  In

• 1:35
  We

  believe
• 1:35
  that
• 1:36
  educating

  our

  should
• 1:37
  be
• 1:38
  a

• 1:39
  and

  secondary.
• 1:45
  Together,
• 1:45
  these
• 1:46
  three
• 1:46
  elements
• 1:47
  shift

  that's
• 1:49
  done
• 1:50
  to
• 1:50

• 1:51
  to
• 1:51
  something
• 1:52
  that's
• 1:52
  done
• 1:53
  with
• 1:53
  them.
• 1:54

  essential
• 2:00
  wisdom
• 2:01
  builds

  believe
• 2:04
  they
• 2:05
  matter
• 2:05
  and

  Rich
• 5:11
  Anyabene
• 5:12
  from
• 5:12
  the
• 5:12
  great
• 5:12
  state
• 5:13
  of
• 5:13
  New

  York.
• 5:14
  Welcome,
• 5:15
  sir.
• 5:16
  Well,
• 5:16
  Grant
• 5:17
  and
• 5:17
  Alicia
• 5:18
  and
• 5:18
  Kathy
• 5:19
  and
• 5:19
  Michael,
• 5:19
  it
• 5:20
  is
• 5:20
  an
• 5:20
  honor
• 5:20
  to
• 5:20
  be
• 5:21
  here
• 5:21
  and
• 5:22
  thank
• 5:22
  you
• 5:22
  for
• 5:22
  that
• 5:23
  kind
• 5:23
  introduction
• 5:24
  and
• 5:24
  just
• 5:25
  one
• 5:26
  minute
• 5:26
  of
• 5:26
  reality
• 5:27
  check.
• 5:27
  We
• 5:27
  don't
• 5:28
  want
• 5:28
  to
• 5:28
  commit
• 5:28
  the
• 5:28
  fundamental
• 5:29
  attribution
• 5:29
  error
• 5:30
  here
• 5:30
  that
• 5:30
  my
• 5:30
  royalty,
• 5:31
  my
• 5:31
  success
• 5:32
  as
• 5:32
  a
• 5:32
  teacher
• 5:33
  comes
• 5:33
  from
• 5:34
  the
• 5:34
  fact
• 5:34
  that
• 5:34
  I
• 5:34
  have
• 5:34
  landed
• 5:35
  in
• 5:35
  places
• 5:35
  with
• 5:36
  great
• 5:36
  colleagues
• 5:36
  and
• 5:37
  great
• 5:37
  leaders,
• 5:38
  administrators,
• 5:39
  board
• 5:39
  members,
• 5:40
  that
• 5:40
  my
• 5:40
  two
• 5:40
  parents
• 5:40
  were
• 5:41
  great
• 5:41
  teachers.
• 5:42
  And
• 5:43
  we
• 5:43
  have
• 5:43
  a
• 5:43
  myth
• 5:44
  sometimes
• 5:44
  of
• 5:45
  the
• 5:45
  self
• 5:45
  made
• 5:46
  person.
• 5:47
  My
• 5:47
  success
• 5:48
  is
• 5:48
  in
• 5:48
  the
• 5:48
  context
• 5:49
  of
• 5:49
  a
• 5:49
  lot
• 5:49
  of
• 5:49
  love
• 5:50
  and
• 5:50
  support
• 5:50
  with
• 5:51
  some
• 5:51
  very
• 5:51
  humanizing
• 5:52
  educators,
• 5:52
  people
• 5:53
  that
• 5:53
  the
• 5:53
  four
• 5:53
  of
• 5:53
  you
• 5:54
  would
• 5:54
  love.
• 5:55
  And
• 5:55
  so
• 5:55
  I
• 5:55
  may
• 5:55
  have
• 5:56
  gotten
• 5:56
  the
• 5:56
  recognition,
• 5:57
  but
• 5:57
  that
• 5:57
  recognition
• 5:58
  reflects,
• 5:58
  quite
• 5:58
  frankly,
• 5:59
  all
• 5:59
  the
• 5:59
  people
• 6:00
  I
• 6:00
  worked
• 6:00
  with.
• 6:02
  And
• 6:03
  that
• 6:03
  brief
• 6:04
  hello
• 6:04
  is
• 6:05
  exactly
• 6:05
  why.
• 6:06
  You
• 6:06
  are
• 6:06
  here
• 6:06
  today.
• 6:08
  Right?
• 6:08
  Because
• 6:09
  we're
• 6:09
  going
• 6:09
  to
• 6:10
  really
• 6:10
  focus
• 6:10
  on
• 6:11
  one
• 6:11
  of
• 6:11
  our
• 6:12
  guiding
• 6:12
  principles.
• 6:13
  You
• 6:13
  know,
• 6:13
  Last
• 6:13
  week
• 6:13
  with
• 6:14
  Dr.
• 6:14
  Chisholm,
• 6:14
  we
• 6:14
  talked
• 6:15
  a
• 6:15
  lot
• 6:15
  about
• 6:15
  the
• 6:15
  belief
• 6:16
  gap.
• 6:16
  How
• 6:17
  we
• 6:17
  need
• 6:17
  to
• 6:18
  be
• 6:18
  courageous
• 6:20
  and
• 6:21
  brave
• 6:22
  to
• 6:23
  interrogate
• 6:23
  our
• 6:24
  mental
• 6:24
  models
• 6:24
  and
• 6:25
  make
• 6:25
  sure
• 6:25
  that
• 6:25
  we
• 6:26
  are
• 6:26
  not
• 6:26
  perpetuating
• 6:27
  a
• 6:28
  belief
• 6:28
  gap.
• 6:29
  Because
• 6:30
  dignity
• 6:30
  for
• 6:31
  every
• 6:32
  single
• 6:32
  human
• 6:33
  being,
• 6:33
  every
• 6:34
  single
• 6:34
  student
• 6:35
  is
• 6:35
  a
• 6:36
  birthright.
• 6:37
  And
• 6:37
  today
• 6:37
  we're
• 6:38
  going
• 6:38
  to
• 6:38
  jump
• 6:38
  to
• 6:38
  a
• 6:39
  different
• 6:39
  guiding
• 6:39
  principle,
• 6:40
  which
• 6:40
  I
• 6:40
  think
• 6:40
  is
• 6:41
  equally
• 6:41
  important.
• 6:43
  And
• 6:43
  that
• 6:43
  is
• 6:44
  the
• 6:44
  guiding
• 6:44
  principle
• 6:45
  that
• 6:45
  we
• 6:46
  believe
• 6:46
  that
• 6:46
  educating
• 6:47
  our
• 6:47
  children
• 6:48
  should
• 6:48
  be
• 6:49
  humanizing,
• 6:51
  relational
• 6:52
  and
• 6:52
  a
• 6:52
  transformational
• 6:53
  endeavor,
• 6:54
  and
• 6:54
  that
• 6:54
  all
• 6:54
  else
• 6:55
  is
• 6:55
  secondary.
• 6:56
  And
• 6:57
  when
• 6:57
  we
• 6:57
  think
• 6:57
  about
• 6:59
  making
• 7:00
  that
• 7:00
  shift
• 7:01
  right
• 7:01
  from
• 7:02
  something
• 7:02
  that
• 7:02
  is
• 7:02
  done
• 7:04
  to
• 7:04
  students,
• 7:05
  that
• 7:05
  transactional
• 7:06
  herding
• 7:07
  nature
• 7:08
  to
• 7:08
  something
• 7:08
  that
• 7:08
  is
• 7:09
  done
• 7:09
  with
• 7:10
  them,
• 7:10
  I
• 7:10
  think
• 7:11
  of
• 7:11
  three
• 7:11
  things.
• 7:12
  I
• 7:12
  think
• 7:12
  of
• 7:13
  student
• 7:13
  voice,
• 7:15
  I
• 7:15
  think
• 7:15
  of
• 7:16
  cultivating
• 7:17
  student
• 7:17
  self
• 7:18
  efficacy
• 7:19
  and
• 7:19
  I
• 7:20
  think
• 7:20
  of
• 7:20
  fostering
• 7:21
  student
• 7:21
  agency,
• 7:23
  student
• 7:24
  voice,
• 7:24
  student
• 7:25
  self
• 7:25
  efficacy,
• 7:26
  student
• 7:26
  agency.
• 7:27
  And
• 7:27
  we'll
• 7:28
  talk
• 7:28
  more
• 7:28
  about
• 7:28
  those,
• 7:29
  I'm
• 7:29
  sure
• 7:29
  in
• 7:29
  greater
• 7:30
  detail.
• 7:30
  But
• 7:30
  that's
• 7:31
  why,
• 7:32
  that's
• 7:33
  why
• 7:33
  we've
• 7:33
  asked
• 7:34
  Rich
• 7:34
  Anyabene
• 7:35
  to
• 7:35
  be
• 7:35
  here
• 7:36
  today,
• 7:36
  because
• 7:37
  those
• 7:37
  are
• 7:37
  things
• 7:37
  that
• 7:38
  he
• 7:38
  has
• 7:38
  just
• 7:38
  done
• 7:38
  naturally
• 7:39
  throughout
• 7:40
  his
• 7:41
  entire
• 7:41
  career.
• 7:41
  So
• 7:42
  I'm
• 7:42
  just
• 7:42
  going
• 7:42
  to
• 7:42
  open
• 7:42
  it
• 7:42
  up
• 7:43
  with
• 7:44
  one
• 7:44
  big
• 7:44
  question.
• 7:46
  It
• 7:46
  seems
• 7:46
  from
• 7:47
  what
• 7:47
  I
• 7:47
  know
• 7:47
  about
• 7:47
  you,
• 7:48
  sir,
• 7:48
  that
• 7:49
  this
• 7:49
  is
• 7:49
  just
• 7:50
  the
• 7:50
  natural
• 7:51
  way
• 7:51
  that
• 7:51
  you
• 7:51
  operate,
• 7:52
  right?
• 7:53
  Creating
• 7:53
  classrooms
• 7:54
  that
• 7:54
  are
• 7:55
  humanizing,
• 7:56
  that
• 7:56
  really
• 7:56
  focus
• 7:57
  on
• 7:57
  voice,
• 7:58
  self
• 7:59
  efficacy
• 7:59
  and
• 7:59
  agency.
• 8:00
  And
• 8:00
  so
• 8:01
  my
• 8:01
  first
• 8:01
  question
• 8:01
  is,
• 8:02
  why
• 8:02
  is
• 8:02
  that
• 8:02
  so
• 8:02
  natural
• 8:03
  for
• 8:03
  you?
• 8:04
  Well,
• 8:05
  I
• 8:05
  think
• 8:06
  part
• 8:06
  of
• 8:08
  growing
• 8:08
  as
• 8:08
  a
• 8:08
  teacher
• 8:09
  is
• 8:09
  knowing
• 8:10
  that
• 8:10
  we
• 8:10
  don't
• 8:10
  teach
• 8:11
  content,
• 8:11
  we
• 8:11
  teach
• 8:11
  students.
• 8:13
  And
• 8:14
  I
• 8:14
  might
• 8:14
  use
• 8:14
  the
• 8:15
  content
• 8:15
  of
• 8:15
  chemistry
• 8:16
  and
• 8:16
  Mike
• 8:16
  might
• 8:16
  have
• 8:17
  used
• 8:17
  English
• 8:17
  when
• 8:17
  he
• 8:18
  started.
• 8:18
  My
• 8:18
  friend
• 8:18
  Marcia
• 8:19
  uses
• 8:19
  art.
• 8:21
  But
• 8:21
  we're
• 8:22
  human
• 8:22
  development
• 8:22
  specialists
• 8:23
  and
• 8:24
  we
• 8:24
  can't
• 8:25
  teach
• 8:25
  any
• 8:25
  content
• 8:26
  unless
• 8:27
  we
• 8:27
  know
• 8:27
  who
• 8:28
  our
• 8:28
  students
• 8:28
  are.
• 8:29
  And
• 8:29
  we
• 8:29
  can't
• 8:29
  know
• 8:30
  who
• 8:30
  our
• 8:30
  students
• 8:30
  are
• 8:31
  unless
• 8:31
  we
• 8:31
  give
• 8:32
  them
• 8:32
  some
• 8:32
  voice.
• 8:33
  We
• 8:33
  give
• 8:33
  them
• 8:33
  the
• 8:33
  option
• 8:34
  to
• 8:35
  share
• 8:35
  who
• 8:36
  they
• 8:36
  are
• 8:36
  and
• 8:36
  let
• 8:36
  them
• 8:37
  know
• 8:37
  we
• 8:37
  value
• 8:37
  who
• 8:38
  they
• 8:38
  are,
• 8:38
  we
• 8:38
  love
• 8:38
  them
• 8:39
  for
• 8:39
  who
• 8:39
  they
• 8:39
  are,
• 8:40
  even
• 8:40
  if
• 8:40
  they
• 8:41
  suck
• 8:41
  at
• 8:41
  the
• 8:41
  content
• 8:42
  that
• 8:42
  we
• 8:42
  teach.
• 8:43
  And
• 8:44
  it's
• 8:44
  really
• 8:44
  important.
• 8:45
  And
• 8:46
  my
• 8:46
  observations
• 8:47
  as
• 8:48
  an
• 8:48
  educator,
• 8:49
  teachers
• 8:49
  come
• 8:50
  into
• 8:50
  schools
• 8:50
  with
• 8:50
  invisible
• 8:51
  backpacks
• 8:52
  too.
• 8:52
  Okay?
• 8:53
  Teachers
• 8:53
  suffer
• 8:54
  from
• 8:54
  belief
• 8:54
  gaps
• 8:55
  that
• 8:56
  people
• 8:56
  above
• 8:57
  them
• 8:57
  look
• 8:57
  down.
• 8:57
  Oh,
• 8:58
  she's
• 8:58
  only
• 8:58
  a
• 8:58
  first
• 8:58
  year
• 8:58
  teacher,
• 8:59
  what
• 8:59
  could
• 8:59
  she
• 8:59
  say?
• 9:00
  Oh,
• 9:00
  he's
• 9:00
  just
• 9:00
  a
• 9:01
  gym
• 9:01
  teacher.
• 9:01
  He
• 9:01
  couldn't
• 9:02
  have
• 9:02
  any
• 9:02
  comments
• 9:02
  on
• 9:03
  this.
• 9:04
  And
• 9:04
  so
• 9:04
  if
• 9:04
  we
• 9:05
  want
• 9:05
  students
• 9:05
  to
• 9:05
  have
• 9:06
  voice,
• 9:06
  we
• 9:07
  need
• 9:07
  teachers
• 9:08
  to
• 9:08
  have
• 9:08
  voice.
• 9:09
  And
• 9:09
  that's
• 9:10
  very
• 9:10
  easy
• 9:10
  to
• 9:10
  say
• 9:10
  theoretically.
• 9:11
  The
• 9:11
  problem
• 9:12
  is
• 9:12
  I've
• 9:12
  shadowed
• 9:13
  principals
• 9:13
  for
• 9:14
  a
• 9:14
  day.
• 9:14
  I've
• 9:14
  been
• 9:15
  a
• 9:15
  teacher
• 9:15
  for
• 9:15
  a
• 9:15
  day.
• 9:15
  We're
• 9:16
  so
• 9:16
  swamped.
• 9:17
  My
• 9:18
  Life
• 9:18
  is
• 9:18
  a
• 9:18
  40
• 9:18
  minute
• 9:19
  classroom
• 9:19
  that's
• 9:20
  really
• 9:20
  30
• 9:20
  minutes
• 9:20
  by
• 9:21
  time.
• 9:21
  The
• 9:21
  phone
• 9:21
  stops
• 9:22
  ringing
• 9:22
  and
• 9:22
  they
• 9:22
  take
• 9:23
  attendance
• 9:23
  and
• 9:23
  the
• 9:23
  kids
• 9:23
  settle.
• 9:25
  And
• 9:25
  I've
• 9:25
  got
• 9:25
  25
• 9:26
  or
• 9:26
  30
• 9:26
  kids
• 9:27
  and
• 9:27
  it
• 9:27
  is
• 9:28
  just
• 9:28
  not
• 9:28
  possible
• 9:29
  in
• 9:29
  a
• 9:29
  day
• 9:29
  with
• 9:30
  150
• 9:31
  kids
• 9:31
  to
• 9:31
  listen
• 9:32
  to
• 9:32
  every
• 9:32
  student
• 9:33
  intently.
• 9:34
  Nor
• 9:34
  is
• 9:34
  it
• 9:34
  possible
• 9:34
  for
• 9:35
  a
• 9:35
  principal
• 9:35
  to
• 9:35
  listen
• 9:36
  to
• 9:36
  every
• 9:36
  teacher
• 9:37
  intently.
• 9:38
  So
• 9:38
  we
• 9:39
  have
• 9:39
  to
• 9:39
  come
• 9:39
  up
• 9:39
  with
• 9:40
  mechanisms
• 9:41
  that
• 9:42
  allow
• 9:42
  that
• 9:42
  voice
• 9:43
  to
• 9:43
  emerge.
• 9:44
  A
• 9:45
  couple
• 9:45
  that
• 9:45
  I've
• 9:45
  stolen
• 9:46
  from
• 9:46
  other
• 9:46
  teachers.
• 9:47
  My
• 9:48
  friend
• 9:48
  Jim
• 9:48
  Nowak
• 9:49
  calls
• 9:49
  it
• 9:49
  dipsticking
• 9:50
  where
• 9:50
  you
• 9:50
  test
• 9:50
  the
• 9:50
  oil
• 9:51
  during
• 9:51
  the
• 9:51
  day.
• 9:51
  He
• 9:51
  goes,
• 9:52
  you
• 9:52
  throw
• 9:52
  a
• 9:52
  writing
• 9:52
  prompt
• 9:53
  at
• 9:53
  the
• 9:53
  end
• 9:53
  of
• 9:53
  a
• 9:53
  quiz
• 9:54
  or
• 9:54
  a
• 9:54
  test.
• 9:55
  Tell
• 9:55
  me
• 9:55
  one
• 9:55
  thing
• 9:56
  you
• 9:56
  liked
• 9:56
  about
• 9:56
  the
• 9:56
  unit.
• 9:57
  One
• 9:57
  thing
• 9:57
  you
• 9:57
  didn't
• 9:58
  tell
• 9:58
  me,
• 9:59
  one
• 9:59
  thing
• 9:59
  good
• 9:59
  in
• 9:59
  your
• 10:00
  life,
• 10:00
  tell
• 10:00
  me
• 10:01
  one
• 10:01
  thing
• 10:01
  that's
• 10:01
  been
• 10:01
  a
• 10:01
  struggle.
• 10:03
  And
• 10:03
  suddenly
• 10:03
  with
• 10:04
  that
• 10:04
  little
• 10:04
  writing
• 10:04
  prompt
• 10:05
  now
• 10:06
  as
• 10:06
  a
• 10:06
  teacher
• 10:06
  I
• 10:07
  can
• 10:07
  be
• 10:07
  aware
• 10:07
  of
• 10:07
  oh
• 10:08
  I'm
• 10:08
  going
• 10:08
  to
• 10:08
  have
• 10:08
  to
• 10:08
  talk
• 10:09
  to
• 10:09
  Alicia
• 10:09
  tomorrow
• 10:10
  because
• 10:10
  she
• 10:10
  said
• 10:10
  this
• 10:11
  and
• 10:12
  I
• 10:12
  want
• 10:12
  to
• 10:12
  congratulate
• 10:13
  Kathy
• 10:13
  because
• 10:13
  she
• 10:14
  said
• 10:14
  that.
• 10:15
  And
• 10:16
  it's
• 10:16
  just
• 10:16
  being
• 10:16
  intentional
• 10:17
  Grant.
• 10:17
  It's
• 10:18
  being
• 10:18
  thoughtful
• 10:19
  about
• 10:20
  letting
• 10:20
  kids
• 10:21
  communicate.
• 10:21
  The
• 10:22
  other
• 10:22
  issue
• 10:22
  is
• 10:23
  what
• 10:24
  medium
• 10:24
  do
• 10:24
  we
• 10:25
  let
• 10:25
  the
• 10:25
  kids
• 10:25
  communicate?
• 10:26
  Do
• 10:27
  we
• 10:27
  give
• 10:27
  them
• 10:27
  our
• 10:27
  email?
• 10:28
  Do
• 10:28
  we
• 10:28
  give
• 10:28
  them
• 10:29
  our
• 10:29
  cell
• 10:29
  phone
• 10:29
  which
• 10:30
  it's
• 10:31
  the
• 10:31
  world
• 10:31
  they
• 10:31
