 20:44
  that
• 20:45
  empathy
• 20:45
  and
• 20:45
  compassion
• 20:46
  are
• 20:47
  not
• 20:47
  just
• 20:47
  words,
• 20:48
  that
• 20:48
  they
• 20:49
  truly
• 20:49
  need
• 20:49
  to
• 20:49
  be
• 20:50
  a
• 20:50
  core
• 20:50
  component
• 20:50
  of
• 20:51
  our
• 20:51
  practice
• 20:52
  as
• 20:52
  educators.
• 20:53
  If
• 20:53
  we're
• 20:54
  going
• 20:54
  to
• 20:54
  cultivate
• 20:55
  hope,
• 20:55
  we
• 20:56
  have
• 20:56
  to
• 20:56
  be
• 20:56
  able
• 20:57
  to
• 20:57
  see
• 20:57
  our
• 20:58
  students
• 20:59
  beyond
• 20:59
  just
• 20:59
  who
• 21:00
  are.
• 21:00
  Who's
• 21:01
  sitting
• 21:01
  in
• 21:01
  the
• 21:02
  seat,
• 21:02
  meaning
• 21:03
  that
• 21:03
  who
• 21:04
  they
• 21:04
  show
• 21:04
  up
• 21:04
  as.
• 21:05
  There's
• 21:05
  something
• 21:06
  so
• 21:06
  much
• 21:06
  deeper
• 21:06
  there
• 21:07
  that
• 21:07
  they
• 21:08
  do
• 21:08
  bring
• 21:08
  their
• 21:08
  hopes
• 21:09
  and
• 21:09
  their
• 21:10
  dreams
• 21:10
  to
• 21:10
  those
• 21:11
  classrooms
• 21:11
  every
• 21:11
  day,
• 21:12
  and
• 21:12
  they
• 21:12
  put
• 21:12
  them
• 21:13
  in
• 21:13
  the
• 21:13
  hands
• 21:14
  of
• 21:14
  educators
• 21:15
  who
• 21:15
  have
• 21:16
  a,
• 21:16
  as
• 21:17
  Alicia
• 21:18
  said,
• 21:18
  a
• 21:18
  moral
• 21:19
  responsibility
• 21:20
  to
• 21:21
  cultivate
• 21:21
  that
• 21:22
  into
• 21:23
  everything
• 21:25
  that
• 21:25
  those
• 21:25
  students
• 21:26
  can
• 21:26
  become.
• 21:27
  I
• 21:28
  feel
• 21:28
  like
• 21:30
  when
• 21:30
  we
• 21:30
  are
• 21:30
  talking
• 21:31
  about
• 21:32
  this
• 21:32
  piece
• 21:32
  of
• 21:33
  humanizing
• 21:35
  what
• 21:36
  that
• 21:36
  looks
• 21:36
  like
• 21:36
  in
• 21:37
  the
• 21:37
  classroom,
• 21:38
  and
• 21:38
  I
• 21:38
  think
• 21:39
  even
• 21:39
  in
• 21:39
  our
• 21:39
  greater
• 21:40
  society,
• 21:40
  what's
• 21:41
  missing
• 21:41
  is
• 21:41
  that
• 21:42
  level
• 21:42
  of
• 21:43
  empathy
• 21:43
  and
• 21:44
  compassion
• 21:44
  that
• 21:44
  we
• 21:45
  have
• 21:45
  for
• 21:46
  each
• 21:46
  other.
• 21:46
  That
• 21:46
  seems
• 21:47
  to
• 21:47
  be
• 21:47
  something
• 21:48
  that
• 21:48
  is
• 21:48
  waning
• 21:49
  more
• 21:50
  each
• 21:50
  day.
• 21:51
  Education
• 21:52
  is
• 21:52
  more
• 21:52
  than
• 21:52
  a
• 21:53
  job.
• 21:54
  It
• 21:54
  really
• 21:54
  is
• 21:54
  a
• 21:55
  true
• 21:55
  mission,
• 21:56
  and
• 21:56
  it
• 21:56
  has
• 21:57
  to
• 21:57
  be
• 21:57
  truly
• 21:58
  a
• 21:58
  passion
• 21:59
  for
• 21:59
  us
• 21:59
  to
• 22:00
  tap
• 22:00
  into
• 22:00
  that
• 22:01
  so
• 22:01
  that
• 22:01
  we
• 22:01
  can
• 22:01
  inspire
• 22:02
  students
• 22:03
  to
• 22:03
  be
• 22:03
  everything
• 22:03
  that
• 22:04
  they're
• 22:04
  supposed
• 22:04
  to
• 22:04
  be
• 22:05
  or
• 22:05
  that
• 22:05
  they
• 22:05
  want
• 22:06
  to
• 22:06
  be.
• 22:06
  KATHY
• 22:07
  Cultivating
• 22:08
  hope
• 22:08
  or
• 22:09
  killing
• 22:09
  dreams.
• 22:10
  What
• 22:10
  do
• 22:10
  you
• 22:10
  think
• 22:10
  we
• 22:10
  need
• 22:11
  to
• 22:11
  remember?
• 22:12
  I
• 22:12
  think
• 22:13
  that
• 22:15
  our
• 22:15
  sphere
• 22:16
  of
• 22:16
  influence
• 22:17
  in
• 22:17
  every
• 22:17
  space
• 22:18
  that
• 22:18
  we
• 22:19
  inhabit
• 22:20
  is
• 22:21
  vital.
• 22:21
  So.
• 22:22
  So
• 22:22
  how
• 22:22
  we
• 22:23
  show
• 22:23
  up,
• 22:24
  how
• 22:24
  we
• 22:24
  interact
• 22:26
  with
• 22:27
  everyone
• 22:28
  within
• 22:28
  the
• 22:29
  spaces
• 22:29
  in
• 22:29
  which
• 22:30
  we
• 22:30
  are,
• 22:30
  is
• 22:31
  vital.
• 22:32
  So
• 22:32
  hearing
• 22:33
  all
• 22:33
  of
• 22:33
  these
• 22:34
  different
• 22:35
  perspectives,
• 22:36
  but
• 22:36
  yet
• 22:37
  very
• 22:37
  similar,
• 22:38
  and
• 22:38
  understanding
• 22:39
  that
• 22:40
  it
• 22:40
  is
• 22:40
  about
• 22:41
  humans
• 22:43
  that
• 22:44
  as
• 22:44
  educators,
• 22:44
  we're
• 22:45
  entrusted
• 22:45
  with.
• 22:46
  And
• 22:46
  so
• 22:46
  what
• 22:47
  does
• 22:47
  it
• 22:47
  look
• 22:47
  like
• 22:47
  when
• 22:48
  we're,
• 22:49
  what
• 22:49
  we're
• 22:49
  saying,
• 22:49
  what
• 22:50
  we're
• 22:50
  doing,
• 22:51
  really
• 22:52
  the
• 22:52
  simplicity
• 22:53
  of
• 22:53
  that
• 22:54
  and
• 22:55
  knowing
• 22:55
  that
• 22:58
  everything
• 22:59
  we
• 22:59
  do
• 23:01
  sends
• 23:01
  a
• 23:01
  message
• 23:02
  and
• 23:02
  it's
• 23:02
  up
• 23:02
  to
• 23:03
  us,
• 23:04
  and

