- 8:59it's
- 9:00a
- 9:00hard
- 9:00posture.
- 9:00And

- 9:02we
- 9:02have
- 9:02to
- 9:02get
- 9:02beyond
- 9:03thinking
- 9:03inclusion
- 9:04is

- 9:05Simply
- 9:05because
- 9:05of
- 9:06kids
- 9:06in
- 9:06an
- 9:07environment
- 9:07doesn't
- 9:08mean
- 9:08they
- 9:08belong.
- 9:09And
- 9:09so
- 9:10we
- 9:10celebrate
- 9:10inclusion
- 9:11all
- 9:11the
- 9:11time.
- 9:11But

- 9:12it's
- 9:12really
- 9:13inclusion.
- 9:14And
- 9:15because

- 9:18space
- 9:18to
- 9:18feel
- 9:18like
- 9:19it's
- 9:19theirs.
- 9:20So
- 9:20we
- 9:20have
- 9:20to
- 9:20really
- 9:21become
- 9:22intentional
- 9:22with

- 9:30we
- 9:30have
- 9:31to
- 9:31understand
- 9:31that
- 9:31we
- 9:31have

- 32:41the
- 32:41right
- 32:41supports
- 32:41to
- 32:42be
- 32:42successful
- 32:42in
- 32:42their
- 32:43job.
- 32:43I
- 32:43don't
- 32:44want
- 32:44to
- 32:44oversimplify
- 32:44this,
- 32:45but
- 32:45part
- 32:45of
- 32:45what
- 32:46I'm
- 32:46thinking
- 32:46about,
- 32:47too,
- 32:47is
- 32:48part
- 32:48of
- 32:48opening
- 32:48doors
- 32:49is
- 32:49recognizing
- 32:50that
- 32:50we
- 32:50have
- 32:50a
- 32:50moral
- 32:50imperative
- 32:51to
- 32:51open
- 32:51the
- 32:51doors.
- 32:52I
- 32:53think
- 32:53sometimes
- 32:53people
- 32:54like.
- 32:55Whenever
- 32:55I
- 32:55moved
- 32:55up
- 32:56in
- 32:56organizations,
- 32:57I
- 32:57knew
- 32:58that
- 32:58I
- 32:58wasn't
- 32:58just
- 32:58representing
- 32:59Myself.
- 33:00So
- 33:00I
- 33:00was
- 33:01constantly
- 33:01trying
- 33:01to
- 33:01invite
- 33:02people
- 33:02into
- 33:02spaces
- 33:03where
- 33:03I
- 33:03was
- 33:04at.
- 33:04And
- 33:05so
- 33:05I
- 33:05think
- 33:05as
- 33:06people
- 33:07that
- 33:07are
- 33:07in
- 33:07positions
- 33:08where
- 33:08we
- 33:08have
- 33:09the
- 33:09power
- 33:09to
- 33:09physically
- 33:10open
- 33:10the
- 33:10door,
- 33:10we
- 33:11have
- 33:11to
- 33:11understand
- 33:11we
- 33:12have
- 33:12a
- 33:12moral
- 33:12imperative
- 33:12to
- 33:13do
- 33:13so,
- 33:14because
- 33:14everybody
- 33:14doesn't
- 33:15choose
- 33:15to
- 33:15always
- 33:15do
- 33:16that.
- 33:16And
- 33:16sometimes
- 33:17we
- 33:17create
- 33:17spaces
- 33:18where
- 33:18it's,
- 33:18quote,
- 33:19competitive
- 33:20and
- 33:20we're
- 33:21actually
- 33:21keeping
- 33:21people
- 33:22out
- 33:23based
- 33:23upon
- 33:23trying
- 33:23to
- 33:24keep
- 33:24our
- 33:24own.
- 33:25So
- 33:25I
- 33:25think
- 33:26we
- 33:26have
- 33:26to
- 33:26understand
- 33:26also
- 33:27that
- 33:27it

- 33:29to
- 33:30understand
- 33:30that.

- 35:34me
- 35:34back
- 35:34to
- 35:34what
- 35:34you
- 35:35said,
- 35:35really,
- 35:36at

- 35:37Opal
- 35:38was
- 35:38around

- 35:41to
- 35:41shrink.
- 35:42It
- 35:42goes
- 35:43for
- 35:43the
- 35:43adults.
- 35:44You
- 35:44know,
- 35:44that
- 35:45just.
- 35:46That

- 35:49about
- 35:50what
- 35:51do
- 35:51we
- 35:51do?
- 35:52Because
- 35:52I
- 35:52think
- 35:52sometimes
- 35:53it's
- 35:54not
- 35:54about
- 35:54what
- 35:55we
- 35:55can
- 35:56do,

- 36:01and
- 36:02looking
- 36:02in
- 36:02the

- 36:04because
- 36:04somebody
- 36:05did
- 36:05have
- 36:05the
- 36:05courage
- 36:06to
- 36:07give
- 36:07me
- 36:07that
- 36:07feedback?
- 36:09And
- 36:10what
- 36:10is
- 36:10my
- 36:10responsibility,
- 36:12my
- 36:12moral

- 36:22an
- 36:22intentional
- 36:24process,

- 36:26feedback
- 36:27is
- 36:27our
- 36:27norm,
- 36:28that
- 36:29if
- 36:29we're
- 36:29not
- 36:30cultivating
- 36:31or
- 36:31creating
- 36:31cultures
- 36:32where
- 36:32feedback
- 36:33is
- 36:33the
- 36:33norm,
- 36:34then
- 36:34what
- 36:34we
- 36:35get
- 36:35is
- 36:35adults
- 36:35who
- 36:35shrink
- 36:36or
- 36:36who
- 36:36never
- 36:37feel
- 36:37empowered
- 36:38enough
- 36:38to
- 36:38give
- 36:38us
- 36:39feedback
- 36:39on
- 36:40our
- 36:40leadership,
- 36:41on
- 36:41systems
- 36:42in
- 36:42the
- 36:42school.
- 36:43Things
- 36:43that
- 36:43they
- 36:44think
- 36:44may
- 36:44be
- 36:44more
- 36:45impactful,
- 36:46they
- 36:47lose
- 36:47their