  live
• 10:32
  in.
• 10:32
  I
• 10:33
  give
• 10:33
  my
• 10:33
  parents
• 10:33
  and
• 10:34
  my
• 10:34
  students
• 10:34
  my
• 10:34
  cell
• 10:35
  number
• 10:35
  with
• 10:36
  permission
• 10:36
  to
• 10:36
  talk
• 10:36
  about
• 10:37
  school
• 10:37
  stuff.
• 10:38
  And
• 10:38
  I
• 10:38
  found
• 10:39
  kids
• 10:39
  will
• 10:40
  digitally
• 10:41
  or
• 10:41
  in
• 10:41
  writing
• 10:42
  share
• 10:42
  things
• 10:43
  they
• 10:43
  would
• 10:43
  never
• 10:43
  say
• 10:44
  vocally
• 10:44
  or
• 10:45
  out
• 10:45
  loud.
• 10:46
  And
• 10:47
  so
• 10:48
  giving
• 10:48
  people
• 10:48
  access
• 10:49
  to
• 10:50
  is
• 10:50
  really
• 10:51
  important
• 10:51
  to
• 10:51
  developing
• 10:52
  the
• 10:52
  voice
• 10:52
  and
• 10:53
  letting
• 10:53
  kids
• 10:54
  share
• 10:54
  with
• 10:54
  you
• 10:55
  what's
• 10:55
  important.
• 10:56
  They
• 10:57
  will
• 10:57
  not
• 10:57
  many
• 10:57
  kids
• 10:58
  will
• 10:58
  not
• 10:58
  in
• 10:58
  a
• 10:58
  group
• 10:59
  of
• 10:59
  25
• 10:59
  peers
• 11:00
  share
• 11:00
  anything
• 11:01
  that's
• 11:01
  deep
• 11:01
  or
• 11:01
  personal
• 11:02
  or
• 11:02
  important.
• 11:03
  And
• 11:03
  so
• 11:04
  we
• 11:04
  have
• 11:04
  to
• 11:04
  give
• 11:04
  them
• 11:04
  access
• 11:05
  to
• 11:05
  us
• 11:05
  in
• 11:06
  our
• 11:06
  very
• 11:06
  busy
• 11:06
  hairy
• 11:07
  days
• 11:07
  to
• 11:08
  share
• 11:08
  what's
• 11:08
  important
• 11:08
  in
• 11:09
  their
• 11:09
  life
• 11:09
  so
• 11:09
  we
• 11:09
  can
• 11:10
  be
• 11:10
  better
• 11:10
  teachers.
• 11:12
  So
• 11:13
  Rich,
• 11:14
  if
• 11:14
  it's
• 11:14
  okay
• 11:14
  I
• 11:15
  want
• 11:15
  to
• 11:16
  go
• 11:16
  even
• 11:16
  deeper
• 11:17
  because
• 11:18
  access
• 11:19
  absolutely
• 11:21
  we
• 11:21
  have
• 11:21
  to
• 11:21
  have
• 11:21
  that.
• 11:23
  But
• 11:23
  if
• 11:23
  I
• 11:24
  haven't
• 11:24
  made
• 11:25
  the
• 11:25
  connection
• 11:26
  with
• 11:26
  you
• 11:27
  if
• 11:27
  I
• 11:27
  don't
• 11:28
  I
• 11:28
  mean
• 11:29
  how
• 11:29
  that
• 11:30
  relational
• 11:31
  piece
• 11:31
  that
• 11:32
  humanizing
• 11:34
  So
• 11:35
  I
• 11:35
  have
• 11:35
  to
• 11:35
  know
• 11:37
  as
• 11:37
  a
• 11:37
  student
• 11:39
  that
• 11:39
  have
• 11:39
  the
• 11:39
  courage
• 11:42
  to
• 11:42
  know
• 11:43
  in
• 11:44
  the
• 11:44
  belief
• 11:44
  to
• 11:45
  know
• 11:45
  that
• 11:47
  you're
• 11:47
  gonna
• 11:47
  that
• 11:48
  it's
• 11:48
  a
• 11:48
  safe
• 11:48
  space
• 11:49
  that
• 11:49
  I
• 11:49
  can
• 11:50
  say
• 11:50
  that.
• 11:50
  You
• 11:51
  know
• 11:51
  I'm
• 11:51
  not
• 11:51
  gonna
• 11:51
  put
• 11:52
  in
• 11:52
  a
• 11:52
  writing
• 11:52
  prompt,
• 11:53
  I'm
• 11:53
  not
• 11:53
  gonna
• 11:53
  put
• 11:53
  in
• 11:54
  a
• 11:54
  text
• 11:54
  message
• 11:56
  something
• 11:56
  and
• 11:56
  be
• 11:57
  vulnerable
• 11:59
  if
• 11:59
  you
• 11:59
  haven't
• 11:59
  first
• 12:00
  created
• 12:02
  that
• 12:02
  space.
• 12:04
  So
• 12:04
  that
• 12:04
  space
• 12:04
  gets
• 12:05
  created
• 12:05
  on
• 12:05
  day
• 12:05
  one
• 12:06
  when
• 12:06
  I
• 12:07
  share
• 12:07
  with
• 12:07
  them
• 12:08
  amongst
• 12:08
  other
• 12:08
  things
• 12:09
  that
• 12:09
  I'm
• 12:09
  a
• 12:09
  gay
• 12:10
  man
• 12:10
  and
• 12:10
  I
• 12:10
  run
• 12:11
  the
• 12:11
  students
• 12:11
  gay
• 12:11
  Straight
• 12:12
  Alliance.
• 12:12
  And
• 12:13
  when
• 12:13
  I
• 12:13
  had
• 12:13
  a
• 12:13
  partner
• 12:14
  I
• 12:14
  put
• 12:14
  a
• 12:14
  picture
• 12:14
  of
• 12:15
  my
• 12:15
  family
• 12:15
  up
• 12:15
  that
• 12:15
  included
• 12:16
  my
• 12:16
  partner.
• 12:18
  That
• 12:19
  opens
• 12:19
  a
• 12:19
  lot
• 12:19
  of
• 12:19
  conversations
• 12:20
  because
• 12:20
  kids
• 12:21
  a
• 12:21
  15
• 12:21
  year
• 12:21
  old
• 12:22
  kid
• 12:22
  goes
• 12:22
  well
• 12:22
  if
• 12:22
  he
• 12:22
  can
• 12:22
  say
• 12:23
  that
• 12:23
  so
• 12:24
  that's
• 12:24
  you
• 12:24
  know
• 12:24
  I
• 12:25
  can
• 12:25
  share
• 12:25
  other
• 12:26
  stuff
• 12:27
  but
• 12:28
  the
• 12:28
  other
• 12:28
  thing
• 12:28
  and
• 12:28
  this
• 12:28
  kind
• 12:29
  of
• 12:29
  gets
• 12:29
  to
• 12:29
  efficacy
• 12:30
  of
• 12:31
  my
• 12:32
  first
• 12:32
  couple
• 12:32
  weeks
• 12:32
  are
• 12:33
  an
• 12:33
  lot
• 12:33
  awful
• 12:33
  all
• 12:33
  out
• 12:34
  assault
• 12:35
  with
• 12:35
  love.
• 12:37
  I
• 12:37
  do
• 12:37
  interviews
• 12:38
  with
• 12:38
  kids
• 12:38
  we
• 12:38
  Wear
• 12:39
  name
• 12:39
  tags.
• 12:39
  We
• 12:39
  do
• 12:40
  icebreakers.
• 12:40
  I
• 12:40
  call
• 12:41
  parents.
• 12:42
  It
• 12:42
  is
• 12:42
  a
• 12:42
  very
• 12:43
  intentional
• 12:44
  five
• 12:44
  week.
• 12:45
  I
• 12:45
  want
• 12:45
  every
• 12:46
  kid
• 12:46
  to
• 12:47
  know
• 12:47
  that
• 12:47
  I'm
• 12:48
  aware
• 12:48
  they're
• 12:48
  on
• 12:48
  the
• 12:48
  volleyball
• 12:49
  team
• 12:49
  and
• 12:49
  I'm
• 12:50
  aware
• 12:50
  they're
• 12:50
  in
• 12:50
  the
• 12:50
  school
• 12:50
  play
• 12:51
  and
• 12:51
  I'm
• 12:51
  excited
• 12:52
  about
• 12:53
  the
• 12:53
  robotics
• 12:54
  competition
• 12:54
  and
• 12:55
  I
• 12:55
  go
• 12:55
  to
• 12:55
  those
• 12:55
  things
• 12:56
  and
• 12:57
  I
• 12:57
  cheer
• 12:57
  them
• 12:57
  on.
• 12:58
  And
• 12:59
  if
• 12:59
  I
• 12:59
  want
• 12:59
  a
• 12:59
  kid
• 12:59
  to
• 12:59
  care
• 13:00
  about
• 13:00
  chemistry,
• 13:01
  they
• 13:01
  have
• 13:01
  to
• 13:01
  know,
• 13:02
  Kathy,
• 13:02
  as
• 13:02
  you
• 13:02
  just
• 13:02
  said,
• 13:03
  that
• 13:03
  I
• 13:03
  care
• 13:04
  about
• 13:04
  them.
• 13:05
  And
• 13:06
  no
• 13:06
  matter
• 13:06
  what
• 13:06
  your
• 13:07
  content,
• 13:08
  they
• 13:08
  need
• 13:09
  to
• 13:09
  know
• 13:09
  that.
• 13:09
  And
• 13:10
  it's
• 13:11
  not
• 13:11
  going
• 13:11
  to
• 13:11
  happen
• 13:11
  accidentally
• 13:12
  because
• 13:12
  we're
• 13:12
  too
• 13:12
  swamped
• 13:12
  with
• 13:13
  all
• 13:13
  the
• 13:13
  other
• 13:13
  things
• 13:13
  we
• 13:14
  do.
• 13:14
  It
• 13:14
  has
• 13:14
  to
• 13:14
  be
• 13:15
  part
• 13:15
  of
• 13:15
  our
• 13:15
  intentional
• 13:16
  day
• 13:16
  to
• 13:17
  day
• 13:17
  operation
• 13:17
  of
• 13:18
  the
• 13:18
  classroom
• 13:19
  to
• 13:19
  create
• 13:19
  that
• 13:19
  space
• 13:20
  where
• 13:20
  kids
• 13:20
  then
• 13:20
  feel
• 13:21
  safe.
• 13:22
  Even
• 13:22
  feeling
• 13:22
  safe
• 13:23
  going,
• 13:23
  you
• 13:23
  know,
• 13:23
  Mr.
• 13:23
  O,
• 13:24
  I
• 13:24
  didn't
• 13:24
  really
• 13:24
  understand
• 13:25
  yesterday's
• 13:25
  lesson.
• 13:27
  Like
• 13:27
  even
• 13:27
  feeling
• 13:27
  safe
• 13:28
  enough
• 13:28
  to
• 13:28
  ask
• 13:28
  a
• 13:28
  question
• 13:30
  about
• 13:30
  basic
• 13:31
  content
• 13:31
  that
• 13:31
  we're
• 13:32
  doing,
• 13:33
  they've
• 13:33
  got
• 13:33
  to
• 13:33
  know
• 13:34
  that
• 13:34
  I'm
• 13:34
  not
• 13:34
  going
• 13:34
  to
• 13:35
  crap
• 13:35
  all
• 13:35
  over
• 13:35
  them
• 13:36
  in
• 13:36
  class
• 13:36
  and
• 13:36
  make
• 13:36
  them
• 13:36
  feel
• 13:37
  stupid.
• 13:37
  Like,
• 13:38
  oh,
• 13:38
  Michael,
• 13:38
  how
• 13:38
  could
• 13:39
  you
• 13:39
  possibly.
• 13:39
  My
• 13:39
  brilliant
• 13:40
  lesson,
• 13:40
  how
• 13:40
  could
• 13:41
  you
• 13:41
  have
• 13:41
  possibly
• 13:41
  missed
• 13:42
  that?
• 13:46
  You
• 13:46
  know,
• 13:47
  I'm
• 13:47
  thinking
• 13:48
  about
• 13:50
  some
• 13:51
  work
• 13:52
  that
• 13:52
  I've
• 13:52
  been
• 13:52
  reading
• 13:53
  recently
• 13:53
  that
• 13:53
  involves
• 13:54
  Dr.
• 13:54
  Jean
• 13:55
  Clinton,
• 13:55
  who's
• 13:56
  a
• 13:57
  pediatric
• 13:58
  psychiatrist
• 13:59
  and
• 13:59
  neuroscientist.
• 14:00
  And
• 14:00
  one
• 14:01
  of
• 14:01
  the
• 14:01
  things
• 14:01
  that
• 14:02
  she
• 14:02
  talks
• 14:03
  about
• 14:03
  is
• 14:03
  love
• 14:04
  being
• 14:04
  a
• 14:04
  brain
• 14:05
  builder
• 14:06
  and
• 14:07
  what
• 14:07
  happens
• 14:07
  neurologically
• 14:08
  to
• 14:09
  us
• 14:09
  when
• 14:09
  we
• 14:09
  feel
• 14:10
  seen
• 14:10
  and
• 14:10
  heard
• 14:11
  and
• 14:11
  cared
• 14:11
  about
• 14:12
  and
• 14:12
  a
• 14:13
  sense
• 14:13
  of
• 14:13
  belonging
• 14:14
  and
• 14:14
  how
• 14:14
  important
• 14:15
  those
• 14:15
  features
• 14:16
  are
• 14:16
  to
• 14:17
  learning.
• 14:18
  I
• 14:18
  think
• 14:18
  about
• 14:19
  the
• 14:19
  letter
• 14:19
  that
• 14:19
  you
• 14:20
  write
• 14:20
  Rich,
• 14:21
  that
• 14:21
  you
• 14:21
  did
• 14:22
  each
• 14:22
  year
• 14:23
  and
• 14:23
  the
• 14:23
  time
• 14:23
  you
• 14:24
  carved
• 14:24
  out
• 14:25
  in
• 14:25
  a
• 14:25
  chemistry
• 14:26
  class
• 14:27
  for
• 14:27
  kids
• 14:27
  to
• 14:27
  write
• 14:28
  back
• 14:28
  to
• 14:28
  you.
• 14:30
  And
• 14:30
  you
• 14:31
  know,
• 14:31
  Kath,
• 14:31
  you're
• 14:31
  absolutely
• 14:32
  right.
• 14:32
  Why
• 14:32
  would
• 14:33
  I
• 14:33
  ever
• 14:33
  text
• 14:34
  Mr.
• 14:34
  O
• 14:35
  about
• 14:35
  anything
• 14:36
  that
• 14:36
  matters
• 14:37
  unless
• 14:38
  I
• 14:39
  knew
• 14:39
  he
• 14:39
  cared?
• 14:40
  And
• 14:40
  you
• 14:41
  know,
• 14:41
  that's
• 14:41
  the
• 14:41
  old
• 14:42
  adage.
• 14:43
  Students
• 14:43
  really
• 14:44
  aren't
• 14:44
  interested
• 14:44
  in
• 14:45
  what
• 14:45
  we
• 14:45
  know
• 14:45
  until
• 14:46
  they
• 14:46
  know
• 14:46
  we
• 14:47
  care.
• 14:48
  That's
• 14:49
  absolutely
• 14:50
  right.
• 14:50
  And
• 14:51
  I'm
• 14:51
  going
• 14:51
  to
• 14:52
  step
• 14:52
  back
• 14:52
  on
• 14:52
  student
• 14:53
  voice
• 14:53
  and
• 14:53
  be
• 14:53
  a
• 14:53
  little
• 14:53
  more
• 14:53
  literal.
• 14:55
  As
• 14:55
  we
• 14:56
  age,
• 14:56
  we
• 14:56
  go
• 14:56
  backwards
• 14:57
  in
• 14:57
  Piaget.
• 14:57
  So
• 14:57
  I'm
• 14:58
  back
• 14:58
  into
• 14:58
  sort
• 14:58
  of
• 14:58
  the
• 14:58
  concrete
• 14:59
  operational
• 15:00
  very
• 15:00
  quickly
• 15:01
  going
• 15:01
  to
• 15:01
  sensory
• 15:02
  motor.
• 15:04
  We
• 15:04
  need
• 15:04
  to
• 15:05
  have
• 15:05
  students.
• 15:06
  A
• 15:06
  skill
• 15:07
  we
• 15:07
  need
• 15:07
  to
• 15:07
  do
• 15:07
  now
• 15:08
  is
• 15:08
  actually
• 15:08
  teach
• 15:09
  them
• 15:09
  to
• 15:09
  speak
• 15:10
  to
• 15:10
  one
• 15:10
  another.
• 15:11
  When
• 15:11
  Michael
• 15:11
  and
• 15:11
  I
• 15:12
  started
• 15:12
  teaching,
• 15:14
  my
• 15:14
  struggle,
• 15:14
  many
• 15:15
  young
• 15:15
  teachers
• 15:15
  struggle,
• 15:15
  was
• 15:16
  getting
• 15:16
  the
• 15:16
  class
• 15:16
  to
• 15:16
  quiet
• 15:17
  down
• 15:17
  sometimes
• 15:17
  because
• 15:17
  they
• 15:18
  were
• 15:18
  so
• 15:18
  exuberant
• 15:19
  and
• 15:19
  chatty.
• 15:19
  And
• 15:19
  as
• 15:20
  a
• 15:20
  good
• 15:20
  teacher,
• 15:20
  as
• 15:20
  a
• 15:20
  young
• 15:21
  teacher,
• 15:21
  I
• 15:21
  didn't
• 15:21
  have
• 15:21
  the
• 15:22
  tools
• 15:22
  that
• 15:22
  I
• 15:22
  got
• 15:22
  later
• 15:23
  on
• 15:24
  to
• 15:24
  harness
• 15:24
  that
• 15:25
  energy.
• 15:25
  Now
• 15:26
  I
• 15:26
  Watch
• 15:26
  young
• 15:26
  teachers
• 15:27
  and
• 15:27
  kids
• 15:27
  walk
• 15:28
  in,
• 15:28
  and
• 15:28
  there's
• 15:28
  this
• 15:28
  Zen
• 15:29
  like
• 15:29
  silence
• 15:29
  as
• 15:29
  everybody's
• 15:30
  looking
• 15:30
  at
• 15:30
  their
• 15:30
  device.
• 15:32
  And
• 15:32
  they
• 15:33
  don't
• 15:33
  feel
• 15:33
  comfortable
• 15:34
  sometimes
• 15:36
  talking
• 15:36
  with
• 15:37
  each
• 15:37
  other
• 15:37
  in
• 15:37
  a
• 15:38
  new
• 15:38
  class,
• 15:38
  with
• 15:38
  a
• 15:38
  new
• 15:39
  teacher.
• 15:40
  And
• 15:40
  so
• 15:41
  I
• 15:41
  work
• 15:41
  with
• 15:41
  my
• 15:42
  young
• 15:42
  teachers
• 15:42
  at
• 15:43
  St.
• 15:43
  John
• 15:43
  Fisher
• 15:44
  about.
• 15:45
  We're
• 15:45
  going
• 15:45
  to
• 15:45
  do
• 15:46
  an
• 15:46
  icebreaker.
• 15:47
  We're
• 15:47
  going
• 15:47
  to
• 15:47
  give
• 15:47
  them
• 15:48
  two
• 15:48
  interview
• 15:49
  questions.
• 15:49
  You
• 15:49
  got
• 15:49
  to
• 15:49
  turn
• 15:49
  to
• 15:50
  the
• 15:50
  person