  what
• 23:04
  message
• 23:05
  it
• 23:05
  is
• 23:05
  that
• 23:06
  we're,
• 23:07
  we
• 23:08
  believe
• 23:08
  and
• 23:09
  we
• 23:09
  want.
• 23:09
  We

  want

  to

  Cultivating
• 23:14
  hope
• 23:15
  or
• 23:16
  killing
• 23:16
  dreams.
• 23:16
  What
• 23:17
  do
• 23:17
  we
• 23:17
  need
• 23:17
  to
• 23:17
  remember
• 23:18
  from
• 23:18
  your
• 23:18
  lens?
• 23:19
  Cultivating
• 23:20
  a
• 23:21
  durable
• 23:22
  curiosity
• 23:23
  when
• 23:23
  we're
• 23:24
  working
• 23:24
  with
• 23:25
  learners
• 23:26
  of
• 23:26
  every
• 23:26
  age.
• 23:28
  I
• 23:28
  had
• 23:29
  a
• 23:29
  conversation
• 23:29
  last
• 23:29
  week
• 23:30
  with
• 23:31
  one
• 23:31
  of
• 23:31
  the
• 23:32
  teachers
• 23:32
  that
• 23:32
  I
• 23:32
  supervise
• 23:35
  about
• 23:35
  her
• 23:36
  year
• 23:36
  and
• 23:37
  her
• 23:37
  classroom,
• 23:37
  and
• 23:38
  her
• 23:38
  work
• 23:38
  is
• 23:38
  in
• 23:38
  such
• 23:39
  an
• 23:39
  extraordinary
• 23:39
  place.
• 23:40
  Right
• 23:40
  now,
• 23:40
  it's
• 23:41
  an
• 23:41
  incredible
• 23:41
  joy
• 23:42
  to
• 23:42
  every
• 23:43
  visit.
• 23:44
  And
• 23:44
  I.
• 23:45
  I
• 23:45
  asked
• 23:46
  her
• 23:46
  to
• 23:46
  talk
• 23:46
  to
• 23:47
  me
• 23:47
  about
• 23:48
  how
• 23:48
  that
• 23:48
  happened
• 23:49
  from.
• 23:50
  From
• 23:50
  her
• 23:51
  chair,
• 23:51
  from
• 23:51
  her
• 23:52
  view
• 23:52
  and
• 23:52
  perspective.
• 23:53
  And
• 23:54
  she
• 23:55
  said
• 23:56
  her
• 23:56
  answer
• 23:57
  surprised
• 23:57
  me
• 23:57
  a
• 23:57
  bit.
• 23:59
  She
• 23:59
  remembered
• 23:59
  exactly
• 24:00
  the
• 24:00
  turning
• 24:01
  point
• 24:01
  in
• 24:01
  the
• 24:01
  year,
• 24:02
  and
• 24:03
  it
• 24:03
  was
• 24:03
  her
• 24:04
  lowest
• 24:04
  point.
• 24:05
  And
• 24:06
  it
• 24:07
  was
• 24:07
  a
• 24:07
  conversation
• 24:07
  she
• 24:08
  and
• 24:08
  I
• 24:08
  were
• 24:08
  having
• 24:09
  where
• 24:09
  she
• 24:09
  was
• 24:09
  telling
• 24:10
  me
• 24:10
  about
• 24:10
  two
• 24:10
  of
• 24:10
  her
• 24:11
  students.
• 24:13
  And
• 24:15
  these
• 24:15
  were
• 24:16
  kids
• 24:16
  who
• 24:16
  were
• 24:16
  refusing
• 24:17
  to
• 24:17
  speak
• 24:17
  English,
• 24:18
  who
• 24:18
  were
• 24:19
  disruptive,
• 24:19
  who
• 24:20
  were
• 24:20
  only
• 24:20
  talking
• 24:20
  to
• 24:21
  each
• 24:21
  other.
• 24:23
  And
• 24:23
  this,
• 24:24
  this
• 24:24
  newer
• 24:25
  teacher,
• 24:25
  she's
• 24:26
  a
• 24:26
  mom.
• 24:26
  She's
• 24:27
  a
• 24:27
  seasoned
• 24:28
  professional
• 24:29
  from
• 24:29
  a
• 24:30
  couple
• 24:30
  of
• 24:30
  different
• 24:30
  professions.
• 24:32
  She's
• 24:32
  really,
• 24:33
  really
• 24:34
  astute
• 24:34
  and
• 24:35
  talented.
• 24:36
  And
• 24:37
  she
• 24:37
  was
• 24:37
  being
• 24:37
  very
• 24:38
  vulnerable
• 24:38
  and
• 24:38
  honest
• 24:39
  with
• 24:39
  me
• 24:39
  about
• 24:39
  how
• 24:40
  I'm
• 24:40
  just
• 24:40
  not
• 24:40
  good
• 24:40
  with
• 24:41
  girls.
• 24:42
  And
• 24:42
