  fundamental
• 1:19
  challenge
• 1:20
  to

  what
• 1:21
  we

  one

  of

  our

  principles.
• 1:30
  In

  particular,
• 1:31
  we

  believe

  human
• 1:32
  life
• 1:33
  is
• 1:33
  unique
• 1:33
  and
• 1:34
  precious.
• 1:35
  As
• 1:35
  such,
• 1:35
  we
• 1:36
  are
• 1:36
  compelled
• 1:37
  to
• 1:37
  remove
• 1:37
  aspects
• 1:38
  of
• 1:38
  schooling
• 1:39
  that
• 1:39
  disregard
• 1:40
  any
• 1:40
  student's
• 1:41
  dignity.

  Whatever

  that
• 4:59
  thing
• 5:00
  was
• 5:00
  called,
• 5:00
  the
• 5:01
  CO
• 5:01
  Located
• 5:02
  Conference.
• 5:02
  We
• 5:03
  got
• 5:03
  to
• 5:03
  see
• 5:03
  you
• 5:03
  there
• 5:04
  and
• 5:05
  you
• 5:05
  were
• 5:05
  talking
• 5:05
  about
• 5:06
  so
• 5:06
  many
• 5:07
  great
• 5:07
  ideas.
• 5:08
  But
• 5:08
  let's
• 5:08
  just
• 5:08
  first
• 5:09
  talk
• 5:09
  about
• 5:09
  your
• 5:09
  book,
• 5:10
  right?
• 5:10
  You
• 5:10
  wrote
• 5:10
  this
• 5:11
  fantastic
• 5:11
  book
• 5:12
  about
• 5:13
  equity
• 5:13
  and
• 5:14
  walking
• 5:14
  the
• 5:14
  talk.
• 5:16
  What
• 5:16
  do
• 5:16
  you
• 5:16
  hope
• 5:17
  to
• 5:17
  accomplish
• 5:17
  with
• 5:17
  that
• 5:18
  book,
• 5:19
  Ariel,
• 5:19
  for
• 5:19
  the
• 5:19
  big
• 5:20
  picture.
• 5:20
  You
• 5:21
  know,
• 5:21
  big
• 5:21
  picture.
• 5:22
  The
• 5:22
  reason
• 5:22
  why
• 5:22
  I
• 5:23
  wrote
• 5:23
  the
• 5:23
  book
• 5:24
  is
• 5:24
  honestly
• 5:25
  because
• 5:25
  I
• 5:25
  have
• 5:26
  two
• 5:26
  black
• 5:26
  boys
• 5:26
  at
• 5:27
  home.
• 5:27
  And
• 5:27
  I
• 5:27
  remember
• 5:28
  being
• 5:28
  a
• 5:28
  teacher
• 5:29
  and
• 5:30
  all
• 5:30
  the
• 5:30
  conversations
• 5:31
  about
• 5:31
  the
• 5:31
  achievement
• 5:32
  gap
• 5:32
  and
• 5:32
  just
• 5:32
  thinking
• 5:33
  about
• 5:34
  how
• 5:34
  school
• 5:34
  systems
• 5:35
  need
• 5:35
  to
• 5:35
  change
• 5:35
  if
• 5:36
  we're
• 5:36
  gonna
• 5:36
  make
• 5:36
  sure
• 5:36
  that
• 5:37
  we
• 5:37
  do
• 5:37
  deliver
• 5:38
  the
• 5:38
  promise,
• 5:38
  right.
• 5:39
  Of
• 5:39
  making
• 5:39
  sure
• 5:39
  that
• 5:39
  each
• 5:40
  kid
• 5:40
  learns
• 5:41
  and
• 5:41
  gets
• 5:41
  what
• 5:41
  they
• 5:42
  need.
• 5:42
  So
• 5:43
  really
• 5:43
  just
• 5:44
  started
• 5:44
  thinking
• 5:44
  about
• 5:45
  how
• 5:45
  do
• 5:45
  I
• 5:45
  present
• 5:46
  something
• 5:46
  in
• 5:46
  a
• 5:46
  practical
• 5:47
  way
• 5:48
  that
• 5:48
  people
• 5:48
  can
• 5:48
  see
• 5:49
  themselves
• 5:49
  actually
• 5:50
  doing
• 5:50
  the
• 5:50
  work?
• 5:51
  Because
• 5:51
  I
• 5:52
  think
• 5:52
  sometimes
• 5:53
  when
• 5:53
  people
• 5:53
  get
• 5:53
  caught
• 5:54
  up
• 5:54
  in
• 5:54
  the
• 5:54
  theory
• 5:54
  of
• 5:55
  it
• 5:55
  all,
• 5:55
  they
• 5:56
  lose
• 5:56
  hope
• 5:56
  that
• 5:56
  they
• 5:56
  could
• 5:57
  actually
• 5:57
  accomplish
• 5:57
  what
• 5:58
  certain
• 5:58
  things
• 5:58
  are
• 5:59
  asking
• 5:59
  them
• 5:59
  to
• 5:59
  do.
• 6:00
  So
• 6:00
  I
• 6:01
  really
• 6:01
  set
• 6:01
  out
• 6:02
  to
• 6:02
  write
• 6:02
  something
• 6:02
  that
• 6:02
  was
• 6:03
  practical
• 6:04
  that
• 6:04
  people
• 6:04
  could
• 6:04
  actually
• 6:05
  say,
• 6:05
  hey,
• 6:05
  I
• 6:05
  can
• 6:05
  see
• 6:06
  myself
• 6:06
  doing
• 6:06
  this
• 6:07
  and
• 6:07
  making
• 6:07
  this
• 6:07
  happen
• 6:07
  within
• 6:08
  my
• 6:08
  environment.
• 6:09
  And
• 6:10
  I
• 6:10
  love
• 6:10
  that
• 6:10
  because
• 6:11
  there's
• 6:12
  such
• 6:12
  a
• 6:13
  difference
• 6:13
  between
• 6:14
  the
• 6:15
  theoretical
• 6:15
  ideas
• 6:16
  that
• 6:16
  underpin
• 6:17
  a
• 6:17
  lot
• 6:17
  of
• 6:17
  great
• 6:17
  work
• 6:18
  and
• 6:18
  then
• 6:18
  how
• 6:19
  do
• 6:20
  put
• 6:20
  that
• 6:20
  work
• 6:20
  out
• 6:21
  there
• 6:21
  into
• 6:21
  practice
• 6:22
  every
• 6:22
  day
• 6:22
  in
• 6:22
  a
• 6:23
  way
• 6:23
  that
• 6:23
  isn't
• 6:23
  going
• 6:23
  to
• 6:24
  take
• 6:24
  me
• 6:24
  27
• 6:25
  hours
• 6:25
  of
• 6:25
  prep.
• 6:26
  Right.
• 6:26
  So
• 6:26
  how
• 6:27
  do
• 6:27
  I
• 6:27
  do
• 6:27
  all
• 6:27
  of
• 6:27
  that?
• 6:28
  So
• 6:28
  one
• 6:28
  of
• 6:28
  the
• 6:28
  things
• 6:29
  that
• 6:29
  you
• 6:29
  talk
• 6:29
  about
• 6:30
  in
• 6:31
  your
• 6:31
  book,
• 6:32
  and
• 6:32
  you
• 6:32
  mentioned
• 6:32
  it
• 6:33
  in
• 6:33
  the
• 6:33
  presentation,
• 6:34
  I
• 6:34
  mean,
• 6:34
  it
• 6:35
  was
• 6:35
  all
• 6:36
  centered
• 6:36
  around
• 6:36
  that,
• 6:37
  is
• 6:37
  this
• 6:37
  concept
• 6:38
  called
• 6:38
  the
• 6:39
  belief
• 6:39
  gap.
• 6:40
  Could
• 6:40
  you
• 6:41
  speak
• 6:41
  to
• 6:41
  that?
• 6:41
  What
• 6:42
  do
• 6:42
  you
• 6:42
  mean
• 6:42
  by
• 6:43
  the
• 6:43
  belief
• 6:44
  gap?
• 6:45
  Yeah.
• 6:45
  So,
• 6:46
  you
• 6:46
  know,
• 6:47
  oftentimes
• 6:47
  when
• 6:47
  we
• 6:48
  think
• 6:48
  about
• 6:49
  black
• 6:49
  and
• 6:50
  Brown
• 6:50
  students,
• 6:50
  people
• 6:51
  sometimes
• 6:51
  go
• 6:51
  through
• 6:51
  the
• 6:52
  checklist.
• 6:53
  You
• 6:53
  know,
• 6:53
  they
• 6:53
  talk
• 6:54
  about
• 6:54
  some
• 6:54
  of
• 6:54
  the
• 6:54
  things
• 6:55
  like
• 6:55
  poverty,
• 6:56
  single
• 6:57
  parent
• 6:57
  homes,
• 6:57
  lack
• 6:58
  of
• 6:58
  resources
• 6:59
  as
• 6:59
  the
• 6:59
  reason
• 6:59
  why
• 7:00
  the
• 7:00
  gap
• 7:00
  exists.
• 7:02
  But
• 7:02
  actually
• 7:02
  when
• 7:03
  you
• 7:03
  look
• 7:03
  at
• 7:03
  the
• 7:03
  research,
• 7:04
  when
• 7:04
  all
• 7:04
  things
• 7:04
  are
• 7:05
  considered
• 7:05
  equal,
• 7:06
  there
• 7:06
  is
• 7:06
  still
• 7:07
  a
• 7:07
  gap.
• 7:07
  So
• 7:07
  that
• 7:08
  tells
• 7:08
  me
• 7:08
  that
• 7:08
  there
• 7:08
  has
• 7:08
  to
• 7:09
  be
• 7:09
  something
• 7:09
  more
• 7:10
  as
• 7:10
  to
• 7:10
  why
• 7:11
  our
• 7:11
  students
• 7:12
  are
• 7:12
  equal.
• 7:13
  Lagging
• 7:13
  behind
• 7:14
  in
• 7:14
  a
• 7:14
  lot
• 7:14
  of
• 7:14
  ways.
• 7:15
  And
• 7:15
  it's
• 7:16
  because
• 7:16
  this
• 7:17
  notion
• 7:17
  of
• 7:17
  our
• 7:18
  belief,
• 7:18
  our
• 7:18
  belief
• 7:19
  systems
• 7:19
  actually
• 7:19
  create
• 7:21
  different
• 7:21
  ways
• 7:21
  that
• 7:21
  we
• 7:22
  respond
• 7:22
  and
• 7:22
  react
• 7:23
  to
• 7:23
  particular
• 7:23
  groups
• 7:24
  of
• 7:24
  students.
• 7:25
  So
• 7:25
  oftentimes,
• 7:26
  when
• 7:26
  you
• 7:26
  think
• 7:27
  about
• 7:27
  lesson
• 7:28
  planning,
• 7:28
  how
• 7:28
  we
• 7:29
  approach
• 7:29
  behavior,
• 7:30
  how
• 7:30
  we
• 7:30
  go
• 7:31
  after
• 7:31
  all
• 7:31
  these
• 7:31
  different
• 7:31
  things
• 7:32
  are
• 7:32
  impacted
• 7:33
  by
• 7:33
  the
• 7:33
  perceived
• 7:34
  conditions
• 7:34
  that
• 7:34
  we
• 7:34
  think
• 7:35
  students
• 7:35
  go
• 7:35
  through.
• 7:36
  So
• 7:36
  the
• 7:37
  way
• 7:37
  that
• 7:37
  I
• 7:37
  talk
• 7:37
  about
• 7:37
  it
• 7:38
  is
• 7:38
  oftentimes
• 7:39
  our
• 7:39
  black
• 7:40
  and
• 7:40
  Brown
• 7:40
  students
• 7:41
  experience
• 7:41
  the
• 7:42
  lower
• 7:42
  side
• 7:42
  of
• 7:42
  adult
• 7:43
  efficacy.
• 7:44
  And
• 7:44
  it's
• 7:45
  not
• 7:45
  even
• 7:45
  always
• 7:45
  from
• 7:46
  a
• 7:46
  negative
• 7:46
  place.
• 7:47
  Right.
• 7:47
  Like
• 7:47
  sometimes,
• 7:48
  you
• 7:48
  know,
• 7:48
  it's
• 7:49
  that
• 7:49
  Superman
• 7:49
  syndrome.
• 7:50
  Right.
• 7:50
  Or
• 7:50
  so
• 7:50
  sometimes
• 7:51
  people
• 7:51
  are
• 7:51
  coming
• 7:51
  from
• 7:52
  an
• 7:52
  authentic
• 7:52
  place
• 7:53
  of
• 7:53
  wanting
• 7:54
  to
• 7:54
  do
• 7:54
  more
• 7:54
  and
• 7:54
  be
• 7:55
  better
• 7:55
  for
• 7:55
  students,
• 7:56
  but
• 7:56
  in
• 7:56
  actuality,
• 7:57
  they're
• 7:57
  actually
• 7:57
  hindering
• 7:58
  their
• 7:58
  growth
• 7:58
  and
• 7:59
  learning.
• 7:59
  So
• 8:00
  it's
• 8:00
  not
• 8:00
  always
• 8:00
  that
• 8:00
  people
• 8:01
  are
• 8:01
  trying
• 8:01
  to
• 8:01
  be
• 8:01
  negative.
• 8:02
  Sometimes
• 8:03
  they're
• 8:03
  coming
• 8:03
  from
• 8:04
  a
• 8:04
  sincere
• 8:05
  place,
• 8:05
  but
• 8:05
  it's
• 8:05
  just
• 8:05
  not
• 8:06
  getting
• 8:06
  what
• 8:06
  we
• 8:07
  need
• 8:07
  to
• 8:07
  have
• 8:07
  get
• 8:07
  done.
• 8:08
  And
• 8:08
  you
• 8:08
  went
• 8:10
  a
• 8:10
  bit
• 8:10
  further
• 8:11
  in
• 8:11
  your
• 8:11
  recent
• 8:12
  article
• 8:14
  with
• 8:14
  ASCD
• 8:15
  ISD
• 8:16
  in
• 8:16
  regards
• 8:17
  to
• 8:17
  grading
• 8:19
  and
• 8:19
  those
• 8:19
  beliefs
• 8:20
  that
• 8:21
  often
• 8:21
  underpin
• 8:22
  how
• 8:23
  we
• 8:23
  approach
• 8:25
  our
• 8:25
  students.
• 8:26
  You
• 8:26
  want
• 8:26
  to
• 8:26
  talk
• 8:26
  a
• 8:27
  little
• 8:27
  bit
• 8:27
  about
• 8:27
  that?
• 8:28
  Yeah.
• 8:29
  So
• 8:29
  just
• 8:30
  looking
• 8:30
  at
• 8:31
  the
• 8:32
  grading
• 8:32
  systems
• 8:33
  and
• 8:33
  we
• 8:33
  talk
• 8:33
  about
• 8:34
  like,
• 8:34
  you
• 8:34
  know,
• 8:34
  cultural
• 8:35
  responsiveness
• 8:36
  and
• 8:36
  looking
• 8:37
  at
• 8:37
  the
• 8:37
  grading,
• 8:37
  and
• 8:37
  I
• 8:38
  think
• 8:38
  sometimes
• 8:38
  what
• 8:39
  we
• 8:39
  have
• 8:39
  to
• 8:39
  understand
• 8:40
  is
• 8:40
  that
• 8:41
  part
• 8:41
  of
• 8:41
  being
• 8:41
  culturally
• 8:42
  responsive
• 8:42
  is
• 8:42
  to
• 8:42
  actually
• 8:43
  step
• 8:43
  outside
• 8:43
  of
• 8:43
  yourself.
• 8:45
  And
• 8:45
  so
• 8:45
  even
• 8:45
  when
• 8:46
  you're
• 8:46
  looking
• 8:46
  at
• 8:46
  grading
• 8:47
  and
• 8:47
  we're,
• 8:47
  and
• 8:47
  we're
• 8:48
  grading
• 8:48
  students
• 8:48
  and
• 8:49
  things
• 8:49
  like
• 8:49
  that,
• 8:49
  we
• 8:49
  also
• 8:50
  have
• 8:50
  to
• 8:50
  pay
• 8:50
  attention
• 8:51
  to
• 8:51
  their
• 8:51
  cultural
• 8:52
  context
• 8:53
  when
• 8:53
  we're
• 8:53
  looking
• 8:53
  at
• 8:53
  the
• 8:54
  responses
• 8:54
  and
• 8:54
  the
• 8:54
  things
• 8:55
  that
• 8:55
  they're
• 8:55
  giving.