• 15:50
  on
• 15:50
  your
• 15:50
  left
• 15:50
  and
• 15:51
  on
• 15:51
  your
• 15:51
  right.
• 15:51
  We're
• 15:51
  going
• 15:51
  to
• 15:51
  make
• 15:52
  them
• 15:52
  wear
• 15:52
  name
• 15:52
  tags
• 15:52
  the
• 15:53
  first
• 15:53
  day.
• 15:54
  We're
• 15:54
  going
• 15:54
  to
• 15:55
  teach
• 15:55
  things
• 15:56
  that
• 15:56
  used
• 15:56
  to
• 15:56
  be
• 15:56
  just
• 15:56
  sort
• 15:57
  of
• 15:57
  a
• 15:57
  normal
• 15:57
  part
• 15:58
  of
• 15:58
  life
• 15:59
  that,
• 15:59
  when
• 16:00
  you're
• 16:00
  used
• 16:00
  to
• 16:00
  being
• 16:00
  filtered
• 16:01
  through
• 16:01
  a
• 16:01
  screen,
• 16:02
  now
• 16:03
  feel
• 16:03
  awkward.
• 16:03
  And
• 16:04
  Derek
• 16:05
  Thompson
• 16:06
  often
• 16:06
  in
• 16:06
  his
• 16:06
  podcast,
• 16:07
  says,
• 16:07
  we
• 16:07
  don't
• 16:07
  really
• 16:07
  have
• 16:07
  an
• 16:08
  epidemic
• 16:08
  of
• 16:08
  loneliness.
• 16:09
  Loneliness.
• 16:10
  We
• 16:10
  have
• 16:10
  an
• 16:10
  epidemic
• 16:11
  of
• 16:11
  antisocial
• 16:12
  behavior.
• 16:13
  The
• 16:14
  screens
• 16:14
  have
• 16:14
  made
• 16:14
  us
• 16:15
  antisocial
• 16:16
  and
• 16:16
  less
• 16:16
  willing
• 16:17
  to
• 16:17
  have
• 16:17
  those
• 16:17
  casual
• 16:18
  chats
• 16:19
  with
• 16:19
  other
• 16:19
  humans.
• 16:20
  That's
• 16:21
  a
• 16:21
  big
• 16:21
  part
• 16:21
  of
• 16:21
  life
• 16:22
  and
• 16:22
  an
• 16:22
  even
• 16:22
  bigger
• 16:23
  part
• 16:23
  of
• 16:23
  education
• 16:23
  that
• 16:24
  we
• 16:24
  have
• 16:24
  to
• 16:24
  engage.
• 16:26
  We're
• 16:26
  all
• 16:26
  better
• 16:26
  learners
• 16:27
  when
• 16:27
  we
• 16:27
  engage
• 16:27
  with
• 16:28
  the
• 16:28
  people
• 16:28
  around
• 16:28
  us.
• 16:29
  We're
• 16:29
  all
• 16:29
  better
• 16:29
  teachers
• 16:30
  when
• 16:30
  we
• 16:30
  engage.
• 16:31
  And
• 16:32
  that
• 16:32
  has
• 16:32
  to
• 16:32
  be
• 16:32
  intentional.
• 16:33
  And
• 16:34
  it's
• 16:35
  a
• 16:35
  part
• 16:35
  of
• 16:35
  society
• 16:36
  now
• 16:36
  that
• 16:36
  we
• 16:37
  need
• 16:37
  better
• 16:37
  practice
• 16:37
  at,
• 16:38
  of
• 16:38
  actually
• 16:38
  speaking
• 16:39
  face
• 16:40
  to
• 16:40
  face
• 16:40
  and
• 16:41
  making
• 16:41
  it
• 16:41
  safe
• 16:42
  to
• 16:42
  do
• 16:42
  so.
• 16:44
  I'm
• 16:44
  just
• 16:44
  always
• 16:45
  surprised
• 16:45
  when
• 16:45
  a
• 16:45
  teacher
• 16:46
  does
• 16:46
  a
• 16:46
  think
• 16:46
  pair
• 16:47
  share.
• 16:47
  And
• 16:47
  I
• 16:47
  see
• 16:47
  kids
• 16:48
  very
• 16:48
  awkwardly.
• 16:49
  You
• 16:49
  know,
• 16:50
  they
• 16:50
  don't.
• 16:50
  They
• 16:50
  don't
• 16:50
  want
• 16:50
  to.
• 16:51
  God.
• 16:51
  I'm
• 16:51
  sitting
• 16:51
  next
• 16:52
  to
• 16:52
  Alicia,
• 16:52
  and
• 16:53
  I
• 16:53
  don't
• 16:53
  really
• 16:53
  know
• 16:53
  her
• 16:53
  from
• 16:54
  last
• 16:54
  year.
• 16:54
  And
• 16:55
  Kathy's
• 16:56
  super,
• 16:57
  you
• 16:57
  know,
• 16:57
  super
• 16:58
  vocal.
• 16:58
  And
• 16:58
  I
• 16:58
  feel
• 16:59
  quiet.
• 16:59
  I
• 16:59
  don't
• 16:59
  want
• 17:00
  to
• 17:00
  do
• 17:00
  that.
• 17:01
  So
• 17:02
  we
• 17:02
  have
• 17:02
  to
• 17:02
  create
• 17:02
  that
• 17:02
  safe
• 17:03
  space
• 17:03
  for
• 17:03
  people
• 17:04
  to
• 17:04
  use
• 17:04
  their
• 17:04
  voice.
• 17:05
  And
• 17:05
  I
• 17:05
  would
• 17:06
  say
• 17:06
  administrators
• 17:07
  have
• 17:07
  to
• 17:07
  create
• 17:07
  that
• 17:07
  same
• 17:08
  space
• 17:09
  for
• 17:09
  teachers
• 17:10
  to
• 17:10
  use
• 17:10
  their
• 17:10
  voice
• 17:11
  and
• 17:11
  to
• 17:12
  share
• 17:12
  their
• 17:12
  opinions.
• 17:13
  And
• 17:13
  it
• 17:14
  can't
• 17:14
  be
• 17:14
  in
• 17:14
  a
• 17:14
  faculty
• 17:15
  meeting
• 17:15
  in
• 17:15
  front
• 17:15
  of
• 17:15
  50.
• 17:16
  But
• 17:16
  if
• 17:16
  I
• 17:16
  want
• 17:17
  to
• 17:17
  tell
• 17:17
  Principal
• 17:18
  Pipa,
• 17:19
  you
• 17:19
  know
• 17:20
  that
• 17:20
  new
• 17:20
  program
• 17:21
  you're
• 17:21
  starting?
• 17:22
  I
• 17:22
  have
• 17:22
  some
• 17:22
  questions.
• 17:23
  I
• 17:23
  need
• 17:24
  to
• 17:24
  have
• 17:24
  a
• 17:24
  safe
• 17:25
  venue,
• 17:27
  because
• 17:27
  if
• 17:27
  Mike
• 17:27
  models
• 17:28
  that
• 17:28
  to
• 17:28
  me
• 17:29
  as
• 17:29
  a
• 17:29
  principle,
• 17:30
  then
• 17:30
  I
• 17:31
  can
• 17:31
  model
• 17:31
  that
• 17:31
  to
• 17:32
  Grant
• 17:32
  and
• 17:32
  Alicia
• 17:33
  and
• 17:33
  Kathy
• 17:33
  as
• 17:34
  my
• 17:34
  students.
• 17:35
  But
• 17:35
  if
• 17:35
  Mike
• 17:35
  says,
• 17:36
  I
• 17:36
  don't
• 17:36
  want
• 17:36
  to
• 17:36
  hear
• 17:36
  it,
• 17:37
  it's
• 17:37
  my
• 17:37
  way
• 17:38
  or
• 17:38
  the
• 17:38
  highway,
• 17:39
  then
• 17:40
  unfortunately,
• 17:40
  sometimes
• 17:41
  this
• 17:41
  teacher
• 17:41
  is
• 17:41
  weak.
• 17:42
  Carry
• 17:42
  that
• 17:42
  into
• 17:43
  our
• 17:44
  method
• 17:44
  of
• 17:44
  communication,
• 17:45
  too.
• 17:47
  So
• 17:48
  If
• 17:49
  I'm
• 17:49
  in
• 17:50
  Mr.
• 17:50
  Rich's
• 17:51
  class,
• 17:51
  I
• 17:52
  would
• 17:52
  say
• 17:52
  because
• 17:53
  I
• 17:53
  feel
• 17:53
  like
• 17:53
  I
• 17:54
  matter.
• 17:56
  So
• 17:56
  my
• 17:56
  name
• 17:56
  is
• 17:57
  Alicia,
• 17:57
  and
• 17:58
  let
• 17:58
  me
• 17:58
  tell
• 17:58
  you
• 17:58
  why
• 17:59
  it
• 17:59
  means
• 18:00
  so
• 18:00
  much
• 18:00
  to
• 18:00
  me
• 18:01
  that
• 18:01
  my
• 18:02
  Name
• 18:02
  is
• 18:02
  Alicia,
• 18:03
  because
• 18:06
  I
• 18:06
  am
• 18:06
  literally
• 18:07
  an
• 18:07
  Afro
• 18:07
  Latina,
• 18:09
  And
• 18:10
  Alicia
• 18:11
  represents
• 18:12
  50%
• 18:13
  of
• 18:13
  who
• 18:13
  I
• 18:14
  am.
• 18:14
  Right?
• 18:15
  And
• 18:16
  I
• 18:17
  love
• 18:17
  the
• 18:17
  fact
• 18:17
  that
• 18:18
  I
• 18:18
  felt
• 18:18
  comfortable
• 18:19
  sharing
• 18:20
  that
• 18:20
  in
• 18:20
  this
• 18:20
  space,
• 18:21
  right,
• 18:22
  with
• 18:23
  Mr.
• 18:23
  Rich.
• 18:24
  Or
• 18:25
  I
• 18:25
  love
• 18:26
  the
• 18:26
  fact
• 18:26
  that
• 18:27
  teachers
• 18:27
  get
• 18:28
  students
• 18:28
  get
• 18:28
  a
• 18:29
  chance
• 18:29
  to
• 18:29
  call
• 18:29
  you
• 18:29
  Mr.
• 18:30
  O.
• 18:32
  That's
• 18:32
  what
• 18:33
  building
• 18:34
  community
• 18:36
  and
• 18:36
  classroom
• 18:36
  spaces
• 18:37
  is
• 18:37
  all
• 18:38
  about,
• 18:38
  right?
• 18:39
  I
• 18:39
  hear
• 18:39
  belonging,
• 18:40
  and
• 18:40
  we
• 18:41
  talk
• 18:41
  a
• 18:41
  lot
• 18:41
  about
• 18:42
  belonging,
• 18:43
  but
• 18:43
  humanizing
• 18:45
  is
• 18:45
  at
• 18:46
  the
• 18:46
  whole
• 18:46
  different
• 18:47
  end
• 18:47
  of
• 18:47
  the
• 18:47
  spectrum.
• 18:48
  Not
• 18:48
  only
• 18:48
  do
• 18:49
  I
• 18:49
  feel
• 18:49
  safe
• 18:49
  in
• 18:50
  the
• 18:50
  space,
• 18:51
  but
• 18:51
  I
• 18:51
  know
• 18:52
  Mr.
• 18:52
  O
• 18:53
  and
• 18:53
  Grant
• 18:53
  and
• 18:54
  Kathy
• 18:54
  and
• 18:54
  Michael
• 18:55
  that
• 18:55
  I
• 18:55
  matter.
• 18:56
  That
• 18:57
  although
• 18:57
  I
• 18:58
  am
• 18:58
  the
• 18:58
  only
• 18:59
  minority
• 18:59
  of
• 19:00
  color
• 19:00
  sitting
• 19:00
  in
• 19:01
  this
• 19:01
  space,
• 19:03
  that
• 19:03
  I
• 19:03
  could
• 19:03
  uplift
• 19:04
  my
• 19:04
  voice
• 19:05
  and
• 19:05
  that
• 19:05
  I'm
• 19:05
  still
• 19:06
  loved.
• 19:06
  And
• 19:06
  that's
• 19:07
  What
• 19:07
  I
• 19:07
  hear,
• 19:08
  Mr.
• 19:08
  Odess,
• 19:09
  going
• 19:09
  on
• 19:09
  in
• 19:09
  your
• 19:10
  classroom,
• 19:11
  right.
• 19:11
  That
• 19:12
  there's
• 19:12
  some
• 19:12
  vulnerability,
• 19:14
  there's
• 19:14
  transparency,
• 19:16
  and
• 19:17
  that
• 19:17
  the
• 19:17
  teaching
• 19:17
  and
• 19:18
  learning
• 19:18
  process
• 19:19
  is
• 19:19
  reciprocal.
• 19:21
  So
• 19:21
  let
• 19:22
  me
• 19:22
  give
• 19:22
  you
• 19:22
  an
• 19:22
  example,
• 19:23
  and
• 19:23
  I
• 19:23
  really
• 19:24
  like
• 19:24
  you
• 19:24
  to
• 19:25
  give
• 19:25
  me
• 19:25
  some
• 19:25
  feedback
• 19:26
  because
• 19:26
  I
• 19:26
  hear
• 19:26
  we're
• 19:27
  both
• 19:27
  secondary
• 19:28
  educators,
• 19:28
  right?
• 19:29
  So
• 19:30
  hey,
• 19:30
  to
• 19:31
  the
• 19:31
  middle
• 19:31
  school,
• 19:31
  high
• 19:32
  school
• 19:32
  bunch,
• 19:33
  right?
• 19:33
  Give
• 19:33
  a
• 19:34
  big
• 19:34
  shout
• 19:34
  out.
• 19:35
  And
• 19:35
  then
• 19:35
  you
• 19:36
  sit
• 19:36
  in
• 19:36
  the
• 19:36
  high
• 19:36
  school
• 19:36
  principal
• 19:37
  space.
• 19:37
  And
• 19:37
  then
• 19:38
  you're
• 19:38
  like,
• 19:38
  I
• 19:38
  don't
• 19:38
  know.
• 19:39
  But
• 19:39
  anyway,
• 19:42
  when
• 19:42
  we're
• 19:42
  sitting
• 19:43
  in.
• 19:44
  In
• 19:44
  these
• 19:44
  spaces,
• 19:45
  right,
• 19:46
  and
• 19:47
  you
• 19:47
  see
• 19:47
  these
• 19:47
  communication
• 19:48
  breakdowns,
• 19:49
  right?
• 19:50
  So
• 19:51
  you're
• 19:51
  not
• 19:51
  talking
• 19:52
  to
• 19:52
  the
• 19:52
  top
• 19:52
  of
• 19:53
  the
• 19:53
  head.
• 19:53
  You're
• 19:53
  actually
• 19:54
  speaking
• 19:55
  face
• 19:55
  to
• 19:55
  face,
• 19:56
  right?
• 19:57
  How
• 19:57
  does
• 19:57
  that
• 19:58
  think
• 19:58
  pair
• 19:59
  share
• 19:59
  evolve?
• 20:00
  And
• 20:00
  I
• 20:00
  can
• 20:01
  only
• 20:01
  expect
• 20:02
  you're
• 20:02
  saying
• 20:03
  that
• 20:03
  it
• 20:04
  may
• 20:04
  happen
• 20:04
  naturally
• 20:05
  because
• 20:05
  you
• 20:06
  spend
• 20:06
  so
• 20:06
  much
• 20:07
  of
• 20:07
  that
• 20:07
  great
• 20:07
  time
• 20:08
  in
• 20:08
  the
• 20:08
  first
• 20:08
  five
• 20:09
  or
• 20:09
  six
• 20:09
  weeks
• 20:10
  getting
• 20:11
  to
• 20:11
  know
• 20:12
  your
• 20:13
  students
• 20:13
  and
• 20:13
  them
• 20:14
  in
• 20:15
  turn
• 20:15
  getting
• 20:15
  to
• 20:16
  know
• 20:16
  you.
• 20:17
  So
• 20:17
  you're
• 20:17
  no
• 20:17
  longer
• 20:18
  that
• 20:18
  sage
• 20:18
  on
• 20:19
  the
• 20:19
  stage,
• 20:19
  which
• 20:19
  is
• 20:20
  the
• 20:20
  traditional
• 20:21
  structure
• 20:21
  of
• 20:22
  teaching.
• 20:22
  You
• 20:23
  truly
• 20:23
  become
• 20:24
  that
• 20:24
  facilitator
• 20:25
  of
• 20:25
  learning.
• 20:26
  Tell
• 20:26
  us
• 20:26
  more,
• 20:27
  Rich.
• 20:27
  Alicia,
• 20:28
  you
• 20:28
  just
• 20:28
  hit
• 20:28
  on
• 20:28
  like
• 20:29
  eight
• 20:30
  key
• 20:30
  points.
• 20:32
  Mike
• 20:32
  is
• 20:33
  like
• 20:33
  going
• 20:33
  to
• 20:33
  go
• 20:33
  mic
• 20:33
  drop
• 20:34
  here
• 20:34
  because
• 20:34
  you
• 20:34
  always
• 20:34
  have
• 20:35
  the
• 20:35
  mic
• 20:35
  drop
• 20:35
  on
• 20:36
  the
• 20:36
  show.
• 20:37
  So
• 20:38
  here
• 20:38
  are
• 20:38
  two
• 20:38
  parts
• 20:39
  that
• 20:39
  you
• 20:39
  hit
• 20:39
  on
• 20:39
  that
• 20:39
  I
• 20:39
  think
• 20:39
  are
• 20:40
  really
• 20:40
  important.
• 20:41
  One,
• 20:42
  if
• 20:42
  you
• 20:42
  were
• 20:43
  in
• 20:43
  my
• 20:43
  classroom
• 20:44
  in
• 20:44
  Fairport,
• 20:45
  in
• 20:45
  a
• 20:45
  suburban
• 20:46
  district,
• 20:46
  more
• 20:47
  often
• 20:47
  than
• 20:47
  not,
• 20:47
  you
• 20:48
  might
• 20:48
  be
• 20:48
  the
• 20:48
  only
• 20:48
  person
• 20:49
  of
• 20:49
  color
• 20:49
  in
• 20:49
  the
• 20:49
  third
• 20:50
  grade
• 20:50
  class.
• 20:50
  In
• 20:50
  the
• 20:50
  chemistry
• 20:51
  class,
• 20:52
  A
• 20:52
  kid
• 20:52
  who
• 20:53
  is
• 20:53
  Jewish
• 20:53
  or
• 20:53
  Muslim
• 20:54
  might
• 20:54
  be
• 20:54
  the
• 20:54
  only
• 20:54
  Jewish
• 20:55
  or
• 20:55
  Muslim
• 20:55
  kid
• 20:55
  in
• 20:56
  my
• 20:56
  class.
• 20:56
  A
• 20:56
  kid
• 20:56
  who
• 20:57
  is
• 20:57
  non
• 20:57
  binary
• 20:57
  or
• 20:58
  transgender
• 20:58
  might
• 20:58
  be
• 20:59
  the
• 20:59
  only
• 20:59
  non
• 21:00
  binary.
• 21:00
  And
• 21:01
  so
• 21:01
  finding
• 21:01
  out
• 21:02
  that
• 21:03
  about
• 21:03
  them
• 21:04
  and
• 21:04
  making
• 21:05
  people
• 21:05
  who
• 21:05
  are
• 21:06
  minorities
• 21:06
  feel
• 21:07
  safe,
• 21:08
  There
• 21:08
  are
• 21:08
  times
• 21:08
  as
• 21:09
  a
• 21:09
  gay
• 21:09
  man
• 21:09
  where
• 21:09
  I
• 21:10
  have