  that
• 24:43
  was
• 24:43
  her
• 24:43
  comment.
• 24:44
  So
• 24:45
  I
• 24:45
  said,
• 24:47
  that's
• 24:47
  not
• 24:48
  something
• 24:48
  I've
• 24:49
  ever
• 24:49
  observed.
• 24:49
  I've
• 24:50
  found
• 24:50
  you
• 24:50
  highly
• 24:50
  effective
• 24:51
  with
• 24:51
  all
• 24:51
  your
• 24:51
  kids.
• 24:52
  What's
• 24:52
  going
• 24:52
  on
• 24:53
  here?
• 24:53
  Well,
• 24:53
  they
• 24:53
  just
• 24:54
  don't
• 24:54
  want
• 24:54
  to
• 24:54
  do
• 24:54
  well.
• 24:56
  And
• 24:57
  she
• 24:57
  said,
• 24:57
  what
• 24:57
  you
• 24:58
  told
• 24:58
  me,
• 24:58
  Mike,
• 24:58
  in
• 24:59
  that
• 24:59
  conversation
• 25:01
  was
• 25:01
  direct.
• 25:03
  You
• 25:03
  said
• 25:03
  that
• 25:04
  wasn't
• 25:04
  true
• 25:06
  and
• 25:07
  that
• 25:07
  there's
• 25:07
  no
• 25:07
  possible
• 25:08
  way
• 25:08
  I
• 25:08
  could
• 25:08
  know
• 25:09
  something
• 25:09
  like
• 25:09
  that
• 25:10
  to
• 25:10
  be
• 25:10
  true.
• 25:11
  That
• 25:11
  in
• 25:11
  fact,
• 25:12
  its
• 25:13
  opposite
• 25:14
  is
• 25:14
  more
• 25:14
  likely
• 25:14
  to
• 25:15
  be
• 25:15
  true.
• 25:15
  And
• 25:15
  I
• 25:15
  did.
• 25:16
  I
• 25:16
  said
• 25:16
  to
• 25:16
  her,
• 25:17
  I
• 25:17
  believe
• 25:17
  these
• 25:18
  girls
• 25:18
  really
• 25:19
  want
• 25:19
  to
• 25:19
  do
• 25:19
  well,
• 25:22
  but
• 25:22
  I
• 25:22
  don't
• 25:22
  think
• 25:23
  we
• 25:24
  know
• 25:24
  enough
• 25:24
  about
• 25:25
  them
• 25:25
  yet.
• 25:27
  So
• 25:27
  instead
• 25:27
  of
• 25:28
  blaming
• 25:28
  the
• 25:29
  lack
• 25:29
  of
• 25:29
  success
• 25:30
  and
• 25:31
  the
• 25:31
  failure
• 25:31
  you're
• 25:32
  experiencing
• 25:32
  or
• 25:33
  feeling
• 25:33
  right
• 25:33
  now
• 25:34
  on
• 25:34
  these
• 25:34
  kids,
• 25:35
  you're
• 25:36
  going
• 25:36
  to
• 25:36
  keep
• 25:36
  knocking
• 25:36
  on
• 25:37
  that
• 25:37
  door
• 25:38
  in
• 25:38
  the
• 25:38
  same
• 25:38
  way
• 25:39
  you
• 25:39
  knock
• 25:39
  on
• 25:39
  the
• 25:39
  door
• 25:40
  of
• 25:40
  every
• 25:40
  other
• 25:40
  student
• 25:41
  in
• 25:41
  that
• 25:41
  class.
• 25:45
  Alicia,
• 25:47
  it
• 25:47
  was
• 25:47
  your
• 25:48
  theme,
• 25:48
  right?
• 25:48
  It
• 25:48
  was
• 25:49
  you
• 25:49
  who
• 25:49
  coined
• 25:49
  the
• 25:50
  phrase.
• 25:51
  Cultivating
• 25:51
  hope
• 25:52
  or
• 25:52
  killing
• 25:52
  dreams.
• 25:52
  What
• 25:53
  do
• 25:53
  you
• 25:53
  want
• 25:53
  us
• 25:53
  to
• 25:53
  remember?
• 25:54
  So
• 25:55
  I
• 25:55
  wanted
• 25:55
  to
• 25:58
  implore
• 25:58
  all
• 25:59
  the
• 25:59
  listeners
• 26:00
  that
• 26:00
  it
• 26:00
  starts
• 26:01
  with
• 26:02
  looking
• 26:02
  at
• 26:02
  ourselves
• 26:05
  and
• 26:05
  really
• 26:05
  having
• 26:06
  that
• 26:06
  hardcore
• 26:08
  understanding
• 26:09
  of
• 26:09
  who
• 26:09
  we
• 26:09
  are
• 26:10
  and
• 26:10
  who
• 26:10
  we
• 26:10
  bring
• 26:11
  into
• 26:11
  the
• 26:11
  space.
• 26:13
  And
• 26:13
  with
• 26:13
  that
• 26:13