• 8:56
  So
• 8:56
  part
• 8:56
  of
• 8:57
  the
• 8:57
  article
• 8:57
  is
• 8:58
  actually
• 8:58
  talking
• 8:58
  about
• 8:59
  even
• 8:59
  though
• 9:00
  we're
• 9:00
  creating
• 9:00
  assessments
• 9:01
  that
• 9:01
  we
• 9:01
  say
• 9:01
  are
• 9:02
  more
• 9:02
  responsive
• 9:03
  to
• 9:03
  kids
• 9:03
  needs,
• 9:04
  the
• 9:04
  only
• 9:04
  way
• 9:04
  to
• 9:04
  actually
• 9:05
  know
• 9:05
  that
• 9:05
  is
• 9:06
  to
• 9:06
  sit
• 9:06
  back
• 9:06
  and
• 9:06
  actually
• 9:07
  kind
• 9:07
  of
• 9:07
  put
• 9:07
  yourself
• 9:08
  in
• 9:08
  the
• 9:08
  seat.
• 9:08
  Of
• 9:08
  the
• 9:08
  student
• 9:09
  to
• 9:09
  be
• 9:10
  able
• 9:10
  to
• 9:10
  get
• 9:10
  to
• 9:10
  understand.
• 9:11
  Did
• 9:12
  it
• 9:12
  deliver
• 9:12
  what
• 9:13
  it
• 9:13
  was
• 9:13
  supposed
• 9:13
  to
• 9:13
  deliver?
• 9:14
  Did
• 9:14
  I
• 9:14
  get
• 9:14
  the
• 9:14
  results
• 9:15
  that
• 9:15
  I
• 9:15
  was
• 9:15
  supposed
• 9:15
  to
• 9:15
  get?
• 9:16
  So
• 9:16
  how
• 9:16
  do
• 9:16
  we
• 9:16
  actually
• 9:17
  sit
• 9:17
  back
• 9:18
  and
• 9:18
  become
• 9:18
  more
• 9:19
  analytic
• 9:20
  around
• 9:20
  the
• 9:20
  types
• 9:21
  of
• 9:21
  things
• 9:21
  that
• 9:21
  we're
• 9:21
  grading
• 9:21
  and
• 9:22
  that
• 9:22
  we're
• 9:22
  putting
• 9:22
  out
• 9:22
  there
• 9:22
  for
• 9:23
  our
• 9:23
  students?
• 9:24
  Dwayne,
• 9:25
  you
• 9:25
  know,
• 9:25
  you
• 9:25
  and
• 9:25
  I
• 9:25
  are
• 9:26
  brothers
• 9:26
  and
• 9:26
  sisters
• 9:27
  in
• 9:27
  this
• 9:27
  equity
• 9:27
  work,
• 9:28
  and
• 9:28
  we
• 9:29
  have
• 9:29
  these
• 9:29
  deep
• 9:30
  conversations
• 9:32
  as
• 9:32
  we
• 9:32
  do
• 9:32
  in
• 9:32
  this
• 9:33
  wheelhouse
• 9:33
  space
• 9:34
  and
• 9:34
  as
• 9:34
  I
• 9:34
  do
• 9:35
  with
• 9:35
  each
• 9:35
  one
• 9:35
  of
• 9:35
  you,
• 9:36
  Grant,
• 9:36
  Kathy
• 9:37
  and
• 9:37
  Mike
• 9:38
  around
• 9:39
  mental
• 9:39
  models,
• 9:40
  and
• 9:41
  what
• 9:41
  are
• 9:41
  we
• 9:42
  bringing
• 9:42
  into
• 9:42
  the
• 9:42
  space?
• 9:43
  And
• 9:43
  how
• 9:43
  do
• 9:44
  we
• 9:44
  have
• 9:44
  enough
• 9:44
  courage
• 9:45
  to
• 9:46
  challenge
• 9:46
  our
• 9:47
  mental
• 9:47
  models,
• 9:48
  to
• 9:48
  see
• 9:49
  the
• 9:49
  individuals
• 9:50
  that
• 9:50
  are
• 9:50
  sitting
• 9:51
  in
• 9:52
  the
• 9:52
  seats
• 9:53
  to
• 9:53
  really
• 9:54
  challenge
• 9:55
  some
• 9:55
  of
• 9:55
  those
• 9:55
  core.
• 9:57
  Those
• 9:58
  core
• 9:59
  energies
• 10:00
  and
• 10:00
  thoughts
• 10:01
  around
• 10:02
  why
• 10:03
  the
• 10:03
  classrooms
• 10:04
  and
• 10:04
  the
• 10:05
  disconnects
• 10:05
  and
• 10:06
  the
• 10:06
  deficits
• 10:07
  actually
• 10:07
  do
• 10:07
  exist?
• 10:09
  Yeah,
• 10:09
  so
• 10:09
  I
• 10:11
  totally
• 10:11
  agree
• 10:11
  about
• 10:12
  checking
• 10:12
  those
• 10:12
  mental
• 10:13
  models.
• 10:13
  And
• 10:13
  I
• 10:13
  think
• 10:14
  part
• 10:14
  of,
• 10:15
  you
• 10:15
  know,
• 10:15
  it's
• 10:16
  interesting
• 10:16
  that
• 10:17
  we've
• 10:17
  kind
• 10:18
  of
• 10:18
  shifted
• 10:18
  a
• 10:18
  little
• 10:18
  bit
• 10:18
  to
• 10:19
  this
• 10:19
  notion
• 10:19
  of
• 10:19
  this
• 10:20
  teaching
• 10:20
  about
• 10:20
  belonging
• 10:21
  to.
• 10:23
  And
• 10:23
  I'm
• 10:23
  fearful
• 10:23
  that
• 10:24
  as
• 10:24
  we
• 10:24
  talk
• 10:24
  about
• 10:24
  belonging,
• 10:25
  we're
• 10:26
  losing
• 10:26
  the
• 10:27
  root
• 10:27
  of
• 10:27
  the
• 10:27
  conversation.
• 10:28
  Like,
• 10:28
  I
• 10:28
  think
• 10:28
  a
• 10:29
  belonging
• 10:29
  is
• 10:29
  important,
• 10:30
  but
• 10:31
  I
• 10:31
  even
• 10:31
  think
• 10:31
  about
• 10:32
  my
• 10:32
  own
• 10:33
  experience,
• 10:34
  right
• 10:35
  where
• 10:36
  part
• 10:37
  of
• 10:37
  my
• 10:37
  anxieties
• 10:38
  that
• 10:38
  I
• 10:38
  developed
• 10:38
  as
• 10:39
  a
• 10:39
  young
• 10:39
  black
• 10:39
  boy
• 10:40
  was
• 10:40
  due
• 10:41
  to
• 10:42
  teachers
• 10:42
  unknowingly
• 10:43
  doing
• 10:43
  things
• 10:44
  that
• 10:45
  they
• 10:45
  didn't
• 10:45
  realize
• 10:45
  impacted
• 10:46
  me
• 10:46
  as
• 10:46
  a
• 10:46
  black
• 10:46
  male
• 10:47
  sitting
• 10:47
  in
• 10:47
  the
• 10:47
  classroom.
• 10:48
  And
• 10:48
  I
• 10:49
  tell
• 10:49
  the
• 10:49
  story
• 10:49
  of
• 10:50
  even,
• 10:50
  like
• 10:50
  the,
• 10:50
  you
• 10:50
  know,
• 10:51
  the
• 10:51
  math
• 10:51
  facts
• 10:51
  around
• 10:52
  the
• 10:52
  world
• 10:52
  game
• 10:53
  where
• 10:54
  students
• 10:54
  stand
• 10:55
  up,
• 10:55
  you
• 10:55
  know,
• 10:56
  and
• 10:56
  were
• 10:57
  put
• 10:57
  on
• 10:57
  display
• 10:58
  in
• 10:58
  front
• 10:58
  of
• 10:58
  the
• 10:58
  whole
• 10:58
  class.
• 10:59
  And
• 11:00
  I
• 11:00
  remember
• 11:00
  as
• 11:01
  a
• 11:01
  black
• 11:01
  male,
• 11:02
  thinking
• 11:02
  about
• 11:03
  the
• 11:03
  things
• 11:03
  that
• 11:03
  kids,
• 11:04
  other
• 11:04
  kids
• 11:04
  were
• 11:04
  being
• 11:05
  praised
• 11:05
  for.
• 11:06
  But
• 11:06
  also
• 11:06
  when
• 11:06
  you're
• 11:07
  thinking
• 11:07
  about
• 11:08
  some
• 11:08
  of
• 11:08
  the
• 11:08
  things
• 11:09
  that
• 11:09
  teachers
• 11:09
  bring
• 11:10
  to
• 11:10
  the
• 11:10
  table
• 11:11
  that
• 11:12
  they
• 11:12
  don't
• 11:12
  even
• 11:12
  know,
• 11:13
  that
• 11:13
  they
• 11:13
  haven't
• 11:13
  even
• 11:13
  contended
• 11:14
  with
• 11:14
  in
• 11:14
  regards
• 11:14
  to
• 11:15
  their
• 11:15
  belief
• 11:15
  models
• 11:16
  has
• 11:17
  to
• 11:17
  happen.
• 11:17
  But
• 11:17
  I
• 11:17
  think
• 11:17
  one
• 11:18
  of
• 11:18
  the
• 11:18
  things
• 11:18
  we
• 11:18
  have
• 11:18
  to
• 11:18
  begin
• 11:19
  to
• 11:19
  do
• 11:20
  is
• 11:20
  we
• 11:20
  have
• 11:20
  to
• 11:20
  find
• 11:21
  the
• 11:21
  courage
• 11:21
  to
• 11:21
  say
• 11:22
  the
• 11:22
  thing.
• 11:24
  So
• 11:24
  often
• 11:24
  in
• 11:24
  our
• 11:25
  education
• 11:25
  spaces,
• 11:26
  we're
• 11:27
  all
• 11:27
  about
• 11:27
  protecting
• 11:28
  adult
• 11:28
  morale,
• 11:29
  despite
• 11:30
  what
• 11:30
  it
• 11:30
  does
• 11:30
  to
• 11:31
  kids
• 11:31
  and
• 11:31
  despite
• 11:31
  how
• 11:32
  it
• 11:32
  impacts
• 11:32
  their
• 11:33
  future.
• 11:33
  And
• 11:34
  so
• 11:34
  we've
• 11:34
  got
• 11:34
  to
• 11:35
  find
• 11:35
  more
• 11:35
  courage
• 11:36
  in
• 11:36
  our
• 11:36
  systems
• 11:37
  to
• 11:37
  say
• 11:37
  the
• 11:38
  thing
• 11:38
  that
• 11:38
  needs
• 11:38
  to
• 11:38
  be
• 11:38
  said,
• 11:39
  but
• 11:39
  we
• 11:39
  have
• 11:39
  to
• 11:39
  say
• 11:39
  it
• 11:40
  with
• 11:40
  authentic
• 11:40
  care.
• 11:41
  You
• 11:41
  know,
• 11:42
  my
• 11:42
  dad
• 11:42
  used
• 11:42
  to
• 11:42
  tell
• 11:43
  me,
• 11:43
  I
• 11:43
  love
• 11:43
  you
• 11:43
  too
• 11:43
  much
• 11:43
  to
• 11:44
  allow
• 11:44
  you
• 11:44
  to
• 11:44
  stay
• 11:44
  that
• 11:44
  way.
• 11:45
  We
• 11:45
  have
• 11:45
  to
• 11:45
  feel
• 11:46
  the
• 11:46
  same
• 11:46
  way
• 11:46
  about
• 11:46
  our
• 11:47
  teachers
• 11:47
  and
• 11:47
  about
• 11:47
  our
• 11:47
  educators.
• 11:48
  That
• 11:49
  my
• 11:49
  version
• 11:49
  of
• 11:50
  care
• 11:50
  for
• 11:50
  you
• 11:50
  is
• 11:51
  to
• 11:51
  actually
• 11:51
  wanna
• 11:51
  see
• 11:52
  you
• 11:52
  get
• 11:52
  Better
• 11:52
  and
• 11:53
  to
• 11:53
  give
• 11:53
  you
• 11:53
  information
• 11:54
  that
• 11:54
  helps
• 11:54
  you
• 11:54
  improve
• 11:55
  because
• 11:56
  too
• 11:56
  often
• 11:56
  we
• 11:56
  withhold
• 11:57
  that
• 11:57
  information
• 11:57
  because
• 11:57
  we
• 11:58
  don't
• 11:58
  want
• 11:58
  people
• 11:58
  to
• 11:58
  burn
• 11:59
  out
• 11:59
  or
• 11:59
  we
• 11:59
  don't
• 11:59
  want
• 11:59
  people
• 12:00
  to
• 12:00
  tap
• 12:01
  out,
• 12:01
  so
• 12:01
  to
• 12:01
  speak.
• 12:02
  We
• 12:02
  have
• 12:02
  to
• 12:02
  get
• 12:03
  past
• 12:03
  that
• 12:03
  and
• 12:03
  understand
• 12:05
  that
• 12:05
  the
• 12:05
  only
• 12:05
  way
• 12:05
  that
• 12:06
  we're
• 12:06
  gonna
• 12:06
  get
• 12:06
  there
• 12:06
  and
• 12:06
  deliver
• 12:07
  that
• 12:07
  promise
• 12:08
  for
• 12:08
  those
• 12:08
  kids
• 12:08
  is
• 12:08
  we
• 12:09
  have
• 12:09
  to
• 12:09
  become
• 12:09
  real
• 12:10
  in
• 12:10
  our
• 12:10
  conversations
• 12:11
  and
• 12:11
  how
• 12:11
  we
• 12:12
  provide
• 12:12
  coaching
• 12:12
  and
• 12:12
  feedback.
• 12:14
  That's
• 12:14
  a.
• 12:14
  A
• 12:15
  major
• 12:15
  shift.
• 12:16
  Right.
• 12:16
  Because
• 12:16
  we
• 12:17
  have,
• 12:17
  especially,
• 12:18
  especially
• 12:19
  since
• 12:20
  COVID
• 12:21
  we
• 12:21
  have
• 12:22
  been
• 12:22
  super
• 12:23
  focused
• 12:24
  on
• 12:26
  adult
• 12:26
  needs.
• 12:27
  Right.
• 12:29
  Be.
• 12:29
  We've
• 12:30
  been
• 12:30
  so
• 12:30
  fearful
• 12:30
  of,
• 12:31
  you
• 12:31
  know,
• 12:32
  the,
• 12:32
  the
• 12:32
  mass
• 12:32
  exodus
• 12:34
  and,
• 12:34
  you
• 12:34
  know,
• 12:34
  wanting.
• 12:34
  Not
• 12:35
  wanting
• 12:35
  to
• 12:35
  put
• 12:35
  too
• 12:36
  much
• 12:36
  pressure
• 12:37
  on
• 12:38
  adults.
• 12:39
  And
• 12:40
  I
• 12:40
  remember
• 12:40
  sitting
• 12:41
  in
• 12:41
  a
• 12:42
  conversation
• 12:44
  and
• 12:44
  they
• 12:45
  were,
• 12:45
  you
• 12:45
  know,
• 12:45
  and
• 12:45
  we
• 12:46
  were.
• 12:46
  They
• 12:47
  were.
• 12:47
  I
• 12:47
  wasn't.
• 12:47
  They
• 12:48
  were
• 12:48
  lamenting,
• 12:48
  you
• 12:49
  know,
• 12:49
  how
• 12:49
  difficult
• 12:50
  it
• 12:50
  is
• 12:50
  to
• 12:51
  be
• 12:51
  a
• 12:51
  teacher
• 12:51
  during
• 12:52
  COVID
• 12:53
  you
• 12:53
  know,
• 12:54
  because
• 12:54
  of
• 12:54
  all
• 12:55
  these
• 12:55
  things
• 12:55
  that
• 12:55
  were.
• 12:56
  That
• 12:56
  were
• 12:56
  expected
• 12:56
  of
• 12:57
  them.
• 12:57
  And
• 12:57
  then
• 12:58
  I
• 12:58
  went,
• 12:58
  wait.
• 12:58
  Well,
• 12:58
  wait
• 12:59
  a
• 12:59
  minute.
• 12:59
  In
• 12:59
  this
• 13:00
  particular
• 13:00
  community,
• 13:01
  teachers
• 13:01
  are
• 13:01
  the
• 13:01
  highest
• 13:02
  paid
• 13:02
  salary
• 13:03
  in
• 13:04
  the
• 13:04
  community,
• 13:04
  and
• 13:05
  nobody
• 13:05
  has
• 13:05
  lost
• 13:06
  their
• 13:06
  jobs.
• 13:06
  Did
• 13:07
  we
• 13:07
  ever
• 13:07
  think
• 13:07
  about
• 13:07
  what,
• 13:08
  what
• 13:08
  about
• 13:08
  the
• 13:09
  grocery
• 13:09
  store
• 13:09
  clerk
• 13:10
  or
• 13:10
  the.
• 13:10
  Or
• 13:11
  the
• 13:11
  bank
• 13:11
  teller
• 13:12
  or
• 13:12
  the.
• 13:12
  Or
• 13:12
  the
• 13:13
  nail
• 13:13
  technician
• 13:14
  who
• 13:14
  just
• 13:14
  lost
• 13:15
  her
• 13:15
  job
• 13:15
  because,
• 13:16
  you
• 13:16
  know,
• 13:16
  whatever.