  You

  15

  minutes

  of

  direct

  then

  20
• 22:37
  minutes
• 22:38
  of
• 22:38
  student
• 22:39

  where
• 22:40
  I
• 22:40
  as
• 22:40
  the
• 22:40
  teacher
• 22:41
  can
• 22:41
  walk
• 22:41
  around

  I

  can

  help
• 22:44
  Michael
• 22:44
  with
• 22:44
  that
• 22:45
  chemistry
• 22:45
  problem
• 22:45
  and
• 22:45
  I

  Kathy
• 22:46
  with

  that

  problem,
• 22:48
  but
• 22:48
  I

  can

  also
• 22:49
  overhear
• 22:49
  the

  conversation

  that

  Kathy's
• 22:52
  having
• 22:52
  with
• 22:52
  her

  Mike's

  his

  partners.
• 22:55
  And
• 22:56
  now
• 22:56
  I'm
• 22:56
  aware
• 22:56
  that
• 22:57
  there's
• 22:57
  something
• 22:57
  else
• 22:57
  going
• 22:58
  on
• 22:58
  in
• 22:58
  school

  or

  something
• 22:59
  I
• 22:59
  need
• 22:59
  to
• 22:59
  address.
• 23:01
  Or
• 23:01
  I
• 23:01
  can
• 23:01
  have
• 23:02
  the
• 23:02
  conversation
• 23:02
  with,
• 23:02
  you
• 23:03
  know,
• 23:03
  Mike,
• 23:03
  I
• 23:03
  saw
• 23:03
  you
• 23:04
  in
• 23:04
  the
• 23:04
  baseball
• 23:04
  game
• 23:05
  yesterday
• 23:05
  and
• 23:06
  that
• 23:06
  catch
• 23:06
  you
• 23:06
  made
• 23:07
  was
• 23:07
  fantastic.
• 23:08
  And
• 23:08
  Kathy,
• 23:09
  I
• 23:09
  saw
• 23:09
  you
• 23:09
  were
• 23:09
  in
• 23:10
  the
• 23:10
  school
• 23:10
  play,
• 23:10
  and
• 23:11
  I
• 23:11
  just
• 23:11
  want
• 23:11
  to
• 23:11
  say
• 23:12
  in
• 23:12
  front
• 23:12
  of
• 23:12
  your
• 23:12
  peers,
• 23:13
  it
• 23:14
  was
• 23:14
  the
• 23:15
  best
• 23:15
  Romeo
• 23:15
  and
• 23:16
  Juliet
• 23:16
  ever.
• 23:17
  And
• 23:17
  I
• 23:17
  gotta
• 23:18
  tell
• 23:18
  you,
• 23:18
  sometimes
• 23:19
  it's
• 23:19
  a
• 23:20
  gentle
• 23:20
  white
• 23:20
  lie
• 23:21
  because
• 23:21
  high
• 23:21
  school
• 23:22
  Romeo
• 23:22
  and
• 23:22
  Juliet's
• 23:23
  terrible.
• 23:25
  They
• 23:25
  all
• 23:26
  die
• 23:26
  in
• 23:26
  the
• 23:26
  end.
• 23:26
  And
• 23:27
  that's
• 23:27
  good
• 23:27
  enough.
• 23:27
  But
• 23:28
  still,
• 23:28
  if
• 23:28
  you
• 23:29
  have
• 23:29
  to
• 23:29
  say,
• 23:31
  you
• 23:31
  have
• 23:31
  to
• 23:31
  say
• 23:32
  it
• 23:32
  was
• 23:32
  the
• 23:33
  best
• 23:33
  Romeo
• 23:33
  and
• 23:34
  Juliet
• 23:34
  ever.
• 23:35
  I
• 23:35
  don't
• 23:35
  really
• 23:36
  care
• 23:36
  who
• 23:36
  won
• 23:36
  the
• 23:36
  JV
• 23:37
  baseball
• 23:37
  game,
• 23:37
  but
• 23:38
  I
• 23:38
  care
• 23:38
  about
• 23:38
  Mike.
• 23:39
  And
• 23:40
  I
• 23:40
  might
• 23:40
  not
• 23:40
  want
• 23:40
  to
• 23:40
  see
• 23:41
  the
• 23:41
  play
• 23:41
  that
• 23:41
  particular
• 23:42
  night,
• 23:42
  but
• 23:42
  I
• 23:42
  care
• 23:42
  about
• 23:43
  Kathy
• 23:44
  and
• 23:44
  I
• 23:44
  really
• 23:45
  do
• 23:45
  care.
• 23:45
  That's
• 23:45
  absolutely
• 23:46
  the
• 23:46
  event
• 23:47
  I
• 23:47
  might
• 23:47
  not
• 23:48
  care
• 23:48
  about,
• 23:48
  but
• 23:48
  the
• 23:48
  children,
• 23:49
  the
• 23:49
  humans
• 23:49
  in
• 23:50
  it,
• 23:50
  I
• 23:50
  love
• 23:50
  deeply.
• 23:51
  And
• 23:51
  part
• 23:52
  of
• 23:52
  showing
• 23:52
  love
• 23:53
  is
• 23:54
  being
• 23:54
  there
• 23:54
  for
• 23:55
  each
• 23:55
  other
• 23:56
  and
• 23:56
  just
• 23:57
  modeling
• 23:57
  presence.
• 23:59
  A
• 23:59
  lot
• 23:59
  of
• 23:59
  kids
• 24:00
  lack
• 24:00
  adult
• 24:00
  presence
• 24:01
  in
• 24:01
  their
• 24:01
  life
• 24:02
  and
• 24:02
  they
• 24:03
  value
• 24:04
  presence.
• 24:04
  And
• 24:05
  if
• 24:05
  you
• 24:05
  are
• 24:05
  present
• 24:05
  for
• 24:06
  them
• 24:06
  in
• 24:06
  part
• 24:06
  of
• 24:07
  their
• 24:07
  life
• 24:07
  outside
• 24:07
  of
• 24:08
  class,
• 24:08
  they
• 24:09
  will
• 24:09
  be
• 24:09
  very
• 24:09
  present
• 24:10
  for
• 24:10
  us.
• 24:11
  Whether
• 24:11
  they
• 24:12
  like
• 24:12
  chemistry
• 24:12
  or
• 24:12
  not,
• 24:13
  whether
• 24:13
  they
• 24:13
  like
• 24:13
  social
• 24:14
  studies
• 24:14
  or
• 24:14
  not,
• 24:14
  they
• 24:15
  will
• 24:15
  show
• 24:15
  up
• 24:16
  and
• 24:17
  they
• 24:17
  will
• 24:17
  give
• 24:17
  it
• 24:17
  their
• 24:18
  best
• 24:18
  because
• 24:18
  they
• 24:18
  know
• 24:19
  that
• 24:19
  you
• 24:19
  care.
• 24:20
  Rich,