  said,
• 26:15
  when
• 26:15
  I
• 26:15
  think
• 26:15
  about
• 26:16
  cultivating
• 26:17
  hope
• 26:17
  or
• 26:17
  killing
• 26:18
  dreams,
• 26:19
  I
• 26:19
  always
• 26:19
  hearken
• 26:20
  back
• 26:20
  to
• 26:21
  my
• 26:21
  own
• 26:21
  personal
• 26:22
  philosophy
• 26:22
  of
• 26:23
  education.
• 26:25
  And
• 26:25
  my
• 26:25
  philosophy
• 26:26
  of
• 26:26
  education
• 26:27
  is
• 26:28
  based
• 26:28
  on
• 26:28
  my
• 26:28
  personal
• 26:29
  value
• 26:29
  and
• 26:30
  belief
• 26:30
  system.
• 26:32
  So
• 26:32
  based
• 26:32
  on
• 26:32
  that,
• 26:33
  there
• 26:33
  are
• 26:34
  pieces
• 26:35
  from
• 26:35
  my
• 26:35
  faith
• 26:36
  that
• 26:36
  I
• 26:36
  bring
• 26:36
  in,
• 26:37
  right?
• 26:38
  Something
• 26:38
  structures
• 26:39
  our
• 26:39
  morality,
• 26:41
  right?
• 26:41
  What
• 26:41
  is
• 26:42
  that?
• 26:42
  So
• 26:42
  for
• 26:43
  me
• 26:44
  to
• 26:44
  thine
• 26:45
  own
• 26:45
  self
• 26:45
  be
• 26:45
  true,
• 26:46
  right?
• 26:47
  So
• 26:47
  are
• 26:48
  we
• 26:48
  bringing
• 26:48
  our
• 26:48
  true
• 26:49
  and
• 26:49
  authentic
• 26:49
  selves
• 26:50
  in
• 26:50
  the
• 26:50
  space?
• 26:50
  And
• 26:52
  if
• 26:52
  that
• 26:52
  is
• 26:52
  the
• 26:52
  case,
• 26:53
  what
• 26:53
  do
• 26:53
  we
• 26:54
  have
• 26:54
  to
• 26:54
  shift
• 26:54
  to
• 26:55
  come
• 26:55
  into
• 26:55
  community?
• 26:56
  I
• 26:57
  check
• 26:57
  myself
• 26:57
  all
• 26:58
  the
• 26:58
  time
• 26:58
  on
• 26:58
  that.
• 26:59
  To
• 27:00
  whom
• 27:00
  much
• 27:00
  is
• 27:00
  given,
• 27:01
  much
• 27:01
  is
• 27:01
  required.
• 27:03
  This
• 27:03
  is
• 27:04
  a
• 27:04
  calling,
• 27:05
  right?
• 27:06
  It's
• 27:06
  okay,
• 27:07
  Right?
• 27:08
  Education
• 27:09
  is
• 27:09
  not
• 27:09
  a
• 27:09
  Job.
• 27:12
  Right.
• 27:12
  We
• 27:13
  are
• 27:13
  impacting
• 27:14
  individual
• 27:15
  lives.
• 27:16
  Now.
• 27:17
  We
• 27:17
  don't
• 27:17
  get
• 27:17
  paid
• 27:17
  for
• 27:18
  it,
• 27:18
  and
• 27:18
  we
• 27:18
  don't
• 27:18
  come
• 27:19
  into
• 27:19
  it
• 27:19
  to
• 27:19
  get
• 27:20
  paid
• 27:20
  for
• 27:20
  it.
• 27:21
  We
• 27:21
  come
• 27:21
  into.
• 27:22
  And
• 27:22
  if
• 27:22
  you
• 27:22
  are,
• 27:23
  you
• 27:23
  know
• 27:23
  that,
• 27:24
  always
• 27:24
  tell
• 27:24
  my
• 27:25
  teachers
• 27:25
  and
• 27:25
  my
• 27:26
  teams,
• 27:26
  if
• 27:27
  you
• 27:27
  came
• 27:27
  into
• 27:27
  this
• 27:28
  profession
• 27:28
  for
• 27:28
  that,
• 27:29
  you.
• 27:30
  You
• 27:30
  might
• 27:30
  want
• 27:30
  to
• 27:31
  reconsider.
• 27:32
  Okay,
• 27:32
  but
• 27:35
  we're
• 27:35
  going
• 27:35
  to
• 27:35
  give
• 27:36
  and
• 27:36
  pour
• 27:36
  out.
• 27:37
  But
• 27:38
  it's
• 27:38
  reciprocal,
• 27:39
  right?
• 27:40
  So
• 27:40
  what
• 27:40
  are
• 27:40
  we
• 27:41
  giving
• 27:41
  out
• 27:41
  and
• 27:42
  what
• 27:42
  are
• 27:42
  we
• 27:42
  getting
• 27:43
  expecting
• 27:44
  to
• 27:44
  get?
• 27:44
  Because
• 27:45
  the
• 27:45