• 13:17
  And
• 13:17
  so
• 13:19
  that
• 13:20
  kind
• 13:20
  of,
• 13:21
  that
• 13:21
  whole
• 13:21
  dancing
• 13:22
  around
• 13:22
  adults
• 13:24
  has
• 13:24
  continued
• 13:26
  since
• 13:27
  2020.
• 13:28
  Yeah.
• 13:29
  And
• 13:29
  what,
• 13:30
  and
• 13:30
  what
• 13:30
  you're
• 13:31
  saying.
• 13:31
  And
• 13:31
  we're
• 13:32
  not
• 13:32
  saying
• 13:32
  rip
• 13:33
  adults
• 13:33
  to
• 13:33
  shreds,
• 13:34
  but
• 13:35
  you're
• 13:35
  saying
• 13:35
  we've
• 13:36
  got
• 13:36
  to
• 13:36
  really.
• 13:37
  We've
• 13:37
  got
• 13:37
  to
• 13:38
  really
• 13:38
  be
• 13:38
  honest
• 13:40
  and
• 13:40
  courageous
• 13:41
  as
• 13:41
  adults
• 13:42
  if
• 13:42
  we're
• 13:42
  going
• 13:43
  to
• 13:43
  impact
• 13:43
  positively
• 13:44
  the
• 13:44
  lives
• 13:45
  of
• 13:45
  students.
• 13:47
  Exactly.
• 13:47
  And
• 13:48
  what
• 13:48
  gets
• 13:48
  people
• 13:48
  to.
• 13:49
  When
• 13:49
  we
• 13:49
  talk
• 13:49
  about
• 13:50
  retention
• 13:50
  and
• 13:50
  getting
• 13:51
  people
• 13:51
  to
• 13:51
  stay
• 13:51
  in
• 13:51
  the
• 13:51
  profession,
• 13:52
  the
• 13:52
  thing
• 13:53
  that
• 13:53
  gets
• 13:53
  them
• 13:53
  to
• 13:53
  leave
• 13:53
  the
• 13:54
  quickest
• 13:54
  is
• 13:54
  lack
• 13:55
  of
• 13:55
  leadership.
• 13:56
  That's
• 13:56
  what
• 13:57
  gets
• 13:57
  people
• 13:57
  to
• 13:57
  leave.
• 13:57
  Think
• 13:58
  about
• 13:58
  it.
• 13:58
  People
• 13:58
  stay
• 13:59
  because
• 13:59
  of
• 13:59
  people.
• 14:01
  So
• 14:01
  it's
• 14:01
  crazy
• 14:02
  because
• 14:02
  the
• 14:02
  one
• 14:02
  thing
• 14:03
  that
• 14:03
  we're
• 14:03
  trying
• 14:03
  to
• 14:03
  protect
• 14:04
  is
• 14:04
  actually
• 14:04
  exasperating
• 14:05
  the
• 14:05
  problem.
• 14:07
  So
• 14:07
  when
• 14:07
  we
• 14:08
  actually
• 14:08
  show
• 14:08
  leadership,
• 14:09
  you
• 14:09
  actually
• 14:10
  get
• 14:10
  people
• 14:10
  to
• 14:10
  stay.
• 14:11
  When
• 14:12
  you
• 14:12
  have
• 14:12
  those
• 14:12
  conversations,
• 14:13
  but
• 14:13
  you're
• 14:13
  coming
• 14:14
  from
• 14:14
  a
• 14:14
  place
• 14:14
  of
• 14:14
  not
• 14:15
  to
• 14:15
  get
• 14:15
  you.
• 14:16
  But
• 14:16
  to
• 14:16
  say,
• 14:17
  we're
• 14:17
  actually
• 14:17
  going
• 14:17
  to
• 14:17
  create
• 14:17
  an
• 14:18
  environment
• 14:18
  and
• 14:18
  a
• 14:18
  culture
• 14:19
  where
• 14:19
  our
• 14:19
  kids
• 14:19
  thrive,
• 14:20
  but
• 14:20
  I'm
• 14:20
  going
• 14:21
  to
• 14:21
  provide
• 14:21
  high
• 14:21
  levels
• 14:22
  of
• 14:22
  support
• 14:23
  that
• 14:23
  gets
• 14:24
  people
• 14:24
  to
• 14:24
  want
• 14:24
  to
• 14:24
  stay.
• 14:25
  So
• 14:25
  we
• 14:26
  have
• 14:26
  to
• 14:26
  stop
• 14:26
  coming
• 14:26
  with
• 14:27
  these
• 14:27
  same
• 14:27
  ideologies
• 14:28
  and
• 14:28
  viewpoints
• 14:29
  of
• 14:30
  doing
• 14:30
  the
• 14:31
  same
• 14:31
  old
• 14:31
  thing
• 14:31
  gets
• 14:32
  us
• 14:32
  better
• 14:32
  results.
• 14:33
  It
• 14:33
  doesn't
• 14:33
  happen.
• 14:34
  Never
• 14:35
  does
• 14:35
  it
• 14:35
  happen.
• 14:36
  So
• 14:36
  we've
• 14:37
  got
• 14:37
  to
• 14:37
  sit
• 14:37
  back
• 14:37
  and
• 14:38
  say,
• 14:38
  how
• 14:38
  do
• 14:38
  we
• 14:38
  develop
• 14:39
  strong
• 14:39
  leaders
• 14:40
  who
• 14:40
  are
• 14:40
  going
• 14:41
  to
• 14:41
  speak
• 14:41
  power
• 14:42
  to
• 14:42
  truth,
• 14:43
  Right?
• 14:43
  And
• 14:44
  so
• 14:44
  who's
• 14:45
  going
• 14:45
  to
• 14:45
  be
• 14:45
  willing
• 14:45
  to
• 14:46
  have
• 14:46
  those
• 14:46
  conversations,
• 14:47
  but
• 14:47
  do
• 14:47
  it
• 14:48
  in
• 14:48
  a
• 14:48
  way
• 14:48
  that
• 14:48
  allows
• 14:49
  people
• 14:49
  to
• 14:49
  actually
• 14:50
  respond
• 14:50
  and
• 14:51
  grow
• 14:51
  and
• 14:51
  do
• 14:51
  better
• 14:51
  for
• 14:52
  our
• 14:52
  kids?
• 14:54
  I'd
• 14:54
  like
• 14:54
  to
• 14:54
  further
• 14:55
  extend
• 14:55
  that
• 14:56
  right.
• 14:56
  Is
• 14:57
  how
• 14:57
  do
• 14:57
  we
• 14:57
  define
• 14:58
  leadership
• 15:00
  in
• 15:00
  our
• 15:01
  school
• 15:01
  spaces
• 15:02
  now?
• 15:02
  And
• 15:03
  it's
• 15:03
  interesting
• 15:04
  because
• 15:05
  teachers
• 15:06
  don't
• 15:06
  see
• 15:06
  themselves
• 15:07
  as
• 15:07
  leaders,
• 15:08
  right?
• 15:09
  So
• 15:10
  it's,
• 15:11
  how
• 15:11
  are
• 15:11
  we
• 15:12
  positioning
• 15:12
  ourselves?
• 15:13
  What
• 15:13
  are
• 15:13
  our
• 15:14
  own
• 15:14
  personal
• 15:14
  positionalities
• 15:15
  around
• 15:16
  leaders
• 15:17
  and
• 15:17
  leadership
• 15:18
  and
• 15:18
  those
• 15:19
  practices
• 15:19
  and
• 15:20
  those
• 15:20
  competencies?
• 15:21
  Do
• 15:22
  we
• 15:22
  all
• 15:22
  have
• 15:22
  a
• 15:22
  common
• 15:23
  language
• 15:23
  in
• 15:24
  that
• 15:24
  educational
• 15:25
  system
• 15:26
  or
• 15:26
  what
• 15:26
  a
• 15:26
  leader
• 15:27
  is
• 15:28
  not
• 15:28
  necessarily
• 15:29
  by
• 15:29
  title
• 15:30
  and
• 15:30
  function,
• 15:31
  but
• 15:31
  by
• 15:32
  role.
• 15:33
  It
• 15:34
  would
• 15:34
  be
• 15:34
  great
• 15:34
  if
• 15:34
  we
• 15:34
  could
• 15:35
  unpack
• 15:35
  that
• 15:35
  a
• 15:36
  little
• 15:36
  bit,
• 15:36
  because
• 15:37
  if
• 15:37
  we're
• 15:37
  going
• 15:37
  to
• 15:37
  get
• 15:38
  effective
• 15:38
  leaders,
• 15:39
  what
• 15:40
  are
• 15:40
  those
• 15:40
  exemplars
• 15:41
  of
• 15:41
  best
• 15:42
  practices
• 15:42
  that
• 15:43
  we
• 15:43
  all
• 15:43
  have
• 15:43
  to
• 15:43
  be
• 15:43
  courageous
• 15:44
  to
• 15:44
  own
• 15:45
  and
• 15:45
  walk
• 15:45
  out?
• 15:46
  I
• 15:46
  so
• 15:47
  love
• 15:47
  that
• 15:48
  you
• 15:48
  unpacked
• 15:48
  that
• 15:48
  that
• 15:49
  way.
• 15:49
  And
• 15:49
  I
• 15:49
  was
• 15:50
  thinking
• 15:50
  about
• 15:50
  my
• 15:52
  book,
• 15:52
  and
• 15:52
  one
• 15:52
  of
• 15:52
  the
• 15:53
  first
• 15:53
  places
• 15:53
  when
• 15:54
  you're
• 15:54
  talking
• 15:54
  about
• 15:54
  creating
• 15:55
  a
• 15:55
  common
• 15:55
  language
• 15:56
  is
• 15:57
  I
• 15:57
  was
• 15:57
  actually
• 15:57
  starting
• 15:58
  around,
• 15:58
  like
• 15:58
  our
• 15:58
  mission
• 15:59
  statements
• 15:59
  and
• 15:59
  our
• 16:00
  value
• 16:00
  statements,
• 16:00
  right?
• 16:01
  Like
• 16:01
  everybody
• 16:02
  has
• 16:02
  them,
• 16:02
  but
• 16:03
  yet
• 16:03
  when
• 16:03
  you
• 16:03
  walk
• 16:03
  cultures
• 16:04
  and
• 16:04
  you
• 16:04
  walk
• 16:04
  environments,
• 16:05
  rarely
• 16:05
  do
• 16:05
  you
• 16:06
  actually
• 16:06
  see
• 16:06
  it
• 16:06
  living
• 16:06
  out.
• 16:08
  So
• 16:08
  part
• 16:08
  of
• 16:08
  the
• 16:09
  leadership
• 16:10
  piece
• 16:11
  is
• 16:11
  I
• 16:11
  even
• 16:11
  talk
• 16:12
  about
• 16:12
  how
• 16:12
  do
• 16:12
  we
• 16:13
  unpack
• 16:13
  that,
• 16:13
  but
• 16:13
  look
• 16:14
  at
• 16:14
  it
• 16:14
  from
• 16:14
  everybody's
• 16:15
  role
• 16:15
  and
• 16:15
  perspective.
• 16:17
  So
• 16:17
  even
• 16:17
  when
• 16:17
  we
• 16:18
  talk
• 16:18
  about
• 16:18
  high
• 16:18
  expectations,
• 16:19
  what
• 16:19
  does
• 16:20
  that
• 16:20
  look
• 16:20
  like
• 16:20
  to
• 16:20
  everybody?
• 16:21
  What
• 16:21
  does
• 16:21
  it
• 16:21
  look
• 16:21
  like
• 16:22
  from
• 16:22
  the
• 16:22
  leadership
• 16:22
  perspective?
• 16:23
  What
• 16:23
  does
• 16:23
  it
• 16:23
  look
• 16:23
  like
• 16:24
  from
• 16:24
  the
• 16:24
  role
• 16:24
  of
• 16:24
  a
• 16:24
  teacher
• 16:25
  sitting
• 16:25
  in
• 16:25
  the
• 16:25
  classroom,
• 16:26
  different
• 16:26
  people.
• 16:27
  When
• 16:27
  people
• 16:28
  don't
• 16:28
  understand
• 16:29
  things
• 16:29
  in
• 16:29
  the
• 16:30
  environment,
• 16:30
  they
• 16:30
  make
• 16:30
  things
• 16:31
  up.
• 16:32
  They
• 16:32
  go
• 16:32
  after
• 16:32
  things
• 16:33
  in
• 16:33
  their
• 16:33
  own
• 16:33
  way.
• 16:34
  So
• 16:34
  I
• 16:34
  think,
• 16:34
  to
• 16:34
  your
• 16:34
  point
• 16:35
  of
• 16:36
  what
• 16:36
  does
• 16:36
  leadership
• 16:37
  look
• 16:37
  like?
• 16:37
  One
• 16:38
  of
• 16:38
  the
• 16:38
  things
• 16:38
  that
• 16:38
  I
• 16:38
  think
• 16:38
  we
• 16:39
  have
• 16:39
  to
• 16:39
  really
• 16:39
  get
• 16:39
  people
• 16:40
  good
• 16:40
  at
• 16:41
  is
• 16:41
  deep
• 16:41
  reflective
• 16:42
  practice,
• 16:43
  because
• 16:45
  we
• 16:45
  don't
• 16:45
  oftentimes
• 16:46
  sit
• 16:46
  back
• 16:46
  and
• 16:47
  take
• 16:47
  a
• 16:47
  look
• 16:47
  at
• 16:47
  our
• 16:48
  impact.
• 16:49
  So
• 16:49
  thinking
• 16:49
  about
• 16:50
  a
• 16:50
  teacher
• 16:50
  who.
• 16:51
  Because
• 16:51
  I
• 16:52
  think
• 16:52
  there's.
• 16:52
  It's
• 16:52
  hard
• 16:52
  for
• 16:52
  people
• 16:53
  to
• 16:53
  completely
• 16:53
  be
• 16:53
  aware,
• 16:54
  right,
• 16:55
  of
• 16:55
  who
• 16:55
  they
• 16:55
  are
• 16:55
  in
• 16:56
  every
• 16:56
  given
• 16:56
  moment.
• 16:56
  But
• 16:57
  what
• 16:57
  you
• 16:57
  can
• 16:57
  do
• 16:58
  is
• 16:58
  you
• 16:58
  can
• 16:59
  look
• 16:59
  at
• 16:59
  what
• 16:59
  it
• 16:59
  does
• 16:59
  to
• 17:00
  a
• 17:00
  kid
• 17:00
  and
• 17:01
  sit
• 17:01
  back
• 17:01
  and
• 17:01
  go,
• 17:01
  man,
• 17:02
  there
• 17:02
  was
• 17:02
  something
• 17:02
  off
• 17:02
  in
• 17:03
  that
• 17:03
  moment.
• 17:03
  What
• 17:04
  is
• 17:04
  it
• 17:04
  about
• 17:04
  me?
• 17:05
  What
• 17:05
  is
• 17:05
  it
• 17:05
  about
• 17:05
  this
• 17:06
  situation
• 17:06
  that
• 17:06
  created
• 17:07
  this
• 17:07
  condition?
• 17:09
  So
• 17:09
  I
• 17:10
  think
• 17:10
  one
• 17:10
  of
• 17:10
  the
• 17:10
  things
• 17:10
  that
• 17:11
  we
• 17:11
  can
• 17:11
  do,
• 17:11
  that's
• 17:11
  a
• 17:11
  mistake
• 17:12
  about
• 17:12
  this
• 17:13
  equity
• 17:13
  thing,
• 17:14
  Sometimes
• 17:14
  we
• 17:14
  make
• 17:14
  it
• 17:15
  a
• 17:15
  game
• 17:15
  of
• 17:15
  perfection,
• 17:16
  and
• 17:17
  it's
• 17:17
  not
• 17:17
  perfection,
• 17:18
  right?
• 17:18
  There's
• 17:18
  no
• 17:19
  way
• 17:19
  to
• 17:19
  come
• 17:19
  at
• 17:19
  this
• 17:19
  thing
• 17:19
  from
• 17:20
  a
• 17:20
  perfect
• 17:20
  landscape.
• 17:21
  But
• 17:21
  when
• 17:21
  you're
• 17:21
  thinking
• 17:22
  about
• 17:22
  leaders,
• 17:23
  and
• 17:23
  you're
• 17:23
  thinking
• 17:24
  about
• 17:24
  how
• 17:24
  we
• 17:25
  develop,
• 17:25
  getting
• 17:25
  teachers
• 17:26
  to
• 17:26
  view
• 17:26
  themselves
• 17:27
  as
• 17:27
  leaders.
• 17:27
  Part
• 17:28
  of
• 17:28
  it
• 17:28
  is
• 17:28
  you've
• 17:28
  got
• 17:28
  to
• 17:28
  be
• 17:29
  reflective.