  I

  want

  return

  Alicia's

  and

  I

  want
• 24:28
  to
• 24:28
  speak
• 24:28
  from
• 24:28
  the
• 24:29
  perspective
• 24:29
  of
• 24:31
  students

  who

  represent

  the
• 24:33
  majority
• 24:33
  in

  your

  class.
• 24:37
  What

  happens
• 24:37
  to
• 24:38
  the
• 24:39
  classroom
• 24:39
  environment
• 24:40
  when

  you
• 24:40
  take
• 24:41
  those
• 24:41
  few
• 24:42
  minutes
• 24:42
  at
• 24:43
  the

  opening

  about

  whether

  it's

  Rosh

  it's

  or
• 24:51
  a
• 24:52
  day
• 24:52
  of
• 24:52
  silence?
• 24:53
  What
• 24:53
  happens
• 24:54
  to
• 24:54
  that
• 24:54
  space
• 24:55
  for
• 24:56
  a
• 24:56
  kid
• 24:57
  like
• 24:57
  me?
• 24:59
  I
• 24:59
  have
• 24:59
  found
• 25:00
  that
• 25:03
  that
• 25:03
  little
• 25:04
  piece
• 25:04
  will
• 25:04
  sometimes
• 25:05
  allow
• 25:05
  kids
• 25:06
  to
• 25:06
  come
• 25:06
  up
• 25:08
  weeks,
• 25:09
  months,
• 25:09
  years
• 25:10
  later
• 25:10
  and
• 25:10
  say,
• 25:11
  oh,
• 25:13
  now
• 25:14
  I'm
• 25:16
  dating
• 25:16
  someone
• 25:16
  who's
• 25:17
  from
• 25:17
  a
• 25:17
  faith
• 25:17
  tradition
• 25:17
  that
• 25:18
  I
• 25:18
  wasn't
• 25:18
  part
• 25:18
  of.
• 25:19
  Or,
• 25:19
  gosh,
• 25:22
  my
• 25:22
  sister
• 25:23
  just
• 25:23
  told
• 25:23
  me
• 25:23
  yesterday
• 25:26
  that
• 25:26
  she'd
• 25:26
  prefer
• 25:27
  they,
• 25:27
  them
• 25:27
  pronouns.
• 25:28
  And
• 25:30
  our
• 25:30
  family
• 25:30
  is
• 25:30
  dealing
• 25:31
  with
• 25:31
  the
• 25:31
  transition
• 25:32
  or
• 25:33
  in
• 25:33
  some
• 25:34
  way
• 25:35
  that
• 25:36
  my
• 25:36
  15
• 25:36
  year
• 25:36
  old
• 25:37
  eyes
• 25:37
  have
• 25:37
  been
• 25:37
  opened
• 25:38
  up
• 25:39
  and
• 25:39
  that
• 25:40
  I
• 25:40
  realized,
• 25:40
  at
• 25:40
  least
• 25:41
  in
• 25:41
  this
• 25:41
  class
• 25:42
  that
• 25:42
  we're
• 25:43
  gonna
• 25:43
  celebrate
• 25:43
  and
• 25:43
  honor
• 25:44
  everyone
• 25:46
  and
• 25:46
  that
• 25:46
  it's
• 25:46
  gonna
• 25:46
  be
• 25:47
  safe.
• 25:47
  And
• 25:49
  this
• 25:49
  all
• 25:50
  sounds
• 25:50
  kind
• 25:50
  of
• 25:50
  like
• 25:50
  warm
• 25:51
  and
• 25:51
  fuzzy,
• 25:51
  but
• 25:52
  you
• 25:52
  get
• 25:53
  really
• 25:53
  good
• 25:53
  chemistry
• 25:54
  regents
• 25:54
  results
• 25:54
  or
• 25:54
  physics
• 25:55
  regents
• 25:55
  results
• 25:56
  when
• 25:56
  the
• 25:56
  kids
• 25:57
  feel
• 25:57
  safe.
• 25:58
  Because
• 25:59
  I
• 25:59
  need
• 26:00
  Alicia
• 26:01
  might
• 26:01
  be
• 26:01
  the
• 26:01
  only
• 26:01
  person
• 26:02
  of
• 26:02
  color
• 26:02
  in
• 26:02
  my
• 26:02
  class.
• 26:03
  She
• 26:03
  also
• 26:03
  might
• 26:03
  be
• 26:04
  the
• 26:04
  smartest
• 26:04
  one
• 26:04
  in
• 26:04
  physics
• 26:05
  class.
• 26:05
  And
• 26:05
  I
• 26:06
  need
• 26:06
  Mike
• 26:06
  and
• 26:06
  Kathy
• 26:07
  to
• 26:07
  feel
• 26:07
  safe
• 26:08
  talking
• 26:08
  to
• 26:08
  Alicia
• 26:09
  because
• 26:09
  I
• 26:09
  can't
• 26:10
  teach
• 26:10
  30
• 26:10
  kids
• 26:11
  individually
• 26:11
  in
• 26:12
  40
• 26:12
  minutes.
• 26:12
  I
• 26:12
  count
• 26:13
  on
• 26:13
  my
• 26:13
  students
• 26:13
  to
• 26:14
  help
• 26:14
  each
• 26:14
  other,
• 26:15
  but
• 26:15
  that's
• 26:15
  not
• 26:16
  going
• 26:16
  to
• 26:16
  happen
• 26:16
  unless
• 26:17
  everyone
• 26:18
  feels
• 26:19
  like
• 26:19
  they
• 26:19
  can
• 26:19
  turn
• 26:19
  their
• 26:20
  head
• 26:20
  and
• 26:20
  ask
• 26:20
  for
• 26:21
  help.
• 26:21
  And
• 26:21
  there
• 26:21
  are
• 26:21
  days
• 26:21
  when
• 26:22
  Alicia
• 26:22
  is
• 26:22
  going
• 26:22
  to
• 26:22
  help
• 26:23
  Kathy,
• 26:23
  and
• 26:24
  there
• 26:24
  are
• 26:24
  days
• 26:24
  when
• 26:24
  Kathy
• 26:25
  is
• 26:25
  going
• 26:25
  to
• 26:25
  help
• 26:25
  Alicia.
• 26:26
  But
• 26:26
  that
• 26:27
  only
• 26:27
  happens
• 26:28
  if
• 26:28
  we
• 26:29
  make
• 26:29
  it
• 26:29
  happen.
• 26:29
  It's
• 26:30
  not
• 26:30
  going
• 26:30
  to
• 26:30
  happen
• 26:31
  spontaneously.
• 26:32
  And
• 26:32
  so
• 26:33
  part
• 26:33
  of
• 26:33
  our
• 26:33
  lesson
• 26:33
  planning
• 26:34
  and
• 26:34
  designing
• 26:35
  our
• 26:35
  instruction
• 26:36
  has
• 26:36
  to
• 26:36
  be
• 26:37
  to
• 26:37
  foster
• 26:37
  those
• 26:38
  human
• 26:38
  interactions.
• 26:40
  And
• 26:40
  if
• 26:40
  they're
• 26:40
  helping
• 26:41
  each
• 26:41
  other,
• 26:42
  students
• 26:42
  are
• 26:43
  way
• 26:43
  better.
• 26:43
  There
• 26:43
  are
• 26:43
  days
• 26:44
  when
• 26:44
  I'm
• 26:44
  the
• 26:44
  worst
• 26:44
  teacher
• 26:45
  in
• 26:45
  the
• 26:45
  classroom
• 26:45
  because
• 26:45
  the
• 26:45
  students
• 26:46
  helping
• 26:46
  each
• 26:46
  other
• 26:47
  just
• 26:48
  have
• 26:48
  way
• 26:48
  more
• 26:49
  efficacy,
• 26:49
  where
• 26:50
  I
• 26:50
  just
• 26:50
  got
• 26:51
  to
• 26:51
  get
• 26:51
  out
• 26:51
  of
• 26:51
  there,
• 26:52
  get
• 26:52
  out
• 26:52
  of
• 26:53
  their
• 26:53
  way
• 26:53
  sometimes,
• 26:54
  and
• 26:54
  let
• 26:54
  the
• 26:54
  really
• 26:54
  smart
• 26:55
  People
• 26:55
  in
• 26:55
  front
• 26:55
  of
• 26:56
  me
• 26:56
  do
• 26:56
  their
• 26:56
  thing
• 26:58
  with
• 26:58
  my
• 26:58
  guidance.
• 26:59
  And
• 27:00
  it's
• 27:00
  a
• 27:01
  really
• 27:01
  important
• 27:01
  part
• 27:02
  because
• 27:02
  it
• 27:02
  sounds
• 27:03
  like,
• 27:03
  oh,
• 27:03
  God.
• 27:03
  One
• 27:03
  more
• 27:04
  thing
• 27:04
  we're
• 27:04
  asking
• 27:04
  people
• 27:04
  to
• 27:04
  do
• 27:05
  is
• 27:05
  get
• 27:05
  to,
• 27:06
  you
• 27:06
  know,
• 27:06
  be
• 27:07
  sensitive
• 27:07
  to
• 27:07
  all
• 27:07
  the
• 27:07
  diversity
• 27:08
  in
• 27:08
  front
• 27:08
  of
• 27:08
  us.
• 27:10
  But
• 27:10
  that's
• 27:10
  the
• 27:10
  essence.
• 27:11
  That's
• 27:11
  the
• 27:11
  essence
• 27:12
  of
• 27:12
  humanity,
• 27:12
  is
• 27:12
  being
• 27:13
  sensitive
• 27:13
  to
• 27:13
  all
• 27:14
  the
• 27:14
  diversity
• 27:15
  in
• 27:15
  front
• 27:15
  of
• 27:15
  us.
• 27:15
  That's
• 27:15
  the
• 27:15
  essence
• 27:16
  of
• 27:16
  maslow
• 27:17
  and
• 27:17
  feeling
• 27:18
  safe
• 27:18
  and
• 27:18
  learning
• 27:19
  and
• 27:19
  growing
• 27:19
  and
• 27:20
  giving
• 27:21
  people
• 27:21
  confidence.
• 27:22
  How
• 27:22
  do
• 27:22
  you
• 27:23
  let
• 27:23
  an
• 27:23
  Afro
• 27:23
  Latina
• 27:24
  woman
• 27:24
  in
• 27:24
  a
• 27:25
  school
• 27:25
  that's
• 27:25
  all
• 27:25
  white?
• 27:25
  How
• 27:26
  do
• 27:26
  we
• 27:26
  give
• 27:27
  that
• 27:27
  student
• 27:28
  the
• 27:29
  confidence
• 27:29
  to
• 27:29
  say,
• 27:30
  I
• 27:30
  matter?
• 27:31
  I
• 27:31
  want
• 27:31
  to
• 27:32
  share
• 27:32
  this
• 27:32
  opinion
• 27:33
  with
• 27:33
  you,
• 27:34
  Mr.
• 27:34
  O.
• 27:34
  I
• 27:34
  want
• 27:35
  to
• 27:35
  share
• 27:35
  this
• 27:35
  opinion
• 27:35
  with
• 27:36
  principal
• 27:36
  Pipa
• 27:37
  about
• 27:38
  this
• 27:38
  issue
• 27:38
  or
• 27:39
  that
• 27:39
  issue.
• 27:40
  They
• 27:40
  got
• 27:40
  to
• 27:40
  know
• 27:41
  they're
• 27:41
  loved.
• 27:41
  They
• 27:42
  have
• 27:42
  to
• 27:42
  know.
• 27:42
  And
• 27:43
  if
• 27:43
  we
• 27:43
  want
• 27:43
  teachers
• 27:44
  to
• 27:44
  share
• 27:44
  their
• 27:44
  opinion,
• 27:45
  we
• 27:45
  have
• 27:45
  to
• 27:45
  know
• 27:45
  we're
• 27:46
  loved.
• 27:46
  And
• 27:46
  we
• 27:47
  need
• 27:47
  administrators
• 27:48
  to
• 27:48
  say
• 27:48
  it's
• 27:48
  safe
• 27:49
  to
• 27:49
  talk
• 27:50
  to
• 27:50
  us
• 27:50
  about
• 27:50
  these
• 27:51
  things.
• 27:52
  And
• 27:52
  we
• 27:53
  have
• 27:53
  to
• 27:53
  make
• 27:53
  time
• 27:53
  for
• 27:53
  it.
• 27:54
  And
• 27:54
  it's
• 27:54
  hard
• 27:54
  because
• 27:54
  time
• 27:55
  is
• 27:55
  the
• 27:55
  thing
• 27:55
  that
• 27:55
  we
• 27:55
  have
• 27:55
  least
• 27:56
  of.
• 27:57
  So
• 27:57
  we
• 27:57
  have
• 27:57
  to
• 27:57
  be
• 27:57
  intentional
• 27:58
  about
• 27:58
  it.
• 27:59
  And
• 27:59
  yet
• 27:59
  time
• 28:00
  is
• 28:00
  what.
• 28:00
  We
• 28:00
  have
• 28:00
  total
• 28:01
  control
• 28:01
  over
• 28:02
  how
• 28:02
  we
• 28:03
  use
• 28:03
  time,
• 28:03
  right?
• 28:04
  We
• 28:04
  complain
• 28:05
  about
• 28:05
  it,
• 28:05
  but
• 28:05
  we
• 28:05
  have
• 28:05
  total
• 28:06
  control
• 28:06
  over
• 28:06
  how
• 28:06
  we
• 28:07
  use
• 28:07
  that
• 28:07
  time.
• 28:08
  I
• 28:08
  want
• 28:08
  to
• 28:09
  shift
• 28:09
  and
• 28:09
  ask
• 28:10
  a
• 28:10
  difficult
• 28:11
  question
• 28:11
  first.
• 28:12
  I
• 28:12
  think
• 28:12
  we're
• 28:12
  all.
• 28:13
  As
• 28:13
  we.
• 28:13
  As
• 28:13
  we
• 28:13
  sit
• 28:14
  here
• 28:14
  in
• 28:14
  this
• 28:14
  wheelhouse
• 28:15
  today,
• 28:16
  it
• 28:16
  becomes
• 28:16
  very
• 28:17
  obvious,
• 28:18
  very
• 28:18
  obvious
• 28:19
  why
• 28:19
  Rich
• 28:19
  Anya
• 28:20
  Bene
• 28:20
  is
• 28:20
  a
• 28:21
  member
• 28:21
  of
• 28:21
  the
• 28:21
  national
• 28:22
  teachers
• 28:22
  hall
• 28:23
  of
• 28:23
  Fame.
• 28:24
  Okay,
• 28:24
  First,
• 28:24
  I'm
• 28:25
  just
• 28:25
  going
• 28:25
  to
• 28:25
  say
• 28:25
  that.
• 28:28
  And
• 28:28
  what
• 28:29
  he
• 28:29
  talks
• 28:29
  about
• 28:30
  seems
• 28:31
  natural
• 28:32
  and
• 28:32
  easy.
• 28:33
  And
• 28:34
  holy
• 28:34
  cow,
• 28:35
  why
• 28:35
  is
• 28:35
  that
• 28:35
  not
• 28:36
  the
• 28:36
  experience
• 28:38
  that
• 28:39
  every
• 28:39
  child
• 28:40
  would
• 28:40
  have
• 28:41
  in
• 28:41
  schools?
• 28:42
  And
• 28:42
  you
• 28:42
  know
• 28:42
  where
• 28:43
  I'm
• 28:43
  going.
• 28:43
  Because
• 28:44
  we
• 28:44
  know
• 28:44
  that
• 28:44
  for
• 28:45
  the
• 28:45
  vast
• 28:45
  majority
• 28:45
  of
• 28:46
  students,
• 28:46
  right?
• 28:47
  If
• 28:47
  we
• 28:47
  study
• 28:48
  this
• 28:48
  over
• 28:49
  the
• 28:49
  last
• 28:50
  several
• 28:50
  decades,
• 28:50
  we
• 28:51
  know
• 28:51
  that
• 28:51
  for
• 28:51
  the
• 28:51
  vast
• 28:52
  majority
• 28:52
  of
• 28:52
  school,
• 28:53
  for
• 28:53
  the
• 28:54
  vast
• 28:54
  majority
• 28:54
  of
• 28:54
  students,
• 28:55
  school
• 28:55
  is
• 28:56
  not
• 28:56
  that
• 28:57
  welcoming
• 28:59
  space
• 29:00
  that
• 29:00
  we
• 29:00
  find
• 29:01
  in
• 29:01
  Mr.
• 29:01
  O's
• 29:02
  classroom,
• 29:03
  right?
• 29:04
  Many
• 29:04
  times
• 29:05
  students
• 29:05
  feel
• 29:06
  alienated.
• 29:06
  Many
• 29:07
  times
• 29:07
  students
• 29:07
  are
• 29:07
  wounded.
• 29:08
  There
• 29:08
  are
• 29:08
  all
• 29:08
  sorts
• 29:09
  of
• 29:09
  negative.
• 29:09
  We've
• 29:09
  talked
• 29:10
  about
• 29:10
  that
• 29:10
  in
• 29:11
  earlier
• 29:11
  episodes.
• 29:11
  So
• 29:12
  my
• 29:12
  question
• 29:14
  for
• 29:14
  us
• 29:14
  all
• 29:15
  is,
• 29:17
  why
• 29:17
  is
• 29:17
  it
• 29:17
  so
• 29:17
  hard?
• 29:18
  Why
• 29:20
  is
• 29:20
  humanizing
• 29:22
  and
• 29:22
  doing
• 29:22
  what
• 29:23
  you
• 29:23
  do?
• 29:24
  And
• 29:24
  I'm
• 29:24
  gonna
• 29:24
  say
• 29:24
  you
• 29:24
  were
• 29:25
  pretty
• 29:25
  brave.
• 29:25
  Cause
• 29:26
  you're
• 29:26
  my
• 29:27
  age.
• 29:27
  You
• 29:28
  might
• 29:28
  be
• 29:28
  younger,
• 29:29
  but
• 29:30
  you're
• 29:30
  close
• 29:30
  to
• 29:31
  my
• 29:31
  age.
• 29:31
  And
• 29:32
  so,
• 29:32
  you
• 29:32
  know,
• 29:33
  telling
• 29:33
  the
• 29:34
  world
• 29:34
  that
• 29:34
  you're
• 29:34
  a
• 29:34
  gay
• 29:35
  man
• 29:35
  teacher
• 29:36
  at
• 29:36
  my
• 29:36
  age.
• 29:36
  And
• 29:37
  when
• 29:37
  we
• 29:37
  did
• 29:37
  that,
• 29:37
  that
• 29:38
  was
• 29:38
  not
• 29:38
  exactly
• 29:40
  easy.
• 29:41
  It
• 29:42
  requires
• 29:42
  a
• 29:42
  little
• 29:42
  bit
• 29:42
  of
• 29:43
  courage,
• 29:44
  a
• 29:44
  little
• 29:44
  bit
• 29:44
  of
• 29:44
  courage,
• 29:44
  Right.
• 29:45
  I
• 29:45
  wore
• 29:45
  orange
• 29:45
  pants.
• 29:46
  You
• 29:46
  told
• 29:46
  everybody
• 29:48
  we
• 29:48
  did
• 29:48
  it
• 29:48
  in
• 29:49
  our
• 29:49
  own
• 29:49
  ways.
• 29:50
  Right?
• 29:50
  But
• 29:50
  why
• 29:51
  is
• 29:51
  this
• 29:53
  humanizing
• 29:54
  approach
• 29:55
  that
• 29:55
  we've
• 29:55
  been
• 29:55
  talking
• 29:56
  about,
• 29:57
  why
• 29:57
  is
• 29:57
  it
• 29:57
  so
• 29:57
  difficult
• 29:58
  for
• 29:58
  some
• 29:58
  of
• 29:58
  our
• 29:58
  teachers?
• 30:00
  I
• 30:01
  think
• 30:01
  Grant,
• 30:02
  schools
• 30:02
  are
• 30:03
  a
• 30:03
  microcosm
• 30:04
  of
• 30:04
  society
• 30:05
  and
• 30:05
  the
• 30:06
  problems
• 30:06
  we
• 30:06
  see
• 30:06
  in
• 30:06
  school
• 30:07
  are
• 30:07
  the
• 30:08
  problems
• 30:08
  we
• 30:08
  see
• 30:08
  in
• 30:09
  society.
• 30:10
  And
• 30:10
  I
• 30:10
  would
• 30:11
  say
• 30:14
  we
• 30:14
  are
• 30:14
  not
• 30:14
  always
• 30:15
  as
• 30:15
  kind
• 30:15
  and
• 30:16
  humane
• 30:16
  in
• 30:17
  this,
• 30:17
  particularly
• 30:18
  now
• 30:18
  in
• 30:18
  this
• 30:18
  digital
• 30:19
  age
• 30:19
  where
• 30:20
  we
• 30:21
  don't
• 30:21
  speak
• 30:21
  face
• 30:21
  to
• 30:21
  face,
• 30:22
  we
• 30:23
  hide
• 30:23
  behind
• 30:23
  a
• 30:23
  screen,
• 30:24
  and
• 30:25
  we
• 30:25
  are
• 30:25
  all
• 30:25
  longing
• 30:26
  for
• 30:26
  human
• 30:26
  connection.
• 30:28
  And
• 30:28
  yet
• 30:28
  we're
• 30:29
  making
• 30:29
  choices
• 30:29
  in
• 30:29
  our
• 30:30
  day
• 30:30
  to
• 30:30
  day
• 30:30
  life
• 30:31
  where
• 30:32
  we
• 30:32
  prefer
• 30:33
  not
• 30:33
  leaving
• 30:34
  the
• 30:34
  house
• 30:34
  to
• 30:34
  see
• 30:34
  a
• 30:34
  movie.
• 30:35
  We
• 30:35
  stream,
• 30:35
  we
• 30:36
  don't
• 30:36
  go
• 30:36
  to
• 30:36
  church
• 30:36
  or
• 30:36
  synagogue
• 30:37
  or
• 30:37
  mosque.