  learning
• 27:46
  is
• 27:46
  reciprocal.
• 27:47
  It's
• 27:47
  just
• 27:48
  not
• 27:48
  one
• 27:48
  way.
• 27:49
  Okay.
• 27:50
  It
• 27:50
  is
• 27:50
  a
• 27:51
  reciprocal
• 27:52
  and
• 27:52
  iterative
• 27:53
  process.
• 27:55
  And
• 27:55
  then
• 27:57
  my
• 27:58
  pastor
• 27:58
  always
• 27:59
  says,
• 27:59
  more
• 27:59
  is
• 27:59
  caught
• 28:00
  than
• 28:00
  taught.
• 28:02
  So
• 28:03
  how
• 28:03
  are
• 28:03
  we
• 28:03
  walking
• 28:04
  this
• 28:04
  thing
• 28:04
  out?
• 28:06
  How
• 28:06
  we
• 28:06
  walking
• 28:07
  that
• 28:07
  out
• 28:07
  for
• 28:07
  each
• 28:07
  other
• 28:08
  and
• 28:08
  how
• 28:08
  we
• 28:09
  walking
• 28:09
  this
• 28:09
  stuff
• 28:10
  out
• 28:11
  for
• 28:12
  our
• 28:12
  students?
• 28:13
  Because
• 28:14
  sometimes
• 28:15
  we're
• 28:15
  the
• 28:15
  only
• 28:15
  role
• 28:15
  models
• 28:16
  that
• 28:16
  they
• 28:16
  have
• 28:16
  present
• 28:17
  in
• 28:17
  their
• 28:17
  life.
• 28:18
  Sometimes
• 28:19
  the
• 28:19
  only
• 28:19
  way
• 28:19
  they
• 28:20
  learn
• 28:20
  how
• 28:20
  to
• 28:20
  love
• 28:20
  is
• 28:21
  through
• 28:21
  us.
• 28:22
  Just
• 28:22
  want
• 28:22
  you
• 28:23
  to
• 28:23
  think
• 28:23
  about
• 28:23
  that.
• 28:24
  And
• 28:24
  then
• 28:25
  as
• 28:25
  I
• 28:26
  deliver
• 28:26
  learning
• 28:27
  and
• 28:27
  coaching
• 28:28
  around
• 28:28
  the
• 28:28
  country
• 28:28
  and
• 28:29
  internationally,
• 28:31
  I
• 28:31
  challenge
• 28:31
  and
• 28:32
  charge
• 28:32
  educators
• 28:33
  in
• 28:33
  this
• 28:34
  area.
• 28:35
  Would
• 28:36
  your
• 28:36
  child
• 28:37
  want
• 28:37
  to
• 28:37
  sit
• 28:37
  in
• 28:38
  your
• 28:38
  classroom?
• 28:41
  Let
• 28:41
  me
• 28:41
  repeat
• 28:42
  that,
• 28:42
  because
• 28:43
  that's
• 28:43
  powerful.
• 28:44
  Would
• 28:45
  your
• 28:45
  child,
• 28:45
  your
• 28:46
  niece,
• 28:46
  your
• 28:46
  nephew,
• 28:47
  your
• 28:47
  grandchild,
• 28:50
  those
• 28:51
  whose
• 28:51
  lives
• 28:51
  you
• 28:52
  touch,
• 28:52
  your
• 28:52
  loved
• 28:53
  ones
• 28:53
  that
• 28:53
  are
• 28:53
  younger,
• 28:55
  would
• 28:55
  you
• 28:55
  want
• 28:56
  them
• 28:56
  to
• 28:56
  sit
• 28:56
  in
• 28:56
  your
• 28:57
  classroom?
• 29:00
  Are
• 29:00
  you
• 29:00
  conveying
• 29:02
  to
• 29:03
  every
• 29:03
  student
• 29:05
  as
• 29:05
  you
• 29:06
  would
• 29:06
  be
• 29:06
  conveying
• 29:08
  to
• 29:08
  a
• 29:08
  younger
• 29:09
  loved
• 29:09
  one
• 29:09
  in
• 29:10
  your
• 29:10
  own
• 29:10
  life,
• 29:10
  in
• 29:11
  your
• 29:11
  own
• 29:11
  family?
• 29:13
  And
• 29:13
  I've
• 29:14
  had
• 29:14
  many
• 29:15
  step
• 29:15
  up
• 29:15
  and
• 29:16
  say,
• 29:16
  Dr.
• 29:16
  Moreau,
• 29:17
  I
• 29:17
  have
• 29:17
  never
• 29:18
  been
• 29:18
  challenged
• 29:18
  like
• 29:19
  that.
• 29:20
  As
• 29:21
  an
• 29:21
  assistant
• 29:21
  superintendent,
• 29:22
  I
• 29:22
  had
• 29:23
  one
• 29:23
  teacher
• 29:24
  actually
• 29:24
  come
• 29:24
  and
• 29:25
  say,