• 17:29
  You've
• 17:30
  got
• 17:30
  to
• 17:30
  take
• 17:31
  a
• 17:31
  look
• 17:31
  at
• 17:31
  the
• 17:31
  things
• 17:31
  that
• 17:32
  you
• 17:32
  do,
• 17:33
  look
• 17:33
  at
• 17:33
  how
• 17:33
  you
• 17:33
  show
• 17:34
  up
• 17:34
  and
• 17:34
  look
• 17:34
  at
• 17:35
  how
• 17:35
  it
• 17:35
  impacts
• 17:35
  kids
• 17:36
  and
• 17:36
  their
• 17:36
  experience.
• 17:37
  Look
• 17:38
  at
• 17:38
  how
• 17:39
  are
• 17:39
  they
• 17:39
  responding
• 17:40
  to
• 17:40
  you
• 17:40
  when
• 17:40
  you're
• 17:41
  interacting
• 17:41
  with
• 17:41
  them
• 17:41
  in
• 17:42
  that
• 17:42
  classroom.
• 17:42
  Is
• 17:42
  it
• 17:43
  authentic?
• 17:44
  Are
• 17:44
  they
• 17:44
  engaged?
• 17:45
  Part
• 17:45
  of
• 17:45
  that
• 17:45
  leadership
• 17:46
  is
• 17:46
  taking
• 17:46
  a.
• 17:46
  Look
• 17:46
  at
• 17:47
  yourself,
• 17:47
  which
• 17:48
  is
• 17:48
  often
• 17:49
  the
• 17:50
  hardest
• 17:51
  thing
• 17:51
  that
• 17:51
  we
• 17:52
  ask
• 17:52
  educators
• 17:53
  to
• 17:53
  do,
• 17:54
  which
• 17:55
  is
• 17:55
  to
• 17:55
  look
• 17:56
  in
• 17:56
  the
• 17:56
  mirror
• 17:57
  and
• 17:57
  really
• 17:57
  think
• 17:58
  about
• 17:58
  what
• 17:59
  they
• 17:59
  do
• 17:59
  and
• 18:00
  its
• 18:00
  impact
• 18:01
  on
• 18:02
  students
• 18:02
  in
• 18:02
  their
• 18:03
  classrooms,
• 18:04
  for
• 18:04
  sure.
• 18:05
  And
• 18:05
  then
• 18:05
  being
• 18:05
  prepared
• 18:07
  to
• 18:07
  support
• 18:09
  what
• 18:09
  they
• 18:09
  surface.
• 18:11
  So
• 18:12
  as
• 18:12
  leaders,
• 18:13
  and
• 18:13
  we
• 18:13
  talked
• 18:14
  about
• 18:14
  this
• 18:14
  last
• 18:15
  week
• 18:15
  and
• 18:16
  those
• 18:16
  layers
• 18:17
  of
• 18:17
  leadership,
• 18:18
  which
• 18:18
  is
• 18:18
  exactly
• 18:19
  what
• 18:19
  you
• 18:19
  were
• 18:19
  talking
• 18:20
  about,
• 18:20
  Duane
• 18:21
  and
• 18:22
  Alicia,
• 18:23
  that
• 18:24
  everybody
• 18:25
  within
• 18:26
  a
• 18:26
  district
• 18:27
  is
• 18:28
  a
• 18:28
  leader
• 18:29
  in
• 18:30
  a
• 18:30
  different
• 18:30
  way.
• 18:31
  And
• 18:31
  so
• 18:32
  what
• 18:32
  does
• 18:32
  that
• 18:32
  look
• 18:33
  like?
• 18:33
  To
• 18:33
  be
• 18:33
  able
• 18:33
  to
• 18:34
  support
• 18:36
  whatever
• 18:37
  is
• 18:37
  being
• 18:37
  surfaced
• 18:39
  and
• 18:39
  not
• 18:39
  being
• 18:40
  perfect
• 18:40
  with
• 18:40
  that
• 18:41
  and
• 18:41
  understanding
• 18:42
  that
• 18:42
  we
• 18:42
  are
• 18:43
  going
• 18:43
  to
• 18:43
  fall
• 18:44
  short,
• 18:45
  but
• 18:45
  how
• 18:45
  are
• 18:46
  we
• 18:46
  reflecting
• 18:47
  and
• 18:48
  growing
• 18:48
  and
• 18:49
  ensuring
• 18:50
  that
• 18:50
  we're
• 18:51
  not
• 18:52
  falling
• 18:52
  short
• 18:53
  in
• 18:53
  the
• 18:53
  same
• 18:53
  way
• 18:54
  over
• 18:54
  and
• 18:55
  over
• 18:55
  again
• 18:56
  because
• 18:56
  our
• 18:57
  kids
• 18:57
  deserve
• 18:58
  better?
• 18:58
  Yeah.
• 18:59
  So
• 18:59
  I
• 18:59
  like
• 18:59
  to
• 19:00
  look
• 19:00
  at
• 19:00
  it
• 19:00
  is
• 19:01
  how
• 19:01
  are
• 19:02
  teachers
• 19:02
  and
• 19:02
  how
• 19:02
  are
• 19:03
  adults
• 19:03
  evolving
• 19:03
  for
• 19:04
  kids?
• 19:05
  Because
• 19:05
  sometimes
• 19:06
  we
• 19:06
  expect
• 19:06
  kids
• 19:06
  to
• 19:07
  come
• 19:07
  into
• 19:07
  our
• 19:07
  environments,
• 19:08
  into
• 19:08
  our
• 19:08
  systems,
• 19:09
  and
• 19:09
  assimilate,
• 19:11
  and
• 19:12
  that's
• 19:12
  not
• 19:12
  what
• 19:13
  we're
• 19:13
  looking
• 19:13
  for.
• 19:13
  We're
• 19:14
  not
• 19:14
  trying
• 19:14
  to
• 19:14
  fix
• 19:15
  kids.
• 19:15
  Right.
• 19:15
  We're
• 19:16
  trying
• 19:16
  to
• 19:16
  make
• 19:16
  sure
• 19:16
  that
• 19:17
  environments
• 19:18
  actually
• 19:18
  meet
• 19:19
  up,
• 19:19
  meet
• 19:19
  kids
• 19:19
  where
• 19:19
  they
• 19:20
  are,
• 19:20
  and
• 19:21
  help
• 19:22
  kids
• 19:22
  thrive.
• 19:22
  Right.
• 19:23
  But
• 19:23
  sometimes
• 19:23
  we
• 19:23
  get
• 19:24
  kids
• 19:24
  in
• 19:24
  our
• 19:24
  environment,
• 19:25
  and
• 19:25
  the
• 19:25
  first
• 19:25
  thing
• 19:25
  we're
• 19:26
  trying
• 19:26
  to
• 19:26
  do
• 19:26
  is
• 19:26
  correct
• 19:27
  who
• 19:27
  they
• 19:27
  are,
• 19:28
  correct
• 19:28
  their
• 19:28
  behavior,
• 19:29
  instead
• 19:30
  of
• 19:30
  trying
• 19:30
  to
• 19:30
  get
• 19:30
  to
• 19:30
  know
• 19:31
  who
• 19:31
  they
• 19:31
  are
• 19:32
  and
• 19:32
  actually
• 19:32
  meeting
• 19:33
  kids
• 19:33
  where
• 19:33
  they
• 19:33
  are
• 19:34
  to
• 19:34
  move
• 19:34
  things
• 19:35
  forward.
• 19:36
  So
• 19:36
  I
• 19:37
  think
• 19:38
  part
• 19:38
  of
• 19:39
  it
• 19:39
  is,
• 19:39
  though,
• 19:39
  things
• 19:39
  don't
• 19:40
  get
• 19:40
  better
• 19:40
  without
• 19:40
  conversations,
• 19:42
  without
• 19:42
  having
• 19:42
  conversations,
• 19:43
  without
• 19:43
  talking
• 19:44
  about
• 19:44
  some
• 19:45
  of
• 19:45
  the
• 19:45
  realities.
• 19:46
  And
• 19:47
  I
• 19:47
  often
• 19:47
  quote
• 19:47
  the
• 19:47
  Jim
• 19:48
  Collins
• 19:48
  Good
• 19:48
  to
• 19:48
  great
• 19:48
  where
• 19:49
  he
• 19:49
  says,
• 19:49
  things
• 19:49
  don't
• 19:49
  improve
• 19:50
  unless
• 19:50
  brutal
• 19:50
  facts
• 19:51
  are
• 19:51
  confronted.
• 19:52
  So
• 19:52
  what
• 19:52
  that
• 19:53
  tells
• 19:53
  you
• 19:53
  is
• 19:53
  we
• 19:54
  can't
• 19:54
  get
• 19:54
  better
• 19:54
  if
• 19:54
  we
• 19:55
  don't
• 19:55
  talk
• 19:55
  about
• 19:55
  our
• 19:56
  condition,
• 19:56
  if
• 19:56
  we
• 19:56
  don't
• 19:56
  have
• 19:56
  an
• 19:57
  honest
• 19:57
  reality
• 19:57
  and
• 19:58
  an
• 19:58
  honest
• 19:58
  picture
• 19:59
  of.
• 19:59
  Of
• 19:59
  our
• 19:59
  current
• 20:00
  state,
• 20:00
  there's
• 20:01
  no
• 20:01
  way
• 20:01
  for
• 20:01
  us
• 20:01
  to
• 20:02
  make
• 20:02
  anything
• 20:02
  better
• 20:02
  for
• 20:02
  our
• 20:03
  kids.
• 20:04
  So
• 20:04
  we
• 20:04
  have
• 20:04
  to
• 20:05
  make
• 20:05
  sure
• 20:06
  that
• 20:06
  as
• 20:06
  we're
• 20:06
  developing
• 20:07
  our
• 20:07
  leaders,
• 20:07
  we're
• 20:08
  developing
• 20:08
  our
• 20:08
  teachers,
• 20:09
  we're
• 20:09
  creating
• 20:09
  a
• 20:09
  norm
• 20:11
  around
• 20:11
  talking
• 20:12
  about
• 20:12
  our
• 20:12
  current
• 20:13
  realities.
• 20:14
  Like,
• 20:15
  if
• 20:15
  I'm
• 20:15
  struggling,
• 20:16
  I'm
• 20:16
  vulnerable
• 20:17
  enough
• 20:17
  to
• 20:17
  admit
• 20:18
  that
• 20:18
  I'm
• 20:18
  struggling
• 20:18
  and
• 20:19
  where
• 20:19
  I'm
• 20:19
  struggling.
• 20:20
  And
• 20:21
  the
• 20:21
  last
• 20:21
  thing
• 20:21
  I
• 20:21
  will
• 20:21
  say
• 20:22
  that
• 20:22
  I
• 20:22
  often
• 20:22
  think
• 20:22
  about
• 20:23
  is
• 20:23
  when
• 20:23
  we're
• 20:24
  thinking
• 20:24
  about,
• 20:24
  we
• 20:25
  started
• 20:25
  off
• 20:25
  with
• 20:25
  like
• 20:25
  the
• 20:25
  belief
• 20:26
  gap
• 20:26
  and
• 20:26
  all
• 20:26
  this
• 20:27
  is
• 20:27
  that
• 20:28
  oftentimes
• 20:29
  the
• 20:30
  ones
• 20:30
  that
• 20:30
  are,
• 20:31
  that
• 20:31
  are
• 20:31
  impacting
• 20:32
  our
• 20:32
  kids
• 20:32
  in
• 20:32
  a
• 20:32
  certain
• 20:33
  way
• 20:33
  are
• 20:33
  the
• 20:33
  ones
• 20:33
  that
• 20:34
  are
• 20:34
  well
• 20:34
  meaning.
• 20:35
  They're
• 20:36
  the
• 20:36
  ones
• 20:36
  that,
• 20:36
  that,
• 20:36
  that,
• 20:37
  that
• 20:37
  are
• 20:37
  thinking
• 20:38
  that
• 20:38
  they're
• 20:38
  doing
• 20:38
  the
• 20:38
  well
• 20:39
  meaning
• 20:39
  thing,
• 20:39
  but
• 20:40
  it
• 20:40
  ends
• 20:40
  up
• 20:40
  impacting
• 20:41
  kids
• 20:41
  in
• 20:41
  a
• 20:41
  way
• 20:41
  that's
• 20:42
  not
• 20:42
  beneficial,
• 20:43
  you
• 20:43
  know.
• 20:43
  And
• 20:44
  so,
• 20:44
  and
• 20:44
  I
• 20:44
  tell
• 20:45
  a
• 20:45
  story
• 20:45
  in
• 20:45
  the
• 20:46
  book
• 20:47
  of
• 20:47
  a
• 20:47
  student,
• 20:47
  Jalen,
• 20:48
  who
• 20:49
  was
• 20:49
  a
• 20:50
  6th
• 20:50
  grader
• 20:51
  who
• 20:51
  scores
• 20:52
  in
• 20:52
  the
• 20:52
  11th
• 20:52
  grade
• 20:54
  math
• 20:54
  level.
• 20:55
  Right
• 20:55
  at
• 20:55
  the
• 20:56
  11th
• 20:56
  grade,
• 20:57
  the
• 20:57
  teacher
• 20:58
  recommends
• 20:58
  him
• 20:58
  for
• 20:58
  the
• 20:59
  gifted
• 20:59
  program.
• 20:59
  She
• 21:00
  was
• 21:00
  a
• 21:00
  white
• 21:00
  teacher,
• 21:00
  he's
• 21:00
  a
• 21:01
  black
• 21:01
  student,
• 21:02
  and
• 21:02
  when
• 21:03
  he
• 21:03
  goes
• 21:03
  into
• 21:03
  seventh
• 21:04
  grade,
• 21:05
  something
• 21:05
  happens
• 21:06
  and
• 21:06
  she
• 21:06
  decides
• 21:06
  not
• 21:07
  to
• 21:07
  recommend
• 21:07
  him
• 21:07
  for
• 21:07
  the
• 21:08
  highest
• 21:08
  math
• 21:08
  program.
• 21:09
  She
• 21:09
  decided,
• 21:10
  even
• 21:10
  though
• 21:10
  he
• 21:10
  scored
• 21:11
  in
• 21:11
  the
• 21:11
  11th
• 21:11
  grade
• 21:12
  level.
• 21:12
  And
• 21:12
  this
• 21:13
  is
• 21:13
  what
• 21:13
  she
• 21:13
  says
• 21:13
  to
• 21:13
  the
• 21:14
  parents,
• 21:14
  that
• 21:15
  she
• 21:15
  did
• 21:15
  not
• 21:15
  recommend
• 21:16
  him
• 21:16
  because
• 21:16
  she
• 21:16
  didn't
• 21:16
  think
• 21:17
  he
• 21:17
  would
• 21:17
  want
• 21:17
  to,
• 21:17
  quote,
• 21:17
  live
• 21:18
  for
• 21:18
  math.
• 21:18
  She
• 21:19
  didn't
• 21:19
  think
• 21:19
  he
• 21:19
  would
• 21:19
  want
• 21:20
  to
• 21:20
  live
• 21:20
  for
• 21:20
  math.
• 21:20
  And
• 21:21
  she
• 21:21
  says
• 21:21
  that
• 21:22
  it's
• 21:22
  going
• 21:22
  to
• 21:22
  take
• 21:23
  two
• 21:23
  hours
• 21:23
  of
• 21:23
  doing
• 21:24
  homework.
• 21:25
  And
• 21:25
  she
• 21:25
  thought
• 21:26
  that
• 21:26
  he
• 21:26
  would
• 21:26
  have
• 21:26
  other
• 21:26
  things
• 21:27
  like
• 21:27
  sports
• 21:27
  and
• 21:27
  other
• 21:28
  activities
• 21:28
  he
• 21:28
  would
• 21:28
  want
• 21:29
  to
• 21:29
  be
• 21:29
  engaged
• 21:29
  in.
• 21:30
  But
• 21:30
  here's
• 21:31
  the
• 21:31
  kicker,
• 21:31
  you
• 21:32
  all
• 21:32
  is
• 21:32
  that
• 21:33
  this
• 21:33
  is
• 21:33
  a
• 21:33
  teacher
• 21:34
  that
• 21:34
  is
• 21:34
  requested
• 21:35
  every
• 21:35
  year,
• 21:36
  highly
• 21:36
  recommended
• 21:37
  by
• 21:37
  families
• 21:37
  and
• 21:37
  parents.
• 21:38
  What
• 21:38
  I'm
• 21:39
  saying
• 21:39
  is
• 21:39
  people
• 21:40
  don't
• 21:40
  know
• 21:40
  what
• 21:40
  they
• 21:40
  don't
• 21:41
  know.
• 21:42
  And
• 21:42
  unless
• 21:42
  somebody's
• 21:43
  willing
• 21:43
  to
• 21:43
  have
• 21:43
  a
• 21:43
  conversation
• 21:44
  with
• 21:44
  this
• 21:44
  teacher,
• 21:45
  guess
• 21:45
  what
• 21:46
  happens
• 21:46
  with
• 21:46
  this
• 21:46
  practice
• 21:47
  every
• 21:47
  single
• 21:47
  year.
• 21:48
  It
• 21:48
  continues.