• 30:37
  We
• 30:37
  stream,
• 30:38
  we
• 30:38
  don't
• 30:38
  go
• 30:38
  to
• 30:38
  the
• 30:38
  restaurant,
• 30:39
  we
• 30:39
  get
• 30:39
  Uber
• 30:39
  eats.
• 30:40
  And
• 30:40
  every
• 30:40
  time
• 30:40
  we
• 30:41
  make
• 30:41
  that
• 30:41
  decision,
• 30:41
  we
• 30:41
  became
• 30:42
  a
• 30:42
  little
• 30:42
  bit
• 30:42
  less
• 30:43
  connected
• 30:43
  to
• 30:43
  humanity.
• 30:44
  On
• 30:45
  top
• 30:45
  of
• 30:45
  that,
• 30:46
  Covid
• 30:46
  made
• 30:46
  us
• 30:46
  fearful
• 30:47
  of
• 30:47
  others.
• 30:48
  So
• 30:48
  not
• 30:48
  only
• 30:48
  are
• 30:49
  we
• 30:49
  disconnected,
• 30:49
  but
• 30:49
  now
• 30:50
  I
• 30:50
  see
• 30:50
  Mike
• 30:50
  walking
• 30:51
  down
• 30:51
  the
• 30:51
  street
• 30:51
  and
• 30:51
  I'm
• 30:51
  going
• 30:51
  to
• 30:52
  judge
• 30:52
  him
• 30:52
  because
• 30:52
  he's
• 30:52
  not
• 30:52
  wearing
• 30:53
  a
• 30:53
  mask
• 30:53
  or
• 30:53
  whatever
• 30:54
  and
• 30:54
  I
• 30:54
  jump
• 30:55
  off
• 30:55
  the
• 30:55
  sidewalk.
• 30:56
  So
• 30:56
  now
• 30:57
  humans
• 30:57
  are
• 30:57
  not
• 30:57
  only
• 30:58
  unknown,
• 30:59
  now
• 31:00
  they're
• 31:00
  threatening
• 31:01
  to
• 31:01
  us.
• 31:02
  And
• 31:02
  I
• 31:02
  feel
• 31:03
  like
• 31:03
  just
• 31:03
  as
• 31:04
  a
• 31:04
  society,
• 31:05
  we
• 31:05
  need
• 31:05
  more
• 31:07
  face
• 31:07
  to
• 31:07
  face,
• 31:07
  human
• 31:08
  to
• 31:08
  human
• 31:08
  connection
• 31:09
  and
• 31:10
  to
• 31:10
  find
• 31:11
  venues
• 31:11
  that
• 31:11
  we
• 31:11
  can
• 31:12
  understand
• 31:12
  each
• 31:12
  other.
• 31:14
  I've
• 31:14
  learned
• 31:14
  with
• 31:14
  kids,
• 31:15
  I
• 31:15
  have
• 31:15
  learned
• 31:15
  watching
• 31:16
  sophomores,
• 31:17
  juniors,
• 31:17
  seniors
• 31:18
  in
• 31:18
  my
• 31:18
  classes
• 31:20
  when
• 31:20
  they
• 31:20
  become
• 31:21
  comfortable
• 31:22
  with
• 31:22
  themselves,
• 31:23
  when
• 31:23
  they
• 31:23
  accept
• 31:24
  who
• 31:24
  they
• 31:24
  are
• 31:24
  and
• 31:25
  all
• 31:25
  of
• 31:25
  our
• 31:25
  awkwardness
• 31:26
  and
• 31:26
  all
• 31:26
  of
• 31:26
  our
• 31:26
  nerdiness
• 31:27
  that
• 31:27
  we
• 31:28
  all
• 31:28
  carry,
• 31:28
  whatever
• 31:29
  our
• 31:29
  background
• 31:29
  is,
• 31:29
  we
• 31:30
  are
• 31:30
  all
• 31:30
  feeling
• 31:30
  awkward
• 31:31
  and
• 31:31
  nerdy
• 31:31
  through
• 31:31
  high
• 31:32
  school.
• 31:33
  Once
• 31:33
  I
• 31:33
  can
• 31:33
  love
• 31:34
  me
• 31:34
  for
• 31:34
  me,
• 31:35
  then
• 31:36
  I
• 31:36
  can
• 31:36
  love
• 31:36
  Alicia
• 31:37
  and
• 31:37
  I
• 31:37
  can
• 31:37
  love
• 31:37
  Kathy
• 31:38
  and
• 31:38
  I
• 31:38
  can
• 31:38
  love
• 31:38
  Michael
• 31:39
  because
• 31:39
  I
• 31:39
  no
• 31:39
  longer
• 31:40
  have
• 31:40
  to
• 31:40
  pick
• 31:40
  on
• 31:40
  them
• 31:41
  for
• 31:41
  being
• 31:41
  different
• 31:41
  from
• 31:41
  me
• 31:42
  and
• 31:42
  vice
• 31:43
  versa.
• 31:44
  And
• 31:44
  so
• 31:44
  I
• 31:45
  think
• 31:46
  we
• 31:46
  carry
• 31:46
  in
• 31:46
  school
• 31:47
  the
• 31:47
  challenge
• 31:48
  that
• 31:49
  outside
• 31:49
  of
• 31:49
  school
• 31:50
  as
• 31:50
  humans
• 31:51
  we
• 31:51
  are
• 31:51
  just
• 31:51
  less
• 31:51
  connected
• 31:52
  than
• 31:52
  we
• 31:52
  used
• 31:52
  to
• 31:53
  be.
• 31:54
  I'm
• 31:54
  sure
• 31:55
  you've
• 31:55
  read
• 31:55
  Bowling
• 31:55
  Alone.
• 31:56
  There's
• 31:56
  more
• 31:56
  research
• 31:57
  since
• 31:57
  that
• 31:59
  we
• 31:59
  need
• 31:59
  as
• 32:00
  humans
• 32:00
  to
• 32:00
  be
• 32:00
  more
• 32:01
  connected.
• 32:01
  So
• 32:01
  I
• 32:01
  think
• 32:01
  teachers,
• 32:02
  again,
• 32:03
  no
• 32:03
  matter
• 32:03
  what
• 32:03
  our
• 32:03
  content,
• 32:04
  if
• 32:05
  we
• 32:05
  don't
• 32:05
  recognize
• 32:06
  that
• 32:06
  and
• 32:07
  say
• 32:07
  that
• 32:07
  I've
• 32:07
  got
• 32:07
  to
• 32:08
  build
• 32:08
  community,
• 32:09
  community
• 32:09
  that
• 32:09
  maybe
• 32:10
  used
• 32:10
  to
• 32:10
  exist
• 32:10
  more
• 32:11
  strongly,
• 32:11
  I'm
• 32:11
  going
• 32:11
  to
• 32:12
  have
• 32:12
  to
• 32:12
  invest
• 32:12
  in
• 32:13
  my
• 32:13
  classroom.
• 32:14
  I
• 32:14
  have
• 32:14
  to
• 32:14
  invest.
• 32:15
  When
• 32:16
  I
• 32:16
  was
• 32:16
  a
• 32:16
  young
• 32:16
  teacher,
• 32:16
  I
• 32:17
  got
• 32:17
  hired
• 32:17
  into
• 32:17
  a
• 32:17
  department
• 32:19
  that
• 32:19
  was
• 32:19
  a
• 32:19
  little
• 32:20
  Balkanized
• 32:21
  in
• 32:21
  terms
• 32:22
  of
• 32:22
  groups
• 32:22
  and
• 32:23
  stuff.
• 32:23
  And
• 32:23
  I
• 32:24
  put
• 32:24
  a
• 32:24
  lot
• 32:24
  of
• 32:24
  professional
• 32:25
  energy
• 32:25
  and
• 32:25
  then
• 32:25
  others
• 32:26
  did
• 32:27
  into
• 32:27
  building
• 32:27
  that
• 32:28
  community.
• 32:28
  When
• 32:28
  I
• 32:28
  was
• 32:28
  a
• 32:29
  union
• 32:29
  rep.
• 32:30
  Now
• 32:30
  I've
• 32:30
  got
• 32:30
  to
• 32:30
  build
• 32:31
  community
• 32:31
  amongst
• 32:32
  the
• 32:32
  entire
• 32:32
  school.
• 32:33
  And,
• 32:33
  you
• 32:33
  know,
• 32:33
  the
• 32:33
  social
• 32:33
  studies
• 32:34
  teachers
• 32:34
  look
• 32:34
  at
• 32:35
  the
• 32:35
  math
• 32:35
  teachers
• 32:35
  a
• 32:36
  little
• 32:36
  sketchy.
• 32:36
  And
• 32:36
  the
• 32:36
  math
• 32:37
  teachers
• 32:37
  think
• 32:37
  the
• 32:37
  English
• 32:37
  teachers
• 32:38
  are
• 32:38
  terrible
• 32:39
  human
• 32:39
  beings.
• 32:40
  We're
• 32:41
  all
• 32:41
  so
• 32:41
  isolated.
• 32:43
  And
• 32:43
  so
• 32:43
  I
• 32:43
  happened
• 32:44
  to
• 32:44
  work
• 32:44
  for
• 32:44
  a
• 32:44
  great
• 32:44
  principal,
• 32:45
  Dave
• 32:45
  Paddock,
• 32:46
  who
• 32:46
  was
• 32:46
  just
• 32:47
  so
• 32:48
  focused
• 32:48
  on
• 32:49
  building
• 32:49
  community,
• 32:50
  and
• 32:50
  a
• 32:50
  superintendent,
• 32:51
  Bill
• 32:51
  Kayla,
• 32:51
  who
• 32:51
  was
• 32:52
  so
• 32:52
  focused
• 32:53
  on
• 32:53
  making
• 32:53
  people
• 32:54
  feel
• 32:54
  safe.
• 32:56
  Good
• 32:56
  leadership
• 32:57
  in
• 32:57
  the
• 32:57
  classroom
• 32:58
  can
• 32:58
  make
• 32:58
  kids
• 32:58
  feel
• 32:58
  safe.
• 32:59
  Good
• 32:59
  leadership
• 33:00
  in
• 33:00
  the
• 33:00
  district
• 33:01
  can
• 33:01
  build
• 33:01
  community
• 33:02
  amongst
• 33:03
  the
• 33:03
  teachers
• 33:03
  and
• 33:04
  the
• 33:04
  staff.
• 33:04
  And,
• 33:05
  yeah,
• 33:05
  we
• 33:05
  don't
• 33:05
  sing
• 33:07
  kumbaya
• 33:07
  and
• 33:08
  hug
• 33:08
  every
• 33:08
  morning,
• 33:09
  but
• 33:10
  we're
• 33:10
  pretty
• 33:10
  tight.
• 33:11
  In
• 33:11
  my
• 33:11
  department,
• 33:12
  we're
• 33:13
  still
• 33:13
  a
• 33:13
  very
• 33:13
  tight
• 33:14
  group.
• 33:14
  Even
• 33:14
  though
• 33:14
  I'm
• 33:14
  retired,
• 33:16
  we
• 33:16
  celebrate
• 33:16
  birthdays,
• 33:17
  we
• 33:17
  go
• 33:17
  out
• 33:17
  to
• 33:17
  dinner,
• 33:18
  we
• 33:18
  text.
• 33:19
  We
• 33:19
  go
• 33:19
  to
• 33:19
  weddings
• 33:20
  and
• 33:20
  funerals
• 33:20
  to
• 33:21
  support
• 33:21
  each
• 33:21
  other
• 33:24
  presence,
• 33:24
  being
• 33:25
  there.
• 33:26
  Having
• 33:26
  the
• 33:26
  courage
• 33:27
  to
• 33:27
  say
• 33:27
  I
• 33:27
  love
• 33:27
  you.
• 33:28
  Having
• 33:29
  the
• 33:29
  courage
• 33:30
  to
• 33:30
  say
• 33:30
  I
• 33:31
  love
• 33:31
  you.
• 33:31
  And
• 33:32
  as
• 33:32
  a
• 33:32
  teacher,
• 33:33
  you
• 33:33
  can
• 33:33
  say
• 33:33
  I
• 33:33
  love
• 33:33
  you
• 33:34
  by
• 33:34
  going
• 33:34
  to
• 33:34
  the
• 33:34
  school
• 33:35
  play,
• 33:36
  or
• 33:36
  you
• 33:37
  can
• 33:37
  say,
• 33:37
  I
• 33:37
  care
• 33:38
  about
• 33:38
  you
• 33:38
  deeply.
• 33:39
  Or
• 33:40
  sometimes
• 33:40
  you
• 33:41
  can
• 33:41
  just
• 33:41
  say,
• 33:41
  I
• 33:41
  love
• 33:42
  you.
• 33:42
  Kids,
• 33:42
  it's
• 33:42
  prom
• 33:43
  weekend.
• 33:43
  Please
• 33:43
  be
• 33:44
  careful.
• 33:45
  Having
• 33:45
  the
• 33:45
  courage
• 33:47
  to
• 33:47
  tell
• 33:47
  our
• 33:47
  colleagues,
• 33:49
  you
• 33:49
  know,
• 33:49
  Michael,
• 33:49
  we've
• 33:49
  been
• 33:50
  teachers
• 33:50
  for
• 33:50
  20
• 33:50
  years,
• 33:51
  and
• 33:52
  I
• 33:52
  love
• 33:53
  you
• 33:53
  a
• 33:53
  lot.
• 33:53
  You're
• 33:53
  just
• 33:53
  a
• 33:54
  very
• 33:54
  important
• 33:54
  part
• 33:54
  of
• 33:54
  my
• 33:55
  life
• 33:56
  that
• 33:57
  can
• 33:57
  be
• 33:57
  humanizing.
• 33:58
  And
• 34:00
  we
• 34:00
  have
• 34:00
  to
• 34:00
  model
• 34:01
  that.
• 34:01
  We
• 34:01
  have
• 34:02
  to
• 34:02
  model
• 34:02
  overt
• 34:03
  love.
• 34:03
  We
• 34:04
  have
• 34:04
  to
• 34:04
  model
• 34:05
  unconditional
• 34:06
  positive
• 34:07
  regard.
• 34:07
  As
• 34:07
  Carl
• 34:08
  Rogers
• 34:08
  used
• 34:08
  to
• 34:08
  talk
• 34:09
  about,
• 34:09
  it
• 34:10
  still
• 34:10
  may
• 34:10
  be
• 34:10
  the
• 34:10
  most
• 34:11
  important
• 34:11
  thing
• 34:12
  in
• 34:12
  the
• 34:12
  classroom.
• 34:14
  So
• 34:14
  not
• 34:14
  to
• 34:15
  be
• 34:15
  cliche,
• 34:16
  this
• 34:17
  work
• 34:17
  takes
• 34:17
  a
• 34:18
  village.
• 34:19
  And
• 34:20
  in
• 34:20
  saying
• 34:21
  that,
• 34:21
  what
• 34:22
  happens
• 34:23
  where
• 34:24
  the
• 34:24
  norm
• 34:25
  is
• 34:26
  across
• 34:26
  the
• 34:27
  country,
• 34:27
  that
• 34:28
  systems
• 34:28
  are
• 34:28
  broken
• 34:29
  and
• 34:29
  fractured.
• 34:31
  So
• 34:32
  courage,
• 34:33
  you
• 34:34
  know,
• 34:34
  I
• 34:34
  look
• 34:34
  at
• 34:34
  the
• 34:34
  courage
• 34:35
  on
• 34:36
  a
• 34:36
  meter,
• 34:37
  right?
• 34:37
  So
• 34:37
  it
• 34:38
  may
• 34:38
  not
• 34:38
  take
• 34:38
  that
• 34:38
  much
• 34:39
  courage
• 34:39
  here
• 34:39
  because
• 34:39
  we're
• 34:40
  all
• 34:40
  on
• 34:40
  the
• 34:40
  same
• 34:41
  page.
• 34:41
  We're
• 34:41
  authentically
• 34:42
  engaged.
• 34:42
  We're
• 34:43
  moving
• 34:43
  towards
• 34:44
  a
• 34:44
  shared
• 34:44
  meaning.
• 34:45
  Common
• 34:46
  language
• 34:46
  is.
• 34:47
  Is
• 34:47
  our
• 34:47
  superpower.
• 34:48
  You
• 34:48
  know,
• 34:49
  I
• 34:49
  could
• 34:49
  go
• 34:49
  on
• 34:49
  and
• 34:50
  on,
• 34:51
  but
• 34:51
  more
• 34:51
  often,
• 34:52
  not
• 34:53
  especially
• 34:54
  in
• 34:54
  this
• 34:54
  political
• 34:55
  climate,
• 34:56
  people
• 34:56
  have
• 34:57
  fear.
• 34:57
  Systems
• 34:58
  are
• 34:58
  broken.
• 34:59
  They're
• 35:00
  just
• 35:00
  trying
• 35:00
  to
• 35:01
  save
• 35:01
  themselves,
• 35:03
  right?
• 35:03
  You
• 35:03
  know,
• 35:04
  sos
• 35:05
  they're
• 35:05
  setting
• 35:06
  up
• 35:06
  those
• 35:06
  smoke
• 35:07
  signals.
• 35:07
  Everything
• 35:08
  is
• 35:08
  out,
• 35:09
  right?
• 35:09
  They
• 35:10
  need
• 35:10
  a
• 35:10
  life
• 35:11
  jacket.
• 35:11
  They
• 35:11
  need
• 35:12
  the
• 35:12
  lifesaver.
• 35:13
  They
• 35:13
  don't
• 35:13
  even
• 35:13
  know
• 35:13
  where
• 35:14
  to
• 35:14
  go.
• 35:15
  What
• 35:15
  happens
• 35:16
  when
• 35:16
  systems
• 35:17
  are
• 35:17
  broken?
• 35:18
  And
• 35:18
  then
• 35:18
  on
• 35:18
  top
• 35:18
  of
• 35:19
  that,
• 35:19
  influenced
• 35:20
  by
• 35:21
  the
• 35:21
  climate
• 35:21
  that
• 35:22
  we're
• 35:22
  sitting
• 35:23
  in,
• 35:23
  how
• 35:23
  do
• 35:24
  we
• 35:24
  heal
• 35:24
  those
• 35:25
  wounds?
• 35:25
  How
• 35:25
  do
• 35:26
  we
• 35:26
  make
• 35:27
  courage
• 35:27
  rise?
• 35:28
  I'd
• 35:29
  like
• 35:29
  to
• 35:29
  talk
• 35:29
  about
• 35:29
  that
• 35:30
  a
• 35:30
  little
• 35:30
  bit.
• 35:32
  Good
• 35:32
  question.
• 35:33
  And
• 35:33
  honestly,
• 35:36
  I
• 35:36
  don't
• 35:36
  see
• 35:36
  any
• 35:37
  policy
• 35:38
  or
• 35:38
  bill
• 35:38
  or
• 35:39
  law
• 35:40
  that
• 35:40
  can
• 35:40
  mandate
• 35:40
  courage
• 35:41
  or
• 35:41
  love.
• 35:42
  So
• 35:43
  I
• 35:43
  think
• 35:44
  we
• 35:45
  the
• 35:45
  old
• 35:45
  bumper
• 35:46
  sticker,
• 35:46
  think
• 35:46
  globally,
• 35:47
  act
• 35:47
  locally.
• 35:48
  What
• 35:48
  I
• 35:49
  can
• 35:49
  control
• 35:49
  as
• 35:49
  a
• 35:49
  teacher
• 35:50
  starts
• 35:51
  in
• 35:51
  my
• 35:51
  classroom
• 35:51
  as
• 35:51
  a
• 35:51
  young
• 35:52
  teacher.
• 35:52
  I
• 35:52
  can
• 35:52
  control
• 35:53
  that
• 35:53
  as
• 35:54
  I
• 35:54
  get
• 35:54
  to
• 35:54
  be
• 35:54
  an
• 35:54
  older
• 35:55
  teacher
• 35:55
  now.
• 35:55
  I
• 35:56
  can
• 35:56
  maybe
• 35:56
  have
• 35:56
  influence
• 35:57
  on
• 35:57
  my
• 35:57
  department,
• 35:58
  maybe
• 35:59
  even
• 35:59
  on
• 35:59
  my
• 35:59
  school
• 35:59
  if
• 36:00
  I
• 36:00
  become
• 36:00
  a
• 36:00
  union
• 36:01
  rep
• 36:01
  or
• 36:01
  a
• 36:01
  teacher
• 36:02
  leader
• 36:02
  and
• 36:03
  I
• 36:03
  find
• 36:03
  my
• 36:03
  colleagues
• 36:04
  and
• 36:04
  boy,
• 36:05
  I
• 36:05
  had.
• 36:07
  I
• 36:07
  had
• 36:07
  a
• 36:07
  colleague,
• 36:08
  Marsha,
• 36:09
  who
• 36:09
  paid
• 36:09
  for
• 36:09
  the
• 36:10
  college
• 36:10
  application
• 36:11
  fee
• 36:11
  of
• 36:11
  a
• 36:11
  student
• 36:12
  because
• 36:12
  a
• 36:12
  student
• 36:12
  was
• 36:12
  estranged
• 36:13
  from
• 36:13
  a
• 36:13
  parent.
• 36:14
  I
• 36:14
  had
• 36:14
  a
• 36:14
  colleague
• 36:15
  that
• 36:15
  drove
• 36:16
  from
• 36:17
  Rochester
• 36:17
  to
• 36:17
  Albany
• 36:18
  and
• 36:18
  back
• 36:19
  to
• 36:19
  see
• 36:19
  a
• 36:19
  kid
• 36:20
  in
• 36:20
  Conifer
• 36:20
  park
• 36:20
  who
• 36:21
  was
• 36:21
  in
• 36:21
  rehab
• 36:22
  and
• 36:22
  just
• 36:22
  wanted
• 36:22
  to
• 36:23
  have
• 36:23
  lunch
• 36:23
  with
• 36:23
  that
• 36:24
  kid
• 36:24
  for
• 36:24
  a
• 36:25
  day.
• 36:25
  I
• 36:25
  had
• 36:25
  a
• 36:25