• 29:25
  you
• 29:25
  know,
• 29:25
  Dr.
• 29:26
  Monroe,
• 29:26
  enough
• 29:27
  respect.
• 29:28
  But
• 29:28
  I
• 29:28
  think
• 29:29
  this
• 29:29
  is
• 29:29
  my
• 29:29
  last
• 29:30
  year
• 29:30
  here
• 29:31
  because
• 29:31
  I
• 29:31
  really
• 29:32
  sat
• 29:32
  on
• 29:32
  that
• 29:33
  question.
• 29:34
  So
• 29:34
  are
• 29:34
  we
• 29:35
  cultivating
• 29:35
  hope
• 29:36
  and
• 29:36
  killing
• 29:36
  dreams?
• 29:39
  It
• 29:39
  harkens
• 29:40
  right
• 29:40
  back
• 29:40
  to
• 29:41
  your
• 29:41
  own
• 29:41
  personal
• 29:42
  educational
• 29:42
  philosophy.
• 29:44
  And
• 29:45
  why
• 29:45
  are
• 29:45
  you
• 29:45
  sitting
• 29:46
  in
• 29:46
  the
• 29:46
  seat
• 29:46
  or
• 29:46
  standing
• 29:47
  in
• 29:47
  the
• 29:47
  educational
• 29:48
  spaces
• 29:49
  that
• 29:49
  we
• 29:50
  have
• 29:50
  actually
• 29:51
  empowered
• 29:52
  you
• 29:53
  to
• 29:53
  stand
• 29:53
  in?
• 29:56
  Our
• 29:56
  mystery
• 29:57
  guest
• 29:57
  has
• 29:57
  arrived.
• 29:58
  Matt
• 29:59
  Pinchonotta,
• 30:01
  are
• 30:01
  you
• 30:01
  there?
• 30:01
  Can
• 30:02
  we.
• 30:02
  Hello
• 30:02
  there,
• 30:03
  sir.
• 30:05
  Matt
• 30:05
  is
• 30:06
  an
• 30:06
  administrator
• 30:07
  for
• 30:07
  diversity,
• 30:08
  equity
• 30:08
  and
• 30:08
  inclusion
• 30:09
  in
• 30:09
  a
• 30:09
  statewide.
• 30:10
  Statewide
• 30:11
  organization
• 30:12
  somewhere
• 30:13
  in
• 30:13
  a
• 30:13
  community
• 30:13
  near
• 30:14
  you.
• 30:14
  Right,
• 30:16
  Matt,
• 30:16
  Welcome.
• 30:17
  Welcome
• 30:17
  to
• 30:17
  this
• 30:17
  space.
• 30:19
  Our
• 30:19
  final
• 30:20
  question
• 30:20
  today,
• 30:20
  and
• 30:20
  I
• 30:21
  think
• 30:21
  it's
• 30:21
  a
• 30:21
  really
• 30:21
  good
• 30:21
  one
• 30:22
  for
• 30:22
  you.
• 30:22
  I'm
• 30:23
  going
• 30:23
  to
• 30:23
  give
• 30:23
  you
• 30:23
  the
• 30:23
  last.
• 30:23
  Word
• 30:25
  for
• 30:25
  the
• 30:25
  entire
• 30:26
  season.
• 30:27
  Right?
• 30:27
  The
• 30:27
  entire
• 30:27
  season
• 30:28
  is
• 30:28
  now.
• 30:29
  Is
• 30:29
  now
• 30:30
  the
• 30:30
  Matt
• 30:30
  Pinchonotts
• 30:31
  show.
• 30:32
  Right?
• 30:33
  So
• 30:33
  as
• 30:33
  you
• 30:33
  think
• 30:33
  about
• 30:34
  all
• 30:34
  of
• 30:34
  your
• 30:34
  work,
• 30:34
  and
• 30:34
  you
• 30:35
  were
• 30:35
  the
• 30:35
  one.
• 30:35
  Who
• 30:35
  coined
• 30:35
  this
• 30:36
  beautiful
• 30:36
  definition
• 30:37
  of
• 30:37
  diversity,
• 30:38
  which
• 30:38
  is
• 30:39
  diversity
• 30:39
  is
• 30:40
  just
• 30:40
  something
• 30:40
  outside
• 30:42
  of
• 30:42
  yourself,
• 30:43
  which
• 30:44
  I
• 30:44
  thought
• 30:44
  was
• 30:45
  beautiful.
• 30:46
  And
• 30:47
  by
• 30:47
  the
• 30:47
  way,
• 30:48
  Matt's,
• 30:49
  episode
• 30:49
  drops
• 30:50
  on
• 30:50
  May
• 30:50
  6.
• 30:52
  But
• 30:52
  Matt,
• 30:52
  from
• 30:53
  your
• 30:53
  lens.
• 30:57
  What
• 30:57
  do.
• 30:57
  We
• 30:57
  want
• 30:57
  educators
• 30:58
  to
• 30:58
  remember
• 30:59
  about
• 31:00