• 21:49
  And
• 21:50
  what
• 21:50
  the
• 21:50
  teacher
• 21:50
  doesn't
• 21:51
  recognize
• 21:51
  is
• 21:52
  she's
• 21:52
  actually
• 21:52
  perpetuating
• 21:53
  the
• 21:53
  problem
• 21:54
  of
• 21:54
  the
• 21:54
  achievement
• 21:55
  gap
• 21:55
  or
• 21:55
  black
• 21:55
  males
• 21:56
  missing
• 21:56
  from
• 21:57
  math
• 21:57
  classrooms.
• 21:58
  So
• 21:59
  what
• 21:59
  I'm
• 21:59
  advocating
• 22:00
  for
• 22:00
  is
• 22:01
  silence
• 22:01
  breeds
• 22:02
  inequity.
• 22:03
  If
• 22:03
  we
• 22:04
  continue
• 22:04
  to
• 22:04
  remain
• 22:05
  silent,
• 22:05
  we
• 22:06
  will
• 22:06
  not
• 22:06
  close
• 22:06
  any
• 22:07
  gaps.
• 22:07
  If
• 22:07
  we're
• 22:08
  not
• 22:08
  willing
• 22:08
  to
• 22:08
  have
• 22:08
  the
• 22:09
  tough
• 22:09
  conversations,
• 22:10
  this
• 22:11
  boy
• 22:11
  or
• 22:12
  this
• 22:12
  student,
• 22:12
  this
• 22:13
  black
• 22:13
  male,
• 22:14
  gets
• 22:14
  on
• 22:14
  a
• 22:15
  path
• 22:15
  that's
• 22:15
  so
• 22:15
  commonly
• 22:16
  placed
• 22:16
  for
• 22:16
  so
• 22:17
  many
• 22:17
  of
• 22:17
  our
• 22:17
  black
• 22:17
  students,
• 22:18
  and
• 22:18
  nobody
• 22:19
  intervenes.
• 22:21
  So
• 22:21
  we've
• 22:21
  got
• 22:22
  to
• 22:22
  be
• 22:22
  willing
• 22:22
  to
• 22:22
  have
• 22:23
  the
• 22:23
  conversations
• 22:23
  that
• 22:24
  nobody
• 22:24
  else
• 22:24
  is
• 22:24
  willing
• 22:25
  to
• 22:25
  have.
• 22:26
  If
• 22:26
  we're
• 22:26
  truly
• 22:26
  about
• 22:27
  kids,
• 22:28
  each
• 22:28
  kid,
• 22:28
  not
• 22:29
  all
• 22:29
  kids.
• 22:30
  So
• 22:30
  in
• 22:31
  past
• 22:32
  sessions
• 22:33
  we've
• 22:33
  had
• 22:34
  conversations
• 22:34
  around
• 22:35
  privilege
• 22:36
  and
• 22:36
  power
• 22:38
  and
• 22:38
  control.
• 22:40
  And
• 22:40
  in
• 22:41
  the
• 22:41
  situation
• 22:41
  with
• 22:42
  Jaylen
• 22:43
  and
• 22:43
  his
• 22:43
  teacher,
• 22:45
  the
• 22:45
  teacher
• 22:45
  took
• 22:46
  away
• 22:46
  his
• 22:46
  choice.
• 22:47
  That's
• 22:47
  right.
• 22:48
  And
• 22:50
  that
• 22:52
  in
• 22:52
  her
• 22:52
  mental
• 22:53
  model,
• 22:54
  he
• 22:54
  wanted
• 22:55
  other
• 22:55
  options.
• 22:56
  But
• 22:57
  without
• 22:57
  the
• 22:57
  conversation
• 22:58
  and
• 22:58
  the
• 22:58
  ask,
• 22:59
  she
• 23:00
  made
• 23:00
  a
• 23:00
  real
• 23:00
  poor
• 23:01
  choice
• 23:02
  that
• 23:02
  changes
• 23:02
  his
• 23:03
  educational
• 23:04
  trajectory.
• 23:05
  So
• 23:05
  we,
• 23:05
  you
• 23:06
  know,
• 23:06
  it's.
• 23:07
  And
• 23:07
  she
• 23:07
  has
• 23:08
  the
• 23:08
  power
• 23:08
  and
• 23:08
  the
• 23:09
  privilege
• 23:09
  to
• 23:09
  do
• 23:09
  that,
• 23:10
  not
• 23:10
  because
• 23:11
  of
• 23:11
  her
• 23:11
  whiteness,
• 23:12
  but
• 23:12
  because
• 23:12
  she's
• 23:13
  the
• 23:13
  teacher
• 23:13
  in
• 23:13
  that
• 23:13
  classroom.
• 23:14
  Right.
• 23:15
  So
• 23:17
  I
• 23:17
  want
• 23:17
  us
• 23:17
  to
• 23:18
  think
• 23:18
  as
• 23:18
  educators,
• 23:21
  are
• 23:21
  we
• 23:21
  having
• 23:21
  those
• 23:22
  critical
• 23:22
  conversations?
• 23:24
  Are
• 23:24
  we
• 23:24
  co
• 23:25
  creating
• 23:25
  the
• 23:26
  educational
• 23:26
  space
• 23:27
  with
• 23:27
  our
• 23:28
  students
• 23:29
  or
• 23:29
  are
• 23:29
  we
• 23:30
  making
• 23:32
  decisions
• 23:33
  that
• 23:33
  could
• 23:34
  really
• 23:34
  be
• 23:34
  detrimental
• 23:35
  to
• 23:36
  their
• 23:36
  educational
• 23:37
  outcomes?
• 23:38
  Yeah.
• 23:38
  And
• 23:39
  we're
• 23:39
  oftentimes
• 23:40
  what
• 23:40
  I
• 23:40
  call
• 23:40
  playing
• 23:40
  gatekeeper.
• 23:42
  Right.
• 23:43
  To
• 23:43
  who
• 23:43
  gets
• 23:43
  access
• 23:44
  and
• 23:45
  who
• 23:45
  doesn't.
• 23:46
  And
• 23:47
  the
• 23:47
  harsh
• 23:48
  reality
• 23:48
  is,
• 23:49
  to
• 23:49
  your
• 23:49
  point,
• 23:49
  that
• 23:50
  split
• 23:50
  second
• 23:50
  decision
• 23:52
  creates
• 23:52
  a
• 23:53
  life
• 23:53
  condition.
• 23:54
  Right.
• 23:55
  That
• 23:55
  could
• 23:56
  take
• 23:56
  years
• 23:57
  and
• 23:57
  sometimes
• 23:57
  we
• 23:58
  often
• 23:58
  never
• 23:58
  reverse.
• 23:59
  Right.
• 23:59
  And
• 24:00
  so
• 24:00
  we
• 24:00
  have
• 24:01
  to
• 24:01
  understand
• 24:02
  that
• 24:02
  it's
• 24:03
  a
• 24:03
  critical
• 24:03
  decision.
• 24:04
  And
• 24:05
  you're
• 24:05
  right.
• 24:05
  We
• 24:06
  have
• 24:06
  to
• 24:06
  sit
• 24:06
  and
• 24:06
  understand
• 24:07
  sometimes
• 24:08
  our
• 24:09
  own
• 24:09
  privilege,
• 24:09
  our
• 24:10
  own,
• 24:10
  and
• 24:11
  how
• 24:11
  it's
• 24:11
  impacting
• 24:12
  how
• 24:12
  we're
• 24:13
  viewing
• 24:13
  or
• 24:13
  how
• 24:13
  we
• 24:13
  assume
• 24:15
  everyone
• 24:15
  else
• 24:15
  lives
• 24:16
  their
• 24:16
  life.
• 24:16
  Right.
• 24:16
  Or
• 24:17
  what
• 24:17
  they
• 24:17
  desire
• 24:18
  and
• 24:19
  actually
• 24:19
  put
• 24:19
  it
• 24:19
  out
• 24:19
  there
• 24:19
  and
• 24:20
  provide
• 24:20
  the
• 24:20
  choice
• 24:21
  and
• 24:21
  the
• 24:21
  ability
• 24:21
  to
• 24:22
  make
• 24:22
  their
• 24:22
  own
• 24:22
  decisions.
• 24:24
  Those
• 24:24
  are
• 24:24
  the
• 24:25
  mental
• 24:25
  models,
• 24:26
  those
• 24:26
  are
• 24:26
  the
• 24:27
  mental
• 24:27
  models
• 24:27
  that
• 24:27
  we
• 24:28
  have
• 24:28
  to
• 24:28
  really
• 24:28
  sit
• 24:29
  down
• 24:29
  with
• 24:30
  in
• 24:30
  self
• 24:30
  reflection.
• 24:31
  Dr.
• 24:31
  C.
• 24:32
  And
• 24:32
  sit
• 24:33
  with
• 24:33
  those
• 24:34
  and
• 24:35
  see
• 24:35
  what
• 24:35
  we
• 24:36
  carrying
• 24:36
  in.
• 24:37
  That's
• 24:37
  right.
• 24:37
  I
• 24:38
  like
• 24:38
  that.
• 24:39
  Yeah.
• 24:40
  But
• 24:41
  our
• 24:41
  educators,
• 24:42
  leaders
• 24:43
  and
• 24:43
  teachers
• 24:44
  alike
• 24:45
  have
• 24:46
  to
• 24:46
  be
• 24:46
  brave
• 24:46
  enough
• 24:47
  to
• 24:48
  enter
• 24:48
  into
• 24:49
  this
• 24:50
  work.
• 24:51
  Right.
• 24:52
  We
• 24:52
  have
• 24:52
  to
• 24:52
  get
• 24:53
  beyond.
• 24:55
  You
• 24:55
  know,
• 24:55
  I'm
• 24:56
  not
• 24:56
  a
• 24:56
  fan
• 24:56
  of
• 24:56
  evaluation.
• 24:57
  In
• 24:58
  fact,
• 24:58
  I'm
• 24:58
  very
• 24:58
  critical
• 24:59
  of
• 24:59
  evaluation.
• 25:00
  We
• 25:00
  have
• 25:00
  to
• 25:01
  get
• 25:01
  beyond
• 25:02
  ratings
• 25:03
  and
• 25:03
  all
• 25:03
  of
• 25:03
  this
• 25:03
  ridiculousness
• 25:05
  that
• 25:06
  has
• 25:06
  done
• 25:06
  nothing
• 25:07
  to
• 25:07
  support
• 25:08
  what
• 25:08
  we're
• 25:08
  talking
• 25:09
  about
• 25:09
  today.
• 25:10
  And
• 25:10
  we've
• 25:10
  got
• 25:11
  to
• 25:11
  get
• 25:11
  people
• 25:12
  ready
• 25:13
  to
• 25:13
  be
• 25:13
  self
• 25:14
  reflective
• 25:14
  and
• 25:14
  to
• 25:15
  be
• 25:15
  and
• 25:15
  to
• 25:16
  engage
• 25:16
  in
• 25:16
  these
• 25:17
  critical,
• 25:18
  this
• 25:19
  critical
• 25:19
  work
• 25:19
  and
• 25:19
  these
• 25:20
  critical
• 25:20
  conversations.
• 25:21
  If
• 25:21
  we're
• 25:21
  going
• 25:21
  to
• 25:21
  move
• 25:21
  forward,
• 25:22
  we
• 25:22
  have
• 25:22
  to
• 25:23
  stop
• 25:23
  placating
• 25:24
  adults,
• 25:25
  have
• 25:26
  to
• 25:26
  stop
• 25:26
  placating
• 25:27
  adults
• 25:28
  and
• 25:28
  be
• 25:28
  willing
• 25:29
  to
• 25:30
  have
• 25:30
  these
• 25:31
  conversations
• 25:33
  or
• 25:34
  as
• 25:35
  we
• 25:35
  have
• 25:35
  said
• 25:36
  this
• 25:36
  just
• 25:37
  the
• 25:37
  cycle
• 25:38
  will
• 25:39
  continue.
• 25:41
  I
• 25:41
  really
• 25:42
  like
• 25:42
  that.
• 25:42
  And
• 25:42
  you
• 25:43
  made
• 25:43
  me
• 25:43
  think
• 25:43
  of
• 25:44
  a
• 25:44
  quote
• 25:44
  that
• 25:45
  a
• 25:45
  mentor
• 25:45
  once
• 25:46
  said
• 25:46
  to
• 25:46
  me
• 25:47
  is
• 25:47
  he
• 25:47
  said
• 25:47
  when
• 25:47
  we
• 25:47
  don't
• 25:48
  tell
• 25:48
  adults
• 25:48
  the
• 25:48
  truth,
• 25:49
  we
• 25:49
  lie
• 25:49
  to
• 25:49
  children.
• 25:51
  And
• 25:51
  he
• 25:51
  said
• 25:51
  anytime
• 25:52
  we're
• 25:52
  not
• 25:52
  willing
• 25:53
  to
• 25:53
  tell
• 25:53
  an
• 25:54
  adult
• 25:54
  something
• 25:54
  that
• 25:55
  they
• 25:55
  need
• 25:55
  to
• 25:55
  hear
• 25:56
  or
• 25:56
  to
• 25:56
  help
• 25:56
  them
• 25:56
  get
• 25:57
  better.
• 25:57
  We
• 25:57
  lie
• 25:57
  to
• 25:57
  kids
• 25:58
  when
• 25:58
  we
• 25:58
  tell
• 25:58
  them
• 25:58
  that
• 25:58
  their
• 25:58
  future
• 25:59
  matters.
• 26:00
  We
• 26:00
  lie
• 26:00
  to
• 26:00
  kids
• 26:01
  when
• 26:01
  we
• 26:01
  tell
• 26:01
  them
• 26:01
  that
• 26:01
  we
• 26:02
  are
• 26:02
  here
• 26:02
  for
• 26:02
  them.
• 26:03
  And
• 26:03
  so
• 26:04
  we
• 26:04
  have
• 26:04
  to
• 26:04
  understand
• 26:05
  that
• 26:05
  we
• 26:05
  have
• 26:06
  to
• 26:06
  be
• 26:06
  willing
• 26:06
  to
• 26:07
  have
• 26:07
  that
• 26:07
  talk,
• 26:08
  have
• 26:09
  that
• 26:09
  conversation
• 26:09
  in
• 26:10
  order
• 26:10
  to
• 26:10
  make
• 26:10
  better
• 26:11
  the
• 26:11
  situations
• 26:12
  and
• 26:12
  the
• 26:12
  conditions
• 26:12
  for
• 26:13
  our
• 26:13
  kids.
• 26:13
  Every
• 26:13
  single
• 26:14
  Day
• 26:15
  the
• 26:15
  conversations
• 26:16
  have
• 26:16
  to
• 26:16
  move
• 26:16
  beyond
• 26:18
  questions
• 26:18
  of
• 26:18
  engagement
• 26:19
  in
• 26:19
  classrooms.
• 26:20
  And
• 26:20
  I
• 26:20
  walked
• 26:20
  into
• 26:21
  your
• 26:21
  classroom
• 26:21
  and
• 26:21
  I
• 26:21
  saw
• 26:22
  a
• 26:22
  kid
• 26:22
  who
• 26:23
  wasn't
• 26:23
  looking
• 26:23
  at
• 26:23
  you
• 26:24
  right.
• 26:25
  To
• 26:25
  something
• 26:26
  that
• 26:26
  really
• 26:26
  matters,
• 26:27
  to
• 26:28
  things
• 26:28
  that
• 26:28
  really
• 26:29
  matter.
• 26:30
  And
• 26:30
  that
• 26:31
  requires
• 26:32
  that
• 26:32
  leaders.
• 26:33
  And
• 26:34
  here
• 26:34
  I'm
• 26:34
  talking
• 26:34
  about
• 26:35
  principal
• 26:36
  leaders
• 26:36
  and
• 26:37
  these
• 26:37
  leaders
• 26:38
  who
• 26:38
  are
• 26:39
  in
• 26:39
  classrooms
• 26:40
  enough.
• 26:40
  Who
• 26:41
  understand
• 26:41
  what's
• 26:42
  happening
• 26:42
  in
• 26:43
  the
• 26:43
  relationships
• 26:44
  between
• 26:44
  students
• 26:44
  and
• 26:44
  teachers
• 26:45
  on
• 26:45
  a
• 26:45
  daily
• 26:45
  basis
• 26:46
  and
• 26:46
  who
• 26:46
  are
• 26:47
  empowered
• 26:48
  and
• 26:49
  courageous
• 26:49
  enough
• 26:49
  to
• 26:50
  have
• 26:50
  these
• 26:50
  conversations
• 26:51
  and
• 26:51
  to
• 26:52
  guide
• 26:52
  folks
• 26:55
  in
• 26:55
  these
• 26:55
  critical
• 26:56
  reflections.
• 26:57
  So
• 26:58
  if
• 26:58
  in
• 26:58
  my
• 26:59
  classroom
• 26:59
  I
• 27:00
  want
• 27:00
  to
• 27:00
  be
• 27:00
  courageous,
• 27:02
  but
• 27:02
  the
• 27:02
  top
• 27:03
  of
• 27:03
  the
• 27:03
  pyramid
• 27:05
  is
• 27:05
  oppressive,
• 27:07
  that
• 27:07
  I'm
• 27:07
  going
• 27:07
  to
• 27:07
  resort
• 27:08
  back
• 27:08
  into
• 27:08
  my
• 27:09
  safe
• 27:09
  space,
• 27:10
  which
• 27:10
  is
• 27:10
  the
• 27:10
  classroom.