  to

  his

  mom's

  house
• 36:27
  to

  get

  bring

  to

  a

  was

  sleeping

  the

  couldn't

  stay
• 36:32
  awake

• 36:33
  I
• 36:33
  can
• 36:34
  go
• 36:34
  on
• 36:34
  and
• 36:34
  on.
• 36:34
  You
• 36:35
  find
• 36:35
  your
• 36:35
  colleagues.
• 36:36
  I
• 36:36
  have
• 36:36
  worked
• 36:37
  with
• 36:37
  so
• 36:37
  many
• 36:38
  humane
• 36:38
  colleagues
• 36:39
  and
• 36:39
  you
• 36:40
  start
• 36:40
  to
• 36:40
  be
• 36:40
  overt
• 36:41
  that
• 36:42
  this
• 36:42
  is
• 36:42
  a,
• 36:42
  you
• 36:42
  know,
• 36:42
  that
• 36:43
  this
• 36:43
  is
• 36:43
  what
• 36:43
  teachers
• 36:44
  do
• 36:44
  and
• 36:44
  we
• 36:45
  share
• 36:45
  the
• 36:45
  stories
• 36:46
  and
• 36:46
  we
• 36:47
  try
• 36:47
  to
• 36:47
  model
• 36:48
  this
• 36:49
  behavior
• 36:49
  and
• 36:50
  it's
• 36:50
  slow
• 36:51
  and
• 36:51
  it's
• 36:51
  inch
• 36:52
  by
• 36:52
  inch.
• 36:53
  But
• 36:53
  I
• 36:53
  believe
• 36:53
  there
• 36:54
  are
• 36:54
  a
• 36:54
  lot
• 36:54
  of
• 36:54
  good
• 36:55
  humanizing
• 36:55
  people
• 36:56
  out
• 36:56
  there
• 36:56
  that
• 36:57
  sometimes
• 36:57
  even
• 36:57
  feel
• 36:57
  a
• 36:58
  little
• 36:58
  embarrassed
• 36:58
  about
• 36:59
  sharing
• 37:00
  the
• 37:00
  things
• 37:00
  that
• 37:00
  they're
• 37:01
  doing
• 37:01
  because
• 37:01
  you
• 37:02
  know,
• 37:02
  there's
• 37:02
  a
• 37:02
  certain
• 37:02
  ethos
• 37:03
  in
• 37:03
  the
• 37:03
  faculty
• 37:04
  or
• 37:04
  in
• 37:04
  the
• 37:04
  staff.
• 37:05
  I
• 37:06
  don't
• 37:06
  want
• 37:06
  people
• 37:06
  to
• 37:06
  know
• 37:08
  and
• 37:09
  teachers
• 37:09
  are
• 37:09
  doing.
• 37:09
  There's
• 37:10
  a
• 37:10
  lot
• 37:10
  of
• 37:10
  teachers
• 37:10
  doing
• 37:11
  great
• 37:11
  things
• 37:11
  and
• 37:11
  administrators
• 37:13
  and
• 37:14
  we
• 37:14
  just
• 37:14
  have
• 37:14
  to
• 37:14
  start
• 37:14
  micro
• 37:15
  and
• 37:15
  say
• 37:16
  I'm
• 37:16
  going
• 37:16
  to
• 37:16
  deal
• 37:16
  with
• 37:16
  the

  humans
• 37:17
  in

  front
• 37:17
  of
• 37:17
  me
• 37:18
  as

  a

  teacher,
• 37:18
  it's
• 37:19
  my

  class.
• 37:19
  As
• 37:19
  a
• 37:19
  principal,
• 37:20
  I'm
• 37:20
  going
• 37:20
  to
• 37:20
  deal
• 37:20
  with
• 37:20
  my
• 37:21
  staff.
• 37:21
  I
• 37:22
  can't
• 37:22
  change
• 37:22
  the
• 37:22
  world,
• 37:23
  but
• 37:23
  boy,
• 37:23
  I
• 37:23
  can
• 37:23
  change
• 37:25
  public

  school
• 37:25
  number
• 37:26
  42
• 37:27

  I'm

  charge
• 37:27
  of
• 37:27
  here
• 37:28
  and
• 37:28
  feel

  that
• 37:29
  we
• 37:29
  have
• 37:29
  the

  efficacy
• 37:31
  and
• 37:33
  one
• 37:33
  way
• 37:33
  back.
• 37:33
  And
• 37:34
  this