  cultivating
• 31:01
  hope
• 31:02
  or
• 31:02
  killing
• 31:03
  dreams,
• 31:03
  Especially
• 31:04
  my
• 31:04
  friend
• 31:05
  in
• 31:05
  2025?
• 31:08
  Well,
• 31:09
  one
• 31:09
  first
• 31:10
  of
• 31:10
  all,
• 31:10
  I
• 31:10
  just
• 31:10
  want
• 31:10
  to
• 31:11
  apologize
• 31:12
  for
• 31:13
  showing
• 31:13
  up
• 31:13
  late
• 31:13
  today.
• 31:13
  Ended
• 31:14
  up
• 31:14
  being
• 31:15
  a
• 31:15
  busy
• 31:15
  morning,
• 31:15
  but
• 31:16
  I'm
• 31:16
  so
• 31:16
  thankful
• 31:17
  and
• 31:17
  grateful
• 31:18
  to
• 31:18
  be
• 31:18
  in
• 31:18
  the
• 31:18
  presence
• 31:19
  of
• 31:19
  such
• 31:20
  talented,
• 31:21
  creative
• 31:22
  and
• 31:23
  really
• 31:23
  pioneering
• 31:24
  educator.
• 31:24
  So
• 31:25
  thank
• 31:25
  you
• 31:25
  for
• 31:25
  allowing
• 31:25
  me
• 31:25
  to
• 31:25
  join
• 31:26
  your
• 31:26
  company.
• 31:27
  In
• 31:28
  regards
• 31:28
  to
• 31:29
  cultivating
• 31:29
  hope,
• 31:30
  I
• 31:30
  think
• 31:30
  that
• 31:31
  it
• 31:31
  goes
• 31:31
  back
• 31:32
  to
• 31:32
  the
• 31:32
  idea
• 31:32
  of
• 31:32
  a
• 31:33
  shared
• 31:33
  quest
• 31:33
  for
• 31:33
  humanity.
• 31:35
  That's
• 31:35
  really
• 31:35
  where
• 31:36
  it
• 31:36
  starts.
• 31:37
  If
• 31:37
  we
• 31:37
  can
• 31:37
  agree
• 31:38
  on
• 31:38
  that
• 31:38
  fundamental
• 31:39
  principle,
• 31:39
  the
• 31:39
  fundamental
• 31:40
  belief
• 31:41
  that
• 31:41
  everyone
• 31:42
  is
• 31:42
  created
• 31:43
  with
• 31:43
  inherent
• 31:44
  dignity.
• 31:44
  And
• 31:45
  I
• 31:45
  recognize
• 31:46
  fully
• 31:47
  that
• 31:47
  that's
• 31:47
  not
• 31:47
  a
• 31:48
  shared
• 31:48
  standpoint
• 31:48
  that
• 31:49
  exists
• 31:49
  universally
• 31:50
  throughout
• 31:50
  this
• 31:50
  country.
• 31:51
  And
• 31:51
  I
• 31:51
  think
• 31:52
  moving
• 31:52
  towards
• 31:53
  that
• 31:53
  basis,
• 31:54
  moving
• 31:54
  towards
• 31:56
  that
• 31:56
  fundamental
• 31:57
  truth
• 31:57
  is
• 31:57
  what
• 31:57
  allows
• 31:58
  us
• 31:58
  to
• 31:58
  now
• 31:58
  get
• 31:58
  to
• 31:59
  a
• 31:59
  spot
• 31:59
  of
• 31:59
  hope.
• 32:00
  Because
• 32:00
  once
• 32:01
  we
• 32:01
  have
• 32:01
  a
• 32:01
  society
• 32:02
  where
• 32:02
  dignity
• 32:02
  is
• 32:03
  no
• 32:03
  longer
• 32:03
  denied,
• 32:04
  once
• 32:04
  we
• 32:05
  have
• 32:05
  a
• 32:05
  society
• 32:05
  where
• 32:05
  humanity
• 32:06
  is
• 32:06
  no
• 32:06
  longer
• 32:07
  denied,
• 32:07
  now
• 32:08
  we
• 32:08
  can
• 32:08
  start
• 32:08
  to
• 32:09
  do
• 32:09
  that
• 32:10
  really
• 32:10
  important,
• 32:10
  the
• 32:11
  really
• 32:11
  challenging,
• 32:12
  the
• 32:12
  really
• 32:12
  integral
• 32:13
  work
• 32:13
  that
• 32:13
  was
• 32:14
  brought
• 32:14
  up
• 32:14
  even
• 32:14
  in
• 32:14
  the
• 32:14
  segments
• 32:15
  that
• 32:15
  I
• 32:15
  heard
• 32:15
  already
• 32:16
  of
• 32:16
  one.
• 32:17
  When
• 32:17
  you
• 32:17
  see
• 32:17
  folks
• 32:18
  as
• 32:18
  humans
• 32:18
  with
• 32:18
  hopes,