• 27:12
  So
• 27:12
  it
• 27:12
  has
• 27:12
  to
• 27:12
  be
• 27:13
  a
• 27:13
  trickle
• 27:13
  up
• 27:13
  and
• 27:13
  a
• 27:14
  trickle
• 27:14
  down,
• 27:15
  or
• 27:15
  else
• 27:16
  there's
• 27:16
  a
• 27:16
  major
• 27:17
  break
• 27:18
  in
• 27:18
  the
• 27:18
  system.
• 27:19
  Because
• 27:20
  I
• 27:20
  can't
• 27:20
  have
• 27:21
  fear,
• 27:22
  because
• 27:22
  I
• 27:22
  want
• 27:23
  to
• 27:23
  be
• 27:23
  courageous.
• 27:25
  Because
• 27:25
  then
• 27:26
  I'm
• 27:26
  sitting
• 27:26
  in
• 27:26
  a
• 27:26
  space
• 27:27
  and
• 27:28
  somebody's
• 27:29
  eyeballing
• 27:29
  me,
• 27:30
  all
• 27:31
  right?
• 27:32
  And
• 27:32
  I'm
• 27:32
  shaking
• 27:33
  because
• 27:33
  I
• 27:33
  don't
• 27:33
  know
• 27:34
  what
• 27:34
  the
• 27:34
  outcome
• 27:35
  of
• 27:35
  my
• 27:35
  contract
• 27:36
  or
• 27:36
  my
• 27:37
  observation
• 27:37
  is
• 27:38
  going
• 27:38
  to
• 27:38
  be
• 27:38
  because
• 27:39
  I
• 27:39
  stepped
• 27:39
  up
• 27:40
  and
• 27:40
  I
• 27:40
  was
• 27:40
  courageous.
• 27:42
  That's
• 27:42
  that
• 27:43
  common
• 27:43
  talk.
• 27:44
  That's
• 27:44
  why
• 27:45
  we
• 27:45
  have
• 27:45
  to,
• 27:45
  like
• 27:46
  Dwayne
• 27:47
  said,
• 27:48
  what's
• 27:48
  the
• 27:48
  norm?
• 27:49
  The
• 27:49
  norm
• 27:49
  has
• 27:50
  to
• 27:50
  flow
• 27:50
  through
• 27:50
  the
• 27:50
  system.
• 27:51
  Right.
• 27:52
  What's
• 27:52
  the
• 27:53
  norm
• 27:53
  for
• 27:53
  this?
• 27:54
  So
• 27:54
  we
• 27:54
  all
• 27:54
  understand
• 27:55
  that
• 27:55
  we're
• 27:56
  safe.
• 27:57
  Right.
• 27:57
  And
• 27:57
  that
• 27:57
  we
• 27:57
  could
• 27:58
  trust
• 27:58
  the
• 27:58
  space
• 27:59
  where
• 27:59
  courage
• 27:59
  can
• 28:00
  exist.
• 28:01
  Having
• 28:01
  the
• 28:02
  courage
• 28:02
  to
• 28:03
  challenge
• 28:04
  the
• 28:04
  system
• 28:05
  because
• 28:05
  it's
• 28:05
  spot
• 28:06
  on.
• 28:06
  You
• 28:06
  know,
• 28:07
  we
• 28:07
  can
• 28:07
  continue
• 28:08
  to
• 28:08
  do
• 28:09
  things
• 28:09
  in
• 28:10
  isolation.
• 28:10
  Isolation.
• 28:11
  And
• 28:11
  we're
• 28:12
  not
• 28:12
  going
• 28:12
  to
• 28:12
  get
• 28:13
  anywhere.
• 28:13
  Our
• 28:14
  educational
• 28:14
  system
• 28:15
  is
• 28:15
  just
• 28:15
  going
• 28:15
  to
• 28:15
  continue
• 28:17
  to
• 28:17
  live
• 28:17
  the
• 28:17
  same
• 28:18
  cycles
• 28:18
  over
• 28:19
  and
• 28:19
  over
• 28:19
  again
• 28:20
  and
• 28:21
  more
• 28:21
  and
• 28:21
  more
• 28:22
  students
• 28:23
  are
• 28:23
  going
• 28:23
  to
• 28:24
  lose
• 28:24
  out.
• 28:25
  So
• 28:26
  if
• 28:26
  we
• 28:27
  have
• 28:27
  the
• 28:27
  courage
• 28:28
  to
• 28:28
  challenge
• 28:28
  our
• 28:29
  systems,
• 28:29
  that's
• 28:30
  every
• 28:30
  level.
• 28:31
  Because
• 28:32
  our
• 28:32
  principals
• 28:33
  have
• 28:33
  to
• 28:33
  be
• 28:33
  supported
• 28:35
  central
• 28:35
  by
• 28:35
  central
• 28:36
  office.
• 28:36
  Central
• 28:37
  office
• 28:37
  has
• 28:37
  to
• 28:37
  be
• 28:38
  supported.
• 28:39
  What
• 28:39
  does
• 28:39
  that
• 28:39
  look
• 28:40
  like?
• 28:41
  To
• 28:41
  ensure
• 28:42
  that
• 28:43
  every
• 28:43
  layer
• 28:44
  of
• 28:44
  the
• 28:45
  system
• 28:46
  is
• 28:46
  working
• 28:47
  towards
• 28:47
  the
• 28:48
  same
• 28:49
  common
• 28:50
  goals.
• 28:50
  Those
• 28:51
  beliefs,
• 28:52
  the
• 28:52
  language,
• 28:53
  all
• 28:54
  of
• 28:54
  those
• 28:54
  things.
• 28:56
  And
• 28:56
  if
• 28:57
  I'm
• 28:57
  going
• 28:57
  to
• 28:57
  step
• 28:57
  out,
• 28:58
  just
• 28:58
  like
• 28:58
  you
• 28:59
  said,
• 28:59
  Alicia,
• 29:00
  and
• 29:00
  have
• 29:00
  that
• 29:00
  courage,
• 29:01
  I
• 29:02
  have
• 29:02
  to
• 29:02
  know
• 29:03
  that
• 29:04
  somebody
• 29:05
  else
• 29:06
  is
• 29:06
  right
• 29:06
  there
• 29:06
  with
• 29:07
  me.
• 29:08
  Challenging
• 29:09
  that
• 29:09
  courage
• 29:09
  or
• 29:10
  having
• 29:10
  the
• 29:10
  courage
• 29:11
  to
• 29:11
  challenge
• 29:11
  as
• 29:12
  well.
• 29:12
  Yeah.
• 29:12
  I
• 29:12
  think
• 29:12
  you
• 29:13
  definitely
• 29:13
  have
• 29:13
  to
• 29:13
  create
• 29:14
  a
• 29:14
  permission
• 29:15
  structure
• 29:17
  that
• 29:17
  allows
• 29:17
  people
• 29:18
  to
• 29:18
  understand.
• 29:19
  But
• 29:19
  I
• 29:19
  think,
• 29:19
  you
• 29:20
  know,
• 29:20
  this
• 29:20
  notion
• 29:20
  of
• 29:21
  building
• 29:21
  coherence.
• 29:21
  Right.
• 29:22
  Everybody
• 29:23
  has
• 29:23
  to
• 29:23
  be
• 29:23
  clear
• 29:24
  on
• 29:24
  what
• 29:24
  the
• 29:24
  mission
• 29:24
  is.
• 29:25
  And
• 29:25
  you
• 29:26
  know,
• 29:26
  and
• 29:26
  honestly
• 29:27
  too,
• 29:27
  it's
• 29:28
  like,
• 29:28
  how
• 29:28
  about
• 29:28
  just
• 29:29
  do
• 29:29
  what
• 29:29
  we
• 29:29
  say?
• 29:30
  Like,
• 29:31
  like
• 29:31
  I
• 29:31
  said,
• 29:31
  it's
• 29:32
  written
• 29:32
  in
• 29:32
  our.
• 29:32
  It's
• 29:32
  Written
• 29:33
  in
• 29:33
  our
• 29:33
  statements.
• 29:33
  You
• 29:33
  all,
• 29:34
  like,
• 29:34
  it's
• 29:34
  educated.
• 29:34
  How
• 29:35
  about
• 29:35
  we
• 29:35
  just
• 29:35
  do
• 29:35
  what
• 29:35
  we
• 29:36
  say?
• 29:36
  Like,
• 29:36
  if
• 29:37
  we
• 29:37
  did
• 29:37
  that,
• 29:37
  it
• 29:37
  would
• 29:37
  all
• 29:38
  be
• 29:38
  solved.
• 29:39
  I
• 29:39
  mean,
• 29:39
  I
• 29:39
  don't.
• 29:40
  And
• 29:40
  that's
• 29:40
  why,
• 29:41
  like,
• 29:41
  my
• 29:41
  book,
• 29:41
  why
• 29:42
  I
• 29:42
  call
• 29:42
  it
• 29:42
  a
• 29:42
  practical.
• 29:43
  It's
• 29:43
  like
• 29:43
  I
• 29:43
  want
• 29:43
  to
• 29:43
  strip
• 29:43
  this
• 29:44
  thing
• 29:44
  down,
• 29:44
  right?
• 29:45
  Because
• 29:45
  sometimes
• 29:45
  I
• 29:45
  think
• 29:46
  it
• 29:46
  is
• 29:46
  complicated
• 29:47
  nuance,
• 29:47
  but
• 29:48
  I
• 29:48
  also
• 29:48
  think
• 29:48
  we
• 29:48
  complicate
• 29:49
  it,
• 29:49
  right?
• 29:50
  How
• 29:50
  about
• 29:50
  we
• 29:51
  all
• 29:51
  take
• 29:51
  a
• 29:51
  look
• 29:51
  at
• 29:51
  humanity,
• 29:52
  right?
• 29:52
  Like,
• 29:53
  how
• 29:53
  about
• 29:53
  we
• 29:53
  all
• 29:54
  really
• 29:54
  do
• 29:55
  what
• 29:55
  we
• 29:55
  say
• 29:55
  we're
• 29:56
  going
• 29:56
  to
• 29:56
  do
• 29:57
  and
• 29:57
  things
• 29:57
  will
• 29:58
  be
• 29:58
  fine.
• 29:59
  But
• 29:59
  the
• 29:59
  problem
• 29:59
  is
• 30:00
  adults
• 30:01
  start
• 30:01
  adulting.
• 30:02
  We
• 30:02
  start.
• 30:02
  We
• 30:03
  start
• 30:03
  thinking
• 30:03
  about
• 30:03
  things
• 30:04
  from
• 30:04
  our
• 30:04
  own
• 30:04
  lens
• 30:05
  and
• 30:05
  our
• 30:05
  own
• 30:05
  perspective.
• 30:06
  And
• 30:06
  we're
• 30:06
  wanting
• 30:07
  to
• 30:07
  fix
• 30:07
  kids,
• 30:07
  fix
• 30:08
  conditions
• 30:08
  and
• 30:08
  do
• 30:09
  all
• 30:09
  these
• 30:09
  different
• 30:09
  types
• 30:09
  of
• 30:10
  things.
• 30:10
  But
• 30:10
  what
• 30:10
  we're
• 30:10
  missing
• 30:11
  is
• 30:12
  our
• 30:12
  own
• 30:12
  introspection
• 30:13
  and
• 30:13
  our
• 30:13
  own
• 30:14
  how
• 30:14
  we
• 30:14
  show
• 30:14
  up
• 30:15
  in
• 30:15
  a
• 30:15
  space
• 30:16
  that
• 30:16
  impacts
• 30:16
  the
• 30:17
  experience
• 30:17
  of
• 30:17
  our
• 30:17
  kids,
• 30:18
  but
• 30:18
  also
• 30:19
  how
• 30:19
  we
• 30:19
  help
• 30:19
  systems
• 30:20
  at
• 30:20
  the
• 30:20
  top
• 30:21
  begin
• 30:21
  to
• 30:21
  understand
• 30:22
  what
• 30:22
  true
• 30:22
  support
• 30:23
  actually
• 30:23
  looks
• 30:23
  like.
• 30:24
  And
• 30:24
  it's
• 30:24
  not
• 30:24
  to
• 30:25
  evaluate
• 30:25
  people
• 30:26
  out
• 30:26
  or
• 30:26
  to
• 30:26
  sit
• 30:27
  there
• 30:27
  and
• 30:27
  look
• 30:27
  at
• 30:28
  people
• 30:28
  in
• 30:28
  that
• 30:28
  particular
• 30:29
  context.
• 30:30
  So
• 30:30
  it
• 30:30
  goes
• 30:30
  back
• 30:30
  to
• 30:30
  the,
• 30:31
  you
• 30:31
  know,
• 30:31
  to
• 30:31
  me,
• 30:31
  it's
• 30:31
  the
• 30:32
  fundamental
• 30:32
  purpose
• 30:32
  of
• 30:33
  what
• 30:33
  schooling
• 30:33
  is
• 30:34
  all
• 30:34
  about,
• 30:34
  right?
• 30:35
  Is
• 30:35
  it
• 30:35
  about.
• 30:35
  Is
• 30:36
  it
• 30:36
  this
• 30:36
  transactional
• 30:37
  relationship?
• 30:39
  Is
• 30:39
  it
• 30:40
  just
• 30:41
  about
• 30:42
  proficiency
• 30:42
  at
• 30:43
  the
• 30:43
  end
• 30:43
  of
• 30:43
  the
• 30:43
  year?
• 30:43
  Is
• 30:44
  it
• 30:44
  just
• 30:44
  about
• 30:45
  college
• 30:45
  and
• 30:45
  career
• 30:46
  readiness?
• 30:46
  Or
• 30:46
  is
• 30:47
  this
• 30:47
  really
• 30:47
  a
• 30:47
  place?
• 30:48
  Is
• 30:48
  this
• 30:48
  really
• 30:49
  an
• 30:49
  institution
• 30:50
  that
• 30:50
  is
• 30:51
  designed.
• 30:52
  Interested
• 30:52
  in
• 30:53
  growing
• 30:54
  human
• 30:54
  beings
• 30:55
  into
• 30:55
  their.
• 30:55
  Into
• 30:56
  their
• 30:56
  strongest
• 30:56
  potential?
• 30:57
  And.
• 30:57
  And
• 30:58
  I
• 30:58
  think
• 30:58
  we
• 30:58
  haven't
• 30:59
  grappled
• 30:59
  with
• 31:01
  what
• 31:01
  we're
• 31:01
  really
• 31:01
  all
• 31:02
  about
• 31:02
  and
• 31:03
  what
• 31:03
  we
• 31:03
  really
• 31:03
  want
• 31:03
  to
• 31:03
  bring
• 31:04
  to
• 31:04
  the
• 31:04
  table.
• 31:04
  And
• 31:04
  I
• 31:04
  think
• 31:05
  you
• 31:05
  lift
• 31:06
  it
• 31:06
  really
• 31:06
  well.
• 31:07
  We
• 31:07
  write
• 31:09
  these
• 31:09
  lofty
• 31:10
  things
• 31:10
  that
• 31:10
  we
• 31:10
  want
• 31:10
  to
• 31:11
  slap
• 31:11
  on
• 31:11
  our
• 31:11
  websites
• 31:12
  because
• 31:12
  it
• 31:12
  just
• 31:12
  looks
• 31:13
  really,
• 31:13
  really
• 31:13
  good.
• 31:14
  And
• 31:14
  yet
• 31:15
  in
• 31:15
  most
• 31:15
  cases,
• 31:16
  we
• 31:16
  don't
• 31:16
  have
• 31:16
  any
• 31:16
  intention
• 31:17
  of
• 31:17
  ever
• 31:17
  living
• 31:18
  into
• 31:18
  that
• 31:19
  because
• 31:19
  we're
• 31:19
  going
• 31:20
  to
• 31:20
  perpetuate
• 31:20
  what
• 31:20
  we
• 31:21
  already
• 31:21
  know
• 31:22
  to
• 31:22
  be
• 31:22
  able
• 31:23
  to
• 31:23
  do
• 31:23
  and
• 31:23
  to
• 31:24
  create
• 31:24
  these
• 31:24
  conditions
• 31:25
  means
• 31:26
  we've
• 31:26
  got
• 31:26
  to
• 31:26
  tear
• 31:26
  apart
• 31:28
  what's
• 31:28
  there.
• 31:28
  It's
• 31:28
  bigger
• 31:29
  than
• 31:29
  just
• 31:30
  putting
• 31:30
  a
• 31:30
  vision
• 31:30
  on
• 31:31
  a
• 31:31
  website,
• 31:31
  right?
• 31:32
  Living
• 31:32
  into
• 31:32
  it
• 31:33
  means
• 31:33
  something
• 31:33
  entirely
• 31:34
  different.
• 31:35
  I
• 31:35
  want
• 31:35
  people
• 31:35
  to
• 31:36
  understand
• 31:36
  the
• 31:36
  power
• 31:36
  that
• 31:36
  they
• 31:37
  possess.
• 31:38
  I
• 31:38
  think
• 31:38
  sometimes
• 31:39
  when
• 31:40
  teachers
• 31:41
  or
• 31:41
  people
• 31:42
  in
• 31:42
  systems,
• 31:42
  they
• 31:42
  think,
• 31:42
  but
• 31:43
  I'm
• 31:43
  just
• 31:43
  one
• 31:43
  person
• 31:43
  or
• 31:44
  I'm
• 31:44
  not
• 31:44
  so
• 31:44
  and
• 31:44
  so,
• 31:45
  or
• 31:45
  I'm
• 31:45
  not
• 31:45
  this
• 31:45
  and
• 31:46
  I
• 31:46
  don't
• 31:46
  have
• 31:46
  this
• 31:46
  role
• 31:46
  or
• 31:47
  that.
• 31:47
  You
• 31:48
  know,
• 31:49
  everybody
• 31:50
  has
• 31:50
  to
• 31:50
  start
• 31:50
  with
• 31:51
  their
• 31:51
  own
• 31:51
  local
• 31:51
  and
• 31:52
  immediate
• 31:52
  right?
• 31:52
  Like
• 31:53
  you
• 31:53
  have
• 31:53
  more
• 31:54
  power
• 31:54
  than
• 31:54
  you
• 31:54
  think
• 31:54
  you
• 31:54
  do.
• 31:56
  And
• 31:56
  so
• 31:56
  we
• 31:57
  have
• 31:57
  to
• 31:57
  get
• 31:57
  in
• 31:57
  this
• 31:57
  space
• 31:58
  where
• 31:59
  we
• 31:59
  don't
• 32:00
  limit
• 32:01
  our
• 32:01
  abilities
• 32:02
  to
• 32:03
  make
• 32:03
  change
• 32:03
  for
• 32:03
  our
• 32:04
  kids.
• 32:05
  So
• 32:06
  one
• 32:06
  of
• 32:06
  the
• 32:07
  things
• 32:07
  that
• 32:07
  I
• 32:07
  think
• 32:07
  we
• 32:07
  have
• 32:07
  to
• 32:08
  really
• 32:08
  begin
• 32:08
  to
• 32:08
  understand
• 32:10
  is
• 32:10
  that
• 32:11
  it
• 32:11
  has
• 32:11
  to
• 32:11
  start
• 32:11
  with
• 32:12
  one.
• 32:12
  And
• 32:13
  we've
• 32:13
  got
• 32:13
  to
• 32:13
  continue
• 32:13
  to
• 32:14
  build
• 32:14
  on
• 32:14
  this
• 32:15
  mindset,
• 32:15
  this
• 32:15
  belief
• 32:16
  that
• 32:16
  our
• 32:16
  kids
• 32:17
  do
• 32:17
  deserve
• 32:17
  better,
• 32:18
  because
• 32:18
  the
• 32:18
  data
• 32:19
  has
• 32:19
  told
• 32:19
  us
• 32:20
  what
• 32:20
  the
• 32:20
  data
• 32:20
  has
• 32:20
  told
• 32:21
  us
• 32:21
  for
• 32:21
  years,
• 32:22
  and
• 32:22
  we
• 32:22
  can't
• 32:22
  dispute
• 32:23
  that.
• 32:24
  So
• 32:25
  we
• 32:25
  have
• 32:26
  to
• 32:26
  begin
• 32:26
  to
• 32:26
  look
• 32:26
  at
• 32:26
  our
• 32:27
  systems,
• 32:27
  look
• 32:28
  at
• 32:28
  what
• 32:28
  we're
• 32:28
  doing,
• 32:28
  and
• 32:29
  approach
• 32:29
  things
• 32:30
  differently,
• 32:31
  on
• 32:31
  down
• 32:32
  to
• 32:32
  how
• 32:32
  we
• 32:32
  support
• 32:32
  our
• 32:33
  teachers,
• 32:33
  how
• 32:34
  we
• 32:34
  allow
• 32:34
  teachers
• 32:34
  to
• 32:35
  be
• 32:35
  vulnerable,
• 32:35
  right
• 32:35
  about
• 32:36
  what
• 32:36
  their
• 32:36
  challenges
• 32:36
  and
• 32:37
  weaknesses
• 32:37
  are,
• 32:37
  and
• 32:37
  not
• 32:38
  hold
• 32:38
  it
• 32:38
  against
• 32:38
  them.
• 32:39
  How
• 32:39
  do
• 32:39
  we
• 32:39
  actually
• 32:39
  build
• 32:40
  people
• 32:40
  to
• 32:40
  be
• 32:41
  better
• 32:41
  for
• 32:41
  our
• 32:41
  kids?
• 32:42
  But
• 32:42
  we
• 32:42
  have
• 32:43
  to
• 32:43
  start
• 32:43
  with
• 32:43
  our
• 32:43
  own
• 32:44
  individual
• 32:45
  power
• 32:46
  and
• 32:46
  begin
• 32:47
  to
• 32:47
  understand
• 32:47
  we
• 32:47
  have
• 32:48
  a
• 32:48
  responsibility,
• 32:49
  a
• 32:49
  moral
• 32:49
  imperative
• 32:51
  to
• 32:51
  do
• 32:51
  right
• 32:51
  by
• 32:52
  our
• 32:52
  kids.
• 32:53
  That's
• 32:53
  what
• 32:53
  we
• 32:53
  signed
• 32:54
  up
• 32:54
  for
• 32:54
  when
• 32:54
  we
• 32:54
  became
• 32:55
  educators,
• 32:56
  right?
• 32:56
  It's
• 32:56
  a
• 32:57
  moral
• 32:57
  imperative.
• 32:58
  There's
• 32:58
  not
• 32:58
  an
• 32:58
  opt
• 32:59
  out
• 32:59
  button
• 32:59
  here.
• 33:00
  We
• 33:00
  have
• 33:01
  to
• 33:01
  understand
• 33:01
  that
• 33:02
  we
• 33:02
  are
• 33:02
  committed
• 33:03
  to
• 33:03
  this
• 33:03
  work,
• 33:04
  despite
• 33:04
  what
• 33:05
  people
• 33:05
  want
• 33:05
  to
• 33:05
  say
• 33:05
  about
• 33:05
  DEI
• 33:06
  and
• 33:07
  all
• 33:07
  these
• 33:07
  different
• 33:07
  types
• 33:07
  of
• 33:08
  things.
• 33:08
  You
• 33:08
  could
• 33:09
  take
• 33:09
  out
• 33:09
  the
• 33:09
  term,
• 33:09
  but
• 33:10
  it
• 33:10
  doesn't
• 33:10
  change
• 33:10
  the
• 33:10
  mission
• 33:11
  and
• 33:11
  change
• 33:11
  the
• 33:11
  work.
• 33:12
  So
• 33:13
  at
• 33:13
  the
• 33:13
  end
• 33:13
  of
• 33:13
  the
• 33:13
  day,
• 33:14
  you
• 33:14
  know,
• 33:15
  we
• 33:15
  could
• 33:15
  argue
• 33:15
  about
• 33:16
  saying
• 33:16
  this
• 33:16
  and
• 33:16
  saying
• 33:16
  that,
• 33:17
  but
• 33:17
  you
• 33:18
  still
• 33:18
  have
• 33:18
  to
• 33:19
  accomplish
• 33:19
  the
• 33:19
  mission
• 33:20
  of
• 33:20
  making
• 33:20
  sure
• 33:20
  each
• 33:20
  kid
• 33:21
  that
• 33:21
  shows
• 33:22
  up
• 33:22
  in
• 33:22
  our
• 33:22
  environment
• 33:23
  and
• 33:23
  our
• 33:23
  cultures
• 33:24
  has
• 33:24
  an
• 33:25
  ability
• 33:25
  to
• 33:25
  thrive.
• 33:26
  And
• 33:27
  so
• 33:27
  we
• 33:27
  cannot
• 33:27
  be
• 33:28
  blockers
• 33:28
  of
• 33:29
  children's
• 33:29
  future.
• 33:30
  We
• 33:30
  have
• 33:30
  to
• 33:31
  stop
• 33:31
  that,
• 33:31
  stop
• 33:32
  blocking
• 33:32
  their
• 33:32
  potential
• 33:33
  because
• 33:33
  of
• 33:33
  what
• 33:33
  we
• 33:34
  think
• 33:34
  they're
• 33:34
  going
• 33:34
  to
• 33:34
  be,
• 33:35
  our
• 33:35
  projections.
• 33:36
  And
• 33:37
  I
• 33:37
  think
• 33:37
  about
• 33:37
  how
• 33:37
  many
• 33:38
  times
• 33:38
  as
• 33:38
  a
• 33:38
  teacher
• 33:39
  where
• 33:39
  I
• 33:39
  had
• 33:39
  kids
• 33:39
  that
• 33:40
  came
• 33:40
  back,
• 33:41
  that
• 33:41
  I
• 33:41
  was
• 33:41
  just
• 33:42
  blown
• 33:42
  away
• 33:43
  by
• 33:43
  things
• 33:43
  that
• 33:43
  they
• 33:43
  were
• 33:44
  doing.
• 33:44
  And
• 33:44
  so
• 33:45
  many
• 33:45
  people,
• 33:46
  kids
• 33:46
  that
• 33:47
  would
• 33:47
  tell
• 33:47
  me
• 33:47
  about
• 33:47
  teachers
• 33:48
  who
• 33:48
  maybe
• 33:49
  doubted
• 33:49
  them
• 33:50
  or
• 33:50
  had
• 33:50
  a
• 33:51
  comment
• 33:51
  about
• 33:51
  what
• 33:51
  they
• 33:51
  were
• 33:52
  going
• 33:52
  to
• 33:52
  be
• 33:52
  and
• 33:52
  what
• 33:52
  they
• 33:52
  were
• 33:52
  going
• 33:53
  to
• 33:53
  do
• 33:53
  in
• 33:53
  the
• 33:53
  future.
• 33:54
  We
• 33:54
  have
• 33:55
  to
• 33:55
  stop
• 33:56
  playing
• 33:56
  predictors
• 33:57
  of
• 33:57
  children's
• 33:57
  future
• 33:58
  and
• 33:58
  understand
• 33:58
  that
• 33:59
  the
• 33:59
  part
• 33:59
  that
• 33:59
  we
• 33:59
  play
• 34:00
  is
• 34:00
  to
• 34:00
  be
• 34:01
  builders.
• 34:02
  We're
• 34:02
  to
• 34:02
  build,
• 34:03
  and
• 34:03
  that
• 34:03
  starts
• 34:03
  with
• 34:04
  our
• 34:04
  individual
• 34:04
  power.
• 34:05
  And
• 34:06
  our
• 34:06
  main
• 34:06
  objective
• 34:07
  is
• 34:07
  to
• 34:07
  do
• 34:07
  no
• 34:07
  harm
• 34:08
  to
• 34:08
  kids.
• 34:09
  Probably
• 34:09
  a
• 34:10
  long
• 34:10
  way
• 34:10
  to
• 34:10
  answer
• 34:10
  your
• 34:10
  question,
• 34:11
  but
• 34:11
  I'm
• 34:11
  sorry,
• 34:11
  I
• 34:11
  just,
• 34:12
  I,
• 34:12
  I
• 34:12
  get
• 34:12
  on
• 34:12
  this,
• 34:13
  I
• 34:13
  get
• 34:13
  on
• 34:13
  this
• 34:14
  soapbox.
• 34:14
  If
• 34:14
  I
• 34:15
  can
• 34:15
  just
• 34:15
  real
• 34:15
  quick
• 34:15
  just
• 34:16
  tell
• 34:16
  you
• 34:16
  one
• 34:16
  of
• 34:16
  the
• 34:17
  things
• 34:17
  that
• 34:17
  I
• 34:17
  think
• 34:18
  when
• 34:18
  I
• 34:18
  talked
• 34:18
  about
• 34:18
  my
• 34:19
  kids,
• 34:19
  I
• 34:20
  realized
• 34:20
  that
• 34:20
  I'm
• 34:20
  privileged
• 34:21
  and
• 34:21
  blessed
• 34:22
  to
• 34:22
  live
• 34:23
  the
• 34:23
  life
• 34:23
  that
• 34:23
  I
• 34:23
  live.
• 34:24
  And
• 34:25
  there's
• 34:25
  a
• 34:25
  lot
• 34:25
  of
• 34:25
  people
• 34:25
  out
• 34:26
  there
• 34:26
  who
• 34:27
  don't
• 34:27
  know
• 34:28
  how
• 34:28
  to
• 34:28
  advocate
• 34:28
  in
• 34:29
  the
• 34:29
  same
• 34:29
  way
• 34:29
  that
• 34:29
  my
• 34:30
  wife
• 34:30
  and
• 34:30
  I
• 34:30
  do.
• 34:31
  Part
• 34:31
  of
• 34:31
  it
• 34:31
  was
• 34:31
  I
• 34:31
  started
• 34:32
  about
• 34:32
  my
• 34:32
  kids,
• 34:32
  but
• 34:33
  I
• 34:33
  recognize
• 34:33
  that
• 34:33
  everybody's
• 34:34
  kid
• 34:34
  is
• 34:34
  my
• 34:35
  kid
• 34:35
  when
• 34:35
  I'm
• 34:35
  an
• 34:35
  educator.
• 34:37
  So
• 34:37
  part
• 34:37
  of
• 34:38
  my
• 34:38
  responsibility
• 34:39
  is
• 34:40
  to
• 34:40
  make
• 34:40
  sure
• 34:41
  that
• 34:41
  not
• 34:42
  just
• 34:42
  my
• 34:42
  kids,
• 34:42
  but
• 34:43
  every
• 34:43
  kid
• 34:43
  that
• 34:43
  looks
• 34:44
  like
• 34:44
  my
• 34:44
  kid,
• 34:44
  doesn't
• 34:45
  look
• 34:45
  like
• 34:45
  my
• 34:45
  kid
• 34:45
  gets
• 34:46
  what
• 34:46
  they
• 34:46
  deserve.
• 34:46
  In
• 34:46
  our
• 34:47
  systems,
• 34:48
  and
• 34:48
  for
• 34:48
  so
• 34:49
  many
• 34:49
  years,
• 34:50
  we've
• 34:50
  fallen
• 34:51
  short.
• 34:51
  And
• 34:51
  so
• 34:52
  I'm
• 34:52
  waiting
• 34:52
  for
• 34:52
  the
• 34:53
  day
• 34:53
  where
• 34:53
  we
• 34:53
  have
• 34:54
  that
• 34:54
  pillar
• 34:54
  of
• 34:54
  excellence,
• 34:55
  right?
• 34:55
  That
• 34:55
  school
• 34:56
  system
• 34:56
  or
• 34:56
  that
• 34:56
  building
• 34:57
  that's
• 34:57
  doing
• 34:58
  the
• 34:58
  work,
• 34:58
  having
• 34:59
  the
• 34:59
  conversations,
• 34:59
  doing
• 35:00
  what
• 35:00
  they're
• 35:00
  supposed
• 35:01
  to
• 35:01
  do,
• 35:01
  that
• 35:02
  we
• 35:02
  can
• 35:02
  actually
• 35:02
  find
• 35:03
  an
• 35:03
  appropriate
• 35:04
  model
• 35:05
  because
• 35:05
  we
• 35:05
  don't
• 35:05
  have
• 35:05
  it.
• 35:06
  And
• 35:06
  if
• 35:06
  we
• 35:06
  were
• 35:06
  all
• 35:07
  doctors,
• 35:08
  we
• 35:08
  would
• 35:08
  be
• 35:08
  in
• 35:08
  trouble
• 35:09
  for
• 35:09
  producing
• 35:10
  the
• 35:10
  same
• 35:10
  results
• 35:10
  that
• 35:11
  we
• 35:11
  produce
• 35:11
  year
• 35:12
  after
• 35:12
  year
• 35:13
  for
• 35:13
  decades.
• 35:14
  Think
• 35:15
  about
• 35:15
  this.
• 35:15
  We
• 35:15
  wouldn't
• 35:15
  all
• 35:16
  go
• 35:16
  to
• 35:16
  the
• 35:16
  same
• 35:16
  doctor.
• 35:17
  The
• 35:17
  doctor
• 35:17
  said,
• 35:17
  well,
• 35:17
  here's
• 35:18
  the
• 35:18
  data.
• 35:18
  And
• 35:18
  the
• 35:18
  data
• 35:19
  has
• 35:19
  been
• 35:19
  the
• 35:19
  same
• 35:19
  since
• 35:20
  19.
• 35:21
  We
• 35:21
  wouldn't
• 35:22
  do
• 35:22
  it.