  aspirations
• 32:20
  of

  their

  own,
• 32:21
  it
• 32:21
  is
• 32:21
  impossible
• 32:22
  for
• 32:22
  us
• 32:22
  to
• 32:22
  deny
• 32:23
  folks
• 32:23
  the

  ability

  to

  leverage

  those

  and
• 32:25
  dreams
• 32:25
  into

  reality.
• 32:27
  And
• 32:27
  from
• 32:27
  there,
• 32:28
  when
• 32:28
  we
• 32:28
  are
• 32:28
  sitting
• 32:29
  at

  this

  spot

  in

  2025
• 32:30
  where
• 32:31
  education
• 32:32
  is
• 32:32
  under
• 32:32
  attack
• 32:33
  in
• 32:33
  so
• 32:33
  many
• 32:33
  different
• 32:33
  angles,
• 32:34
  it
• 32:34
  is
• 32:35
  now
• 32:35
  more
• 32:35
  than
• 32:35
  ever
• 32:35
  essential
• 32:36
  for
• 32:36
  educators
• 32:37
  one
• 32:37
  to
• 32:38
  be
• 32:38
  able
• 32:38
  to
• 32:38
  have
• 32:38
  communities
• 32:39
  with
• 32:39
  which
• 32:39
  they
• 32:39
  can
• 32:39
  restore
• 32:40
  themselves,
• 32:40
  communities
• 32:41
  with
• 32:41
  which
• 32:41
  they
• 32:42
  can
• 32:42
  lean
• 32:42
  back
• 32:42
  and
• 32:42
  know
• 32:43
  that
• 32:43
  no,
• 32:43
  I'm
• 32:44
  not
• 32:44
  alone.
• 32:44
  And
• 32:45
  no,
• 32:45
  it's
• 32:45
  not
• 32:45
  a
• 32:45
  crazy
• 32:46
  thought
• 32:46
  that
• 32:47
  I
• 32:47
  should
• 32:48
  care
• 32:48
  about
• 32:48
  my
• 32:49
  children.
• 32:49
  No,
• 32:49
  it's
• 32:49
  not
• 32:49
  a
• 32:49
  crazy
• 32:50
  thought
• 32:50
  that
• 32:51
  this
• 32:51
  child,
• 32:52
  simply
• 32:52
  because
• 32:53
  they
• 32:53
  exist
• 32:53
  as
• 32:53
  a
• 32:54
  human,
• 32:54
  has
• 32:55
  intrinsic
• 32:55
  worth
• 32:56
  that
• 32:56
  is
• 32:56
  not
• 32:56
  predicated
• 32:57
  on
• 32:57
  their
• 32:57
  test
• 32:57
  score
• 32:58
  results,
• 32:58
  that's
• 32:58
  not
• 32:58
  predicated
• 32:59
  on
• 32:59
  how
• 33:00
  they're
• 33:00
  performing.
• 33:00
  And
• 33:01
  whatever
• 33:02
  the
• 33:02
  assessment
• 33:02
  may
• 33:02
  be
• 33:03
  that
• 33:03
  it
• 33:03
  simply
• 33:04
  is
• 33:04
  because
• 33:04
  they're
• 33:04
  a
• 33:04
  child
• 33:04
  in
• 33:05
  our
• 33:05
  society,
• 33:06
  when

  we're

  able

  to

  get

  that's

  where

  we're

  now
• 33:10
  able

  to

  have

  our

  the

  that's

  many

• 33:21
  I'm

  not

  just

  talking,
• 33:22
  you

  know,
• 33:22
  K12,
• 33:23
  I'm

  the

  pantheon

  of

  community
• 33:25
  educators.
• 33:25
  If
• 33:26
  you
• 33:26
  are
• 33:26
  someone
• 33:26
  who
• 33:26
  has
• 33:26
  a

  community
• 33:27
  fridge
• 33:27
  that
• 33:27
  you've
• 33:28
  organized
• 33:29
  to
• 33:29
  make
• 33:29
  sure
• 33:29
  that
• 33:29
  the
• 33:29
  hunger
• 33:30
  and
• 33:30
  your
• 33:30
  community
• 33:30
  are
• 33:30
  fed,
• 33:31
  you
• 33:31
  are
• 33:31
  someone
• 33:31
  who
• 33:32
  is
• 33:32
  an
• 33:32
  artist
• 33:32
  in
• 33:33
  residence
• 33:33
  somewhere
• 33:34
  who's
• 33:34
  making
• 33:34
  sure
• 33:34
  that
• 33:35
  people
• 33:35
  don't
• 33:35
  forget
• 33:35
  the
• 33:35
  beauty
• 33:36
  that
• 33:36
  is
• 33:36
  inherent
• 33:36
  in
• 33:36
  everyday
• 33:37
  life.
• 33:37
  All
• 33:38
  of
• 33:38
  these
• 33:39
  types
• 33:39
  of
• 33:39
  education,
• 33:40
  this
• 33:40
  is
• 33:40
  where
• 33:41
  hope
• 33:41
  starts.
• 33:41
  And
• 33:42
  education
• 33:42
  is
• 33:42
  how
• 33:43
  hope
• 33:43
  thrives.
• 33:43
  The
• 33:44
  power
• 33:44
  ultimately
• 33:45
  does
• 33:45
  lie
• 33:45
  with
• 33:45
  every
• 33:45
  single
• 33:46
  one
• 33:46
  of
• 33:46
  us.
• 33:46
  And
• 33:47
  it's
• 33:47
  a
• 33:47
  calling
• 33:48
  that,
• 33:48
  just
• 33:49
  as
• 33:49
  Alicia
• 33:50
  mentioned,
• 33:50
  it's
• 33:50
  a
• 33:50
  calling.
• 33:51
  It's
• 33:51
  not
• 33:51
  a
• 33:51
  job,
• 33:51
  it's
• 33:52
  a
• 33:52
  calling.
• 33:52
  And
• 33:52
  it's
• 33:52
  something
• 33:53
  that
• 33:53
  we
• 33:53
  must
• 33:53
  take
• 33:53
  with
• 33:54
  pride.
• 33:54
  And
• 33:55
  we
• 33:55
  must
• 33:55
  be
• 33:55
  the
• 33:55
  banner
• 33:56
  carriers.
• 33:56
  Because
• 33:57
  at
• 33:57
  the
• 33:57
  end
• 33:57
  of
• 33:57
  the
• 33:57
  day,
• 33:57
  our

  children
• 33:58
  are
• 33:58
  going

  to

  ones
• 33:59
  who
• 33:59
  bring
• 34:00
  us
• 34:00
  further
• 34:00
  than
• 34:00
  any
• 34:00
  of
• 34:01
  us
• 34:01
  who
• 34:01
  are
• 34:01
  even
• 34:01
  on
• 34:02
  this
• 34:02
  call
• 34:02
  or
• 34:02
  even
• 34:02
  us
• 34:03
  who
• 34:03
  are
• 34:03
  listening
• 34:03
  ever