• 35:23
  But
• 35:23
  yet
• 35:24
  we
• 35:24
  have
• 35:24
  our
• 35:24
  kids
• 35:24
  walk
• 35:25
  through
• 35:25
  our
• 35:25
  doors
• 35:25
  and
• 35:26
  through
• 35:26
  our
• 35:26
  thresholds,
• 35:27
  and
• 35:27
  we're
• 35:27
  presenting
• 35:28
  the
• 35:28
  same
• 35:29
  predictable
• 35:29
  data
• 35:30
  based
• 35:30
  upon
• 35:30
  skin
• 35:31
  tone.
• 35:32
  Crazy.
• 35:33
  And
• 35:34
  there's
• 35:34
  always
• 35:34
  outliers,
• 35:35
  but
• 35:36
  based
• 35:36
  upon
• 35:36
  the
• 35:37
  color
• 35:37
  of
• 35:37
  a
• 35:37
  kid's
• 35:37
  skin,
• 35:38
  you
• 35:38
  could
• 35:38
  project
• 35:40
  where
• 35:40
  they
• 35:40
  fall
• 35:41
  academically
• 35:42
  across
• 35:42
  the
• 35:42
  country.
• 35:42
  And
• 35:43
  that
• 35:43
  presents
• 35:44
  a
• 35:44
  problem
• 35:45
  that
• 35:45
  we
• 35:45
  must
• 35:46
  fix
• 35:46
  and
• 35:47
  we
• 35:47
  are
• 35:47
  obligated
• 35:47
  to
• 35:48
  fix.
• 35:49
  So
• 35:49
  I
• 35:49
  just
• 35:49
  want
• 35:50
  our
• 35:50
  systems
• 35:50
  to
• 35:50
  deliver
• 35:51
  on
• 35:51
  the
• 35:51
  promise
• 35:52
  to
• 35:52
  be
• 35:52
  better.
• 35:52
  And
• 35:53
  do
• 35:53
  better
• 35:54
  today,
• 35:54
  today,
• 35:55
  not
• 35:56
  in
• 35:56
  20
• 35:56
  years.
• 35:56
  Let's
• 35:57
  do
• 35:57
  it
• 35:57
  today.
• 35:58
  Right?
• 35:59
  Let's
• 36:00
  do
• 36:00
  it
• 36:00
  today.
• 36:01
  I
• 36:02
  want
• 36:02
  to
• 36:02
  say
• 36:02
  thank
• 36:02
  you
• 36:02
  very
• 36:03
  much,
• 36:03
  Duane,
• 36:03
  Dr.
• 36:04
  Duane
• 36:04
  Chisholm
• 36:05
  for
• 36:05
  joining
• 36:05
  us
• 36:05
  today
• 36:06
  in
• 36:06
  the
• 36:06
  wheelhouse.
• 36:11
  Michael
• 36:11
  Piper.
• 36:12
  Welcome
• 36:13
  to
• 36:13
  the
• 36:14
  wheelhouse.
• 36:14
  How
• 36:14
  you
• 36:15
  doing?
• 36:15
  I'm
• 36:16
  doing
• 36:16
  great.
• 36:16
  So,
• 36:17
  you
• 36:17
  know,
• 36:18
  we
• 36:18
  have
• 36:18
  a
• 36:18
  new
• 36:19
  format
• 36:19
  when
• 36:19
  someone
• 36:19
  needs
• 36:20
  to
• 36:20
  be
• 36:20
  to
• 36:21
  step
• 36:21
  away.
• 36:21
  So
• 36:22
  I'm
• 36:22
  sorry
• 36:22
  you
• 36:23
  missed
• 36:23
  the
• 36:24
  conversation
• 36:25
  with
• 36:26
  Dr.
• 36:26
  Chisum
• 36:27
  the
• 36:27
  other
• 36:27
  day,
• 36:28
  but
• 36:28
  this
• 36:28
  will
• 36:28
  be
• 36:28
  really
• 36:28
  interesting
• 36:29
  to
• 36:29
  get
• 36:29
  your
• 36:29
  take
• 36:30
  and
• 36:31
  as
• 36:31
  you
• 36:31
  get
• 36:31
  to
• 36:31
  listen
• 36:32
  to
• 36:32
  it
• 36:32
  uninterrupted.
• 36:33
  Right.
• 36:34
  And
• 36:35
  even
• 36:35
  the
• 36:35
  unedited
• 36:36
  version
• 36:37
  first.
• 36:38
  Is
• 36:38
  he
• 36:39
  not
• 36:39
  amazing?
• 36:40
  He's
• 36:40
  wonderful.
• 36:41
  And
• 36:41
  it
• 36:42
  was
• 36:42
  interrupted
• 36:43
  because
• 36:43
  I
• 36:43
  found
• 36:43
  myself
• 36:44
  having
• 36:44
  to
• 36:45
  press
• 36:45
  pause
• 36:45
  on
• 36:45
  the
• 36:46
  sound
• 36:46
  file
• 36:47
  because
• 36:47
  I
• 36:47
  just
• 36:48
  needed
• 36:48
  to
• 36:48
  stop
• 36:48
  the
• 36:49
  conversation
• 36:49
  for
• 36:50
  a
• 36:50
  second
• 36:50
  and
• 36:50
  let
• 36:51
  things
• 36:51
  land
• 36:52
  a
• 36:52
  bit.
• 36:52
  And
• 36:53
  then
• 36:53
  write
• 36:53
  down,
• 36:53
  write
• 36:54
  down.
• 36:54
  Right.
• 36:54
  I
• 36:54
  was
• 36:54
  taking
• 36:55
  copious
• 36:55
  notes
• 36:55
  through
• 36:56
  the
• 36:56
  whole
• 36:56
  thing,
• 36:58
  but,
• 36:58
  you
• 36:59
  know,
• 36:59
  it
• 36:59
  was
• 36:59
  a
• 36:59
  back
• 37:00
  and
• 37:00
  forth
• 37:00
  because
• 37:01
  there
• 37:01
  were
• 37:01
  so
• 37:02
  many
• 37:03
  rich
• 37:03
  moments
• 37:04
  and
• 37:04
  insights
• 37:04
  that
• 37:05
  were
• 37:05
  happening.
• 37:06
  You
• 37:06
  know,
• 37:06
  the
• 37:07
  third
• 37:07
  thing
• 37:07
  I
• 37:07
  wrote
• 37:07
  down
• 37:08
  is
• 37:09
  father
• 37:09
  of
• 37:09
  two
• 37:09
  boys.
• 37:11
  And
• 37:11
  whenever
• 37:12
  somebody
• 37:13
  speaks
• 37:14
  from
• 37:14
  the
• 37:14
  chair
• 37:14
  of
• 37:15
  being
• 37:15
  a
• 37:15
  Parent,
• 37:16
  I'm
• 37:16
  just.
• 37:17
  It
• 37:18
  opens
• 37:18
  me
• 37:19
  right
• 37:19
  up,
• 37:21
  you
• 37:21
  know,
• 37:21
  I.
• 37:23
  You
• 37:23
  and
• 37:23
  I
• 37:23
  share
• 37:23
  that.
• 37:24
  And,
• 37:24
  and
• 37:25
  so,
• 37:26
  you
• 37:26
  know,
• 37:27
  they're
• 37:27
  speaking
• 37:28
  as
• 37:28
  an
• 37:29
  expert
• 37:29
  person
• 37:30
  possessed
• 37:31
  of
• 37:31
  decades
• 37:32
  of
• 37:32
  experience.
• 37:33
  But,
• 37:34
  you
• 37:35
  know,
• 37:35
  when
• 37:35
  you
• 37:35
  start
• 37:35
  speaking
• 37:36
  from
• 37:36
  the
• 37:36
  chair
• 37:37
  of
• 37:37
  being
• 37:38
  a
• 37:38
  parent,
• 37:40
  there's
• 37:40
  a
• 37:41
  level
• 37:41
  of
• 37:41
  reality
• 37:42
  there
• 37:42
  and
• 37:43
  human
• 37:44
  connection
• 37:45
  that
• 37:46
  adds
• 37:46
  such
• 37:46
  depth.
• 37:48
  There
• 37:49
  is
• 37:49
  something
• 37:50
  beyond
• 37:51
  just
• 37:51
  the
• 37:52
  socioeconomic
• 37:53
  disparities
• 37:53
  that
• 37:54
  causes
• 37:55
  disparity
• 37:56
  in
• 37:56
  achievement.
• 37:57
  And
• 37:57
  then
• 37:58
  he
• 37:58
  leaned
• 37:58
  into
• 37:58
  that.
• 37:59
  And
• 38:00
  that's
• 38:00
  where,
• 38:01
  you
• 38:01
  know,
• 38:02
  the
• 38:02
  next
• 38:02
  statement
• 38:02
  that
• 38:03
  hit
• 38:03
  me
• 38:03
  was
• 38:04
  our
• 38:04
  black
• 38:04
  and
• 38:05
  brown
• 38:05
  students
• 38:06
  experience
• 38:07
  the
• 38:08
  lower
• 38:08
  end
• 38:08
  of
• 38:08
  teacher
• 38:09
  efficacy
• 38:11
  regularly
• 38:11
  year
• 38:12
  after
• 38:12
  year
• 38:12
  after
• 38:12
  year
• 38:13
  after
• 38:13
  year.
• 38:13
  And
• 38:13
  it's
• 38:14
  not
• 38:14
  because
• 38:15
  our
• 38:15
  white
• 38:16
  educators
• 38:16
  don't
• 38:17
  care.
• 38:18
  It's
• 38:19
  just
• 38:19
  that
• 38:19
  they
• 38:19
  aren't
• 38:19
  possessed
• 38:20
  of
• 38:21
  the
• 38:21
  awareness
• 38:22
  and
• 38:22
  the
• 38:22
  skillfulness
• 38:24
  and
• 38:25
  the
• 38:25
  belief
• 38:25
  in
• 38:26
  their
• 38:26
  own
• 38:26
  capacity
• 38:27
  to
• 38:27
  address
• 38:27
  it
• 38:27
  in
• 38:27
  the
• 38:28
  moment
• 38:28
  and
• 38:28
  make
• 38:29
  a
• 38:29
  difference.
• 38:31
  And,
• 38:32
  you
• 38:33
  know,
• 38:33
  it
• 38:33
  just
• 38:34
  felt
• 38:34
  like
• 38:34
  in
• 38:34
  a
• 38:34
  pivot
• 38:35
  there
• 38:35
  we
• 38:36
  were,
• 38:36
  we
• 38:36
  were
• 38:36
  just.
• 38:36
  He.
• 38:37
  He
• 38:37
  was
• 38:37
  able
• 38:37
  to
• 38:37
  take
• 38:38
  us.
• 38:38
  Here's
• 38:38
  the
• 38:39
  friction
• 38:39
  point,
• 38:40
  you
• 38:40
  know,
• 38:41
  right
• 38:41
  there.
• 38:41
  And
• 38:42
  I
• 38:42
  love
• 38:42
  that.
• 38:43
  And
• 38:43
  it
• 38:43
  focuses
• 38:45
  the
• 38:45
  need
• 38:46
  for
• 38:47
  us
• 38:47
  to
• 38:47
  really,
• 38:47
  really
• 38:48
  think
• 38:48
  about
• 38:48
  our
• 38:48
  own
• 38:49
  mental
• 38:49
  models
• 38:50
  and
• 38:50
  our
• 38:50
  own,
• 38:51
  you
• 38:51
  know,
• 38:52
  interrogating
• 38:53
  those
• 38:53
  implicit
• 38:54
  and
• 38:54
  explicit
• 38:55
  biases
• 38:55
  to
• 38:55
  really
• 38:56
  think
• 38:56
  about
• 38:57
  how
• 38:57
  we
• 38:57
  are.
• 38:58
  What
• 38:58
  are
• 38:58
  we
• 38:58
  doing
• 39:00
  to
• 39:00
  eliminate
• 39:01
  the
• 39:01
  belief
• 39:02
  gap?
• 39:03
  What
• 39:04
  do
• 39:04
  we,
• 39:04
  you
• 39:04
  know,
• 39:05
  sometimes
• 39:06
  our
• 39:06
  actions
• 39:07
  are
• 39:07
  small,
• 39:08
  sometimes
• 39:08
  our
• 39:09
  actions
• 39:09
  are
• 39:09
  great.
• 39:10
  How
• 39:10
  do
• 39:10
  we,
• 39:11
  how
• 39:11
  do
• 39:11
  we
• 39:11
  make
• 39:11
  sure
• 39:13
  that
• 39:13
  we,
• 39:14
  you
• 39:14
  know,
• 39:14
  when
• 39:14
  we
• 39:14
  say
• 39:15
  each
• 39:15
  and
• 39:15
  we
• 39:15
  and
• 39:16
  we
• 39:16
  talk
• 39:16
  about
• 39:16
  infinite
• 39:17
  potential,
• 39:17
  that
• 39:18
  we
• 39:18
  really
• 39:18
  mean
• 39:18
  that.
• 39:19
  Yeah.
• 39:19
  For
• 39:19
  each.
• 39:20
  For
• 39:20
  each
• 39:20
  and
• 39:20
  every
• 39:21
  student.
• 39:22
  You
• 39:22
  know,
• 39:23
  I
• 39:23
  think
• 39:23
  at
• 39:24
  some
• 39:24
  point
• 39:24
  in
• 39:24
  the
• 39:25
  conversation,
• 39:26
  I
• 39:27
  forget
• 39:27
  who
• 39:27
  it
• 39:27
  was,
• 39:27
  who
• 39:28
  said
• 39:28
  it.
• 39:28
  You
• 39:28
  know,
• 39:29
  for
• 39:29
  so
• 39:29
  many
• 39:29
  of
• 39:29
  our
• 39:30
  white
• 39:30
  educators,
• 39:30
  we
• 39:30
  don't
• 39:31
  know
• 39:31
  what
• 39:31
  we
• 39:31
  don't
• 39:31
  know.
• 39:33
  And
• 39:33
  the
• 39:33
  steps
• 39:34
  that
• 39:34
  we
• 39:34
  end
• 39:34
  up,
• 39:35
  the
• 39:35
  decisions
• 39:35
  we
• 39:35
  end
• 39:36
  up
• 39:37
  acting
• 39:37
  on
• 39:37
  and
• 39:38
  taking.
• 39:39
  Conversation.
• 39:40
  Where's
• 39:40
  Jalen's
• 39:41
  family
• 39:41
  in
• 39:41
  the
• 39:42
  conversation?
• 39:42
  Where.
• 39:43
  Where
• 39:43
  is
• 39:44
  all
• 39:44
  of
• 39:44
  that?
• 39:46
  And
• 39:46
  I
• 39:46
  wonder,
• 39:47
  you
• 39:47
  know,
• 39:47
  as
• 39:47
  he
• 39:47
  was
• 39:47
  talking,
• 39:48
  he
• 39:48
  calls
• 39:48
  it
• 39:48
  the
• 39:48
  belief
• 39:48
  gap.
• 39:49
  And
• 39:49
  I
• 39:49
  certainly
• 39:50
  would
• 39:50
  agree,
• 39:51
  but
• 39:51
  it's
• 39:51
  also,
• 39:53
  is.
• 39:53
  It
• 39:53
  is
• 39:53
  also
• 39:54
  a
• 39:54
  knowledge
• 39:55
  gap.
• 39:55
  Knowledge
• 39:56
  gap.
• 39:56
  It's
• 39:57
  right.
• 39:57
  It's
• 39:58
  an
• 39:58
  extent
• 39:59
  gap.
• 40:00
  I
• 40:00
  mean,
• 40:00
  there
• 40:01
  are
• 40:01
  gaps
• 40:02
  surfacing
• 40:03
  your
• 40:03
  mental
• 40:03
  models.
• 40:05
  Right.
• 40:05
  I
• 40:05
  mean.
• 40:08
  Why
• 40:08
  anybody
• 40:08
  would,
• 40:09
  would.
• 40:09
  Would
• 40:09
  make
• 40:10
  that
• 40:10
  kind
• 40:10
  of
• 40:11
  assumption
• 40:13
  about.
• 40:13
  I
• 40:14
  mean,
• 40:14
  if
• 40:14
  we
• 40:14
  would
• 40:15
  not,
• 40:16
  we
• 40:16
  would
• 40:17
  not
• 40:17
  make
• 40:17
  that
• 40:17
  kind
• 40:18
  of
• 40:18
  assumption
• 40:19
  about
• 40:20
  a
• 40:20
  sixth
• 40:21
  grade
• 40:21
  white
• 40:22
  boy.
• 40:24
  We
• 40:24
  would
• 40:24
  not,
• 40:25
  right?
• 40:25
  We
• 40:26
  absolutely
• 40:26
  would
• 40:27
  not.
• 40:29
  That
• 40:29
  thought
• 40:30
  that
• 40:30
  that
• 40:31
  assumption
• 40:31
  would
• 40:32
  never
• 40:32
  come
• 40:32
  into
• 40:32
  play.
• 40:33
  Right.
• 40:33
  Never
• 40:34
  ever,
• 40:34
  ever.
• 40:40
  And
• 40:41
  that's
• 40:41
  a
• 40:41
  wrap
• 40:41