  all
• 37:34
  circles

• 37:37
  A

  great

  lesson
• 37:38
  that
• 37:38
  a

  Student

• 37:42
  It's

  an

  called

  Voices

  where

  you

  your,

  if

  you're

  a

  everyone

  in

  your

  write

  narrative
• 37:53
  about

  their

  experience.
• 37:54
  I
• 37:54
  am
• 37:55
  the
• 37:55
  voice
• 37:55
  of
• 37:55
  a
• 37:55
  student
• 37:55
  of
• 37:56
  color.
• 37:56
  I
• 37:56
  am
• 37:56
  the
• 37:56
  voice
• 37:57
  of
• 37:57
  a
• 37:57
  gay
• 37:57
  student.
• 37:57
  I
• 37:57
  am
• 37:58
  the
• 37:58
  voice
• 37:58
  of
• 37:58
  a
• 37:59
  student
• 37:59
  of
• 37:59
  divorced
• 37:59
  parents.
• 38:00
  I
• 38:00
  am
• 38:00
  the
• 38:00
  voice
• 38:01
  of
• 38:01
  a
• 38:01
  girl
• 38:02
  with
• 38:02
  body
• 38:02
  issues.
• 38:02
  I
• 38:03
  am
• 38:03
  the
• 38:03
  voice
• 38:04
  of
• 38:04
  a
• 38:04
  math
• 38:04
  teacher.
• 38:05
  I'm
• 38:05
  the
• 38:05
  voice
• 38:05
  of
• 38:05
  an
• 38:06
  English
• 38:06
  teacher.
• 38:07
  And
• 38:07
  then
• 38:07
  what
• 38:08
  we
• 38:08
  do
• 38:08
  is
• 38:08
  they're
• 38:09
  written
• 38:09
  first
• 38:09
  person,
• 38:09
  but
• 38:10
  anonymously.
• 38:10
  And
• 38:11
  then
• 38:11
  you
• 38:11
  have
• 38:12
  other
• 38:12
  people
• 38:12
  read.
• 38:13
  So
• 38:13
  I
• 38:13
  might
• 38:13
  read
• 38:14
  your
• 38:14
  voice,
• 38:15
  and
• 38:15
  you
• 38:15
  might
• 38:16
  read
• 38:16
  Grant's
• 38:17
  voice.
• 38:18
  The
• 38:19
  transformation
• 38:19
  that
• 38:20
  can
• 38:20
  happen
• 38:21
  when
• 38:21
  people
• 38:21
  are
• 38:22
  given
• 38:22
  the
• 38:22
  power
• 38:22
  to
• 38:23
  speak
• 38:23
  and
• 38:24
  I
• 38:24
  have
• 38:24
  to
• 38:24
  sit
• 38:24
  and
• 38:25
  listen.
• 38:25
  I
• 38:25
  see
• 38:25
  a
• 38:25
  white
• 38:26
  person
• 38:26
  reading.
• 38:26
  I'm
• 38:27
  the
• 38:27
  voice
• 38:27
  of
• 38:27
  a
• 38:27
  person
• 38:27
  of
• 38:28
  color.
• 38:28
  I
• 38:29
  see
• 38:29
  an
• 38:29
  athlete
• 38:30
  saying,
• 38:30
  I'm
• 38:30
  the
• 38:30
  voice
• 38:31
  of
• 38:31
  a
• 38:32
  closeted
• 38:33
  transgender
• 38:33
  person.
• 38:36
  That
• 38:37
  freedom,
• 38:37
  that
• 38:38
  knowledge,
• 38:38
  that
• 38:39
  humanity
• 38:39
  that
• 38:39
  comes
• 38:40
  from
• 38:40
  giving
• 38:40
  people
• 38:41
  voice
• 38:42
  again
• 38:43
  makes
• 38:43
  them
• 38:43
  more
• 38:43
  comfortable
• 38:44
  with
• 38:44
  themselves,
• 38:44
  which
• 38:45
  makes
• 38:45
  them
• 38:45
  love
• 38:45
  others
• 38:46
  more.
• 38:46
  And
• 38:46
  I,
• 38:47
  I
• 38:47
  feel
• 38:48
  fortunate
• 38:48
  to
• 38:48
  have
• 38:48
  worked
• 38:48
  with
• 38:49
  just
• 38:49
  a
• 38:49
  lot
• 38:49
  of
• 38:50
  great
• 38:50
  people.
• 38:51
  But
• 38:51
  systemically,
• 38:52
  it
• 38:52
  didn't
• 38:52
  happen
• 38:53
  in
• 38:53
  a
• 38:53
  day.
• 38:53
  It
• 38:53
  doesn't
• 38:54
  happen
• 38:54
  in
• 38:54
  a
• 38:54
  week.
• 38:55
  It's
• 38:55
  week
• 38:56
  after
• 38:56
  week,
• 38:56
  year
• 38:57
  after
• 38:57
  year,
• 38:58
  and
• 38:59
  normalizing
• 38:59
  it,
• 39:00
  getting
• 39:00
  it
• 39:00
  to
• 39:00
  the
• 39:00
  point
• 39:01
  where
• 39:01
  it's
• 39:01
  normal
• 39:02
  to
• 39:04
  be
• 39:05
  compassionate
• 39:06
  to
• 39:06
  the
• 39:06
  adults
• 39:07
  so
• 39:07
  the
• 39:07
  adults
• 39:08
  can
• 39:08
  be
• 39:08
  compassionate
• 39:09
  to
• 39:09
  the
• 39:09
  students.
• 39:10
  It
• 39:10
  all
• 39:11
  trickles
• 39:11
  down
• 39:12
  and
• 39:12
  trickles
• 39:12
  back
• 39:12
  up,
• 39:14
  and
• 39:14
  it's
• 39:14
  hard
• 39:15
  work,
• 39:15
  and
• 39:15
  it
• 39:15
  doesn't
• 39:16
  happen
• 39:16
  everywhere,
• 39:16
  and
• 39:17
  it
• 39:17
  doesn't
• 39:17
  happen
• 39:18
  as
• 39:19
  quickly
• 39:19
  as
• 39:19
  we
• 39:19
  would
• 39:20
  like.
• 39:21
  And,
• 39:21
  you
• 39:21
  know,
• 39:22
  from
• 39:22
  a
• 39:22
  kid's
• 39:22
  experience,
• 39:23
  you
• 39:23
  hope
• 39:23
  at
• 39:23
  the
• 39:24
  secondary
• 39:24
  level,
• 39:24
  if
• 39:25
  they've
• 39:25
  gotten,
• 39:25
  you
• 39:25
  know,
• 39:26
  eight
• 39:26
  teachers
• 39:26
  in
• 39:26
  a
• 39:26
  day,
• 39:27
  you
• 39:28
  hope
• 39:28
  they
• 39:28
  hit
• 39:28
  it
• 39:28
  big
• 39:29
  and
• 39:29
  they
• 39:29
  get,
• 39:30
  you
• 39:30
  know,
• 39:30
  three
• 39:31
  or
• 39:32
  four
• 39:32
  that
• 39:33
  are
• 39:33
  going
• 39:33
  to
• 39:33
  be
• 39:33
  really
• 39:34
  super,
• 39:34
  you
• 39:34
  know,
• 39:35
  engaged
• 39:35
  with
• 39:35
  them
• 39:35
  and
• 39:36
  involved.
• 39:37
  You
• 39:37
  know,
• 39:37
  at
• 39:37
  the
• 39:38
  elementary
• 39:38
  level,
• 39:38
  it's
• 39:38
  more
• 39:39
  challenging
• 39:39
  because
• 39:39
  they're
• 39:39
  with
• 39:40
  one
• 39:40
  person
• 39:40
  all
• 39:40
  day
• 39:40
  long.
• 39:42
  So
• 39:43
  trying
• 39:43
  to
• 39:43
  normalize
• 39:44
  that
• 39:44
  behavior
• 39:45
  to
• 39:45
  meet
• 39:45
  those
• 39:46
  needs
• 39:47
  of
• 39:47
  kids
• 39:47
  is
• 39:48
  challenging.
• 39:49
  And
• 39:50
  likewise,
• 39:51
  our
• 39:51
  teachers
• 39:51
  carry
• 39:51
  our
• 39:52
  invisible
• 39:52
  backpacks,
• 39:53
  too.
• 39:54
  Teachers
• 39:54
  who
• 39:54
  are
• 39:54
  loved
• 39:55
  will
• 39:55
  love
• 39:55
  their
• 39:56
  students
• 39:56
  in
• 39:57
  return.
• 39:57
  And
• 39:58
  I
• 39:59
  know
• 39:59
  that
• 39:59
  Michael
• 39:59
  was
• 39:59
  exceptional
• 40:00
  about
• 40:00
  that.
• 40:01
  I've
• 40:01
  spoken
• 40:02
  with
• 40:02
  people
• 40:02
  that
• 40:03
  he
• 40:03
  had
• 40:03
  supervisory
• 40:04
  powers
• 40:05
  over,
• 40:05
  and
• 40:06
  I
• 40:06
  know
• 40:06
  there
• 40:06
  are
• 40:06
  days
• 40:06
  as
• 40:07
  a
• 40:07
  principal,
• 40:07
  you
• 40:08
  want
• 40:08
  to
• 40:08
  pull
• 40:08
  your
• 40:08
  hair
• 40:09
  out
• 40:09
  and
• 40:09
  just,
• 40:10
  like,
• 40:10
  bop
• 40:10
  someone
• 40:11
  over
• 40:11
  the
• 40:11
  head
• 40:11
  and
• 40:11
  say,
• 40:11
  I
• 40:11
  can't
• 40:12
  believe
• 40:12
  you
• 40:12
  did
• 40:12
  that.
• 40:13
  But
• 40:13
  most
• 40:14
  of
• 40:14
  the
• 40:14
  time,
• 40:14
  Michael
• 40:14
  is
• 40:15
  able
• 40:15
  to
• 40:15
  filter
• 40:15
  that,
• 40:17
  keep
• 40:17
  those
• 40:18
  internal
• 40:18
  thoughts,
• 40:19
  and
• 40:19
  say,
• 40:20
  rich,
• 40:21
  when
• 40:21
  you
• 40:21
  said
• 40:22
  in
• 40:22
  front
• 40:22
  of
• 40:22
  the
• 40:22
  students,
• 40:24
  you
• 40:24
  all
• 40:24
  suck
• 40:25
  at
• 40:25
  chemistry
• 40:25
  today,
• 40:26
  what
• 40:26
  you
• 40:26
  really
• 40:26
  meant
• 40:27
  to
• 40:27
  say
• 40:28
  was,
• 40:29
  I
• 40:29
  don't
• 40:29
  think
• 40:30
  you've
• 40:30
  grasped
• 40:30
  my
• 40:31
  lesson.
• 40:35
  You
• 40:35
  know,
• 40:35
  Alicia,
• 40:36
  I,
• 40:36
  I
• 40:36
  love
• 40:37
  that
• 40:37
  you
• 40:38
  pushed
• 40:38
  Rich
• 40:38
  in
• 40:38
  this
• 40:39
  direction.
• 40:39
  And
• 40:39
  I'm
• 40:40
  hearing
• 40:41
  Dr.
• 40:42
  Duane
• 40:42
  Chisholm
• 40:43
  again,
• 40:44
  where
• 40:44
  he's
• 40:45
  exhorting
• 40:45
  us
• 40:46
  that
• 40:46
  to
• 40:47
  pay
• 40:47
  attention
• 40:47
  to
• 40:47
  the
• 40:48
  power
• 40:48
  of
• 40:48
  one.
• 40:49
  You
• 40:50
  know,
• 40:50
  don't
• 40:50
  wait
• 40:51
  for
• 40:51
  somebody
• 40:51
  to
• 40:51
  ride
• 40:51
  in
• 40:52
  and
• 40:52
  lead
• 40:52
  the
• 40:52
  way,
• 40:53
  you
• 40:53
  know?
• 40:54
  You
• 40:54
  know,
• 40:54
  I,
• 40:54
  I,
• 40:54
  I
• 40:55
  think
• 40:55
  about
• 40:56
  Postman's
• 40:57
  teaching
• 40:57
  as
• 40:57
  a
• 40:57
  subversive
• 40:58
  activity
• 41:00
  because
• 41:00
  as
• 41:01
  educators,
• 41:01
  we're
• 41:02
  subversive
• 41:03
  on
• 41:03
  behalf
• 41:03
  of
• 41:04
  humanity.
• 41:05
  And
• 41:06
  the
• 41:07
  drivers
• 41:07
  that
• 41:08
  exist
• 41:08
  in
• 41:08
  the
• 41:08
  world
• 41:09
  tend
• 41:10
  to
• 41:11
  distract
• 41:12
  us
• 41:13
  by
• 41:13
  inserting
• 41:16
  primary
• 41:17
  values
• 41:18
  that
• 41:18
  are
• 41:18
  not
• 41:19
  humane.
• 41:20
  And
• 41:21
  I'm
• 41:21
  hearing
• 41:21
  that
• 41:21
  Rich,
• 41:22
  in,
• 41:22
  in
• 41:23
  your
• 41:23
  remark
• 41:25
  that
• 41:25
  it
• 41:26
  seems
• 41:26
  like
• 41:26
  when
• 41:26
  we
• 41:27
  do
• 41:27
  unpack
• 41:28
  our
• 41:28
  mental
• 41:29
  models
• 41:30
  of
• 41:31
  each
• 41:31
  other,
• 41:32
  are
• 41:33
  we
• 41:33
  also
• 41:33
  unpacking
• 41:34
  or
• 41:34
  having
• 41:35
  to
• 41:35
  unpack
• 41:36
  our
• 41:36
  mental
• 41:36
  models
• 41:37
  about
• 41:38
  what's
• 41:38
  important
• 41:39
  in
• 41:39
  schooling?
• 41:40
  Oh,
• 41:41
  Michael,
• 41:41
  you
• 41:42
  hit
• 41:42
  that.
• 41:43
  When
• 41:43
  you
• 41:43
  and
• 41:43
  I
• 41:44
  started
• 41:44
  teaching,
• 41:45
  we
• 41:46
  were
• 41:46
  told
• 41:47
  American
• 41:47
  schools
• 41:48
  were
• 41:48
  a
• 41:48
  rising
• 41:49
  tide
• 41:49
  of
• 41:49
  mediocrity,
• 41:50
  the
• 41:50
  nation
• 41:50
  at
• 41:50
  risk.
• 41:51
  Japan
• 41:52
  was
• 41:52
  having
• 41:52
  a
• 41:52
  moment
• 41:53
  of
• 41:53
  economic
• 41:53
  ascendancy,
• 41:54
  and
• 41:55
  we
• 41:55
  were
• 41:55
  told
• 41:55
  we
• 41:55
  have
• 41:55
  to
• 41:55
  be
• 41:56
  more
• 41:56
  like
• 41:56
  a
• 41:56
  Japanese
• 41:57
  schools.
• 41:57
  When
• 41:57
  my
• 41:57
  mom
• 41:57
  and
• 41:58
  dad
• 41:58
  started
• 41:58
  teaching
• 41:59
  in
• 41:59
  the
• 41:59
  60s,
• 41:59
  Sputnik
• 42:00
  had
• 42:00
  just
• 42:00
  gone
• 42:00
  off
• 42:00
  a
• 42:01
  few
• 42:01
  years
• 42:01
  previously.
• 42:02
  Teachers
• 42:03
  were
• 42:03
  told,
• 42:03
  you
• 42:04
  have
• 42:04
  to
• 42:04
  be
• 42:04
  more
• 42:04
  like
• 42:04
  the
• 42:05
  Soviet.
• 42:05
  The
• 42:05
  Russian
• 42:06
  schools.
• 42:07
  I'm
• 42:07
  sure
• 42:07
  if
• 42:07
  Thucydides
• 42:08
  covered
• 42:09
  education
• 42:09
  instead
• 42:09
  of
• 42:09
  the
• 42:10
  Peloponnesian
• 42:10
  wars,
• 42:11
  he
• 42:11
  would
• 42:11
  have
• 42:11
  said,
• 42:12
  the
• 42:12
  young
• 42:12
  Athenian
• 42:12
  boys
• 42:13
  aren't
• 42:13
  quite
• 42:13
  what
• 42:13
  they
• 42:14
  used
• 42:14
  to
• 42:14
  be.
• 42:14
  You
• 42:15
  need
• 42:15
  to
• 42:15
  be
• 42:15
  more
• 42:15
  like
• 42:15
  Sparta.
• 42:16
  I.
• 42:18
  There's
• 42:18
  a
• 42:19
  time
• 42:19
  honored
• 42:19
  tradition
• 42:20
  of
• 42:20
  saying
• 42:21
  schools
• 42:21
  aren't
• 42:22
  what
• 42:22
  they
• 42:22
  used
• 42:22
  to
• 42:22
  be,
• 42:23
  teachers
• 42:23
  aren't
• 42:23
  what
• 42:23
  they
• 42:24
  used
• 42:24
  to
• 42:24
  be,
• 42:24
  kids
• 42:24
  aren't
• 42:24
  what
• 42:25
  they
• 42:25
  used
• 42:25
  to
• 42:25
  be.
• 42:25
  Except
• 42:26
  now
• 42:26
  we
• 42:26
  quantify
• 42:27
  it.
• 42:27
  We
• 42:27
  have
• 42:27
  this
• 42:27
  Moneyball
• 42:28
  data
• 42:29
  obsession.
• 42:30
  So
• 42:30
  now
• 42:30
  Mr.
• 42:30
  Pipa's
• 42:31
  fourth
• 42:31
  grade
• 42:31
  ELA
• 42:32
  scores
• 42:32
  are
• 42:32
  in
• 42:33
  the
• 42:33
  school
• 42:33
  newspaper
• 42:34
  and
• 42:35
  the
• 42:36
  NAEP
• 42:36
  test
• 42:36
  says
• 42:37
  we're
• 42:37
  bad
• 42:37
  at
• 42:37
  this
• 42:37
  and
• 42:37
  Pisa
• 42:38
  says
• 42:38
  we're
• 42:38
  bad
• 42:39
  at
• 42:39
  that.
• 42:40
  It's
• 42:40
  really
• 42:40
  hard
• 42:40
  to
• 42:41
  give
• 42:41
  love
• 42:41
  to
• 42:41
  students
• 42:43
  when
• 42:43
  the
• 42:43
  metric
• 42:43
  that
• 42:44
  we
• 42:44
  as
• 42:44
  educators
• 42:45
  are
• 42:45
  being
• 42:46
  evaluated
• 42:47
  on
• 42:47
  is
• 42:48
  very
• 42:48
  numerical
• 42:49
  and
• 42:49
  quite
• 42:50
  frankly
• 42:50
  measures
• 42:51
  about
• 42:51
  a
• 42:51
  third
• 42:52
  of
• 42:52
  what
• 42:52
  we
• 42:52
  do.
• 42:53
  And
• 42:53
  that
• 42:54
  if
• 42:54
  you
• 42:54
  live
• 42:54
  long
• 42:54
  enough
• 42:55
  that
• 42:55
  you
• 42:55
  have
• 42:56
  students
• 42:56
  that
• 42:56
  are
• 42:56
  now
• 42:57
  married
• 42:57
  and
• 42:57
  working
• 42:57
  and
• 42:58
  you
• 42:58
  get
• 42:58
  invited
• 42:58
  to
• 42:59
  weddings
• 42:59
  and
• 42:59
  baby
• 43:00
  showers
• 43:00
  and
• 43:00
  you
• 43:00
  go
• 43:00
  to
• 43:00
  funerals
• 43:01
  and
• 43:02
  you
• 43:02
  see
• 43:02
  the
• 43:03
  arc
• 43:03
  of
• 43:03
  humanity.
• 43:04
  The
• 43:04
  things
• 43:04
  they
• 43:05
  remember
• 43:05
  about
• 43:05
  school
• 43:07
  most
• 43:07
  often
• 43:08
  are
• 43:08
  those
• 43:09
  moments
• 43:09
  of
• 43:09
  humanity.
• 43:10
  They're
• 43:10
  not.
• 43:11
  You
• 43:11
  know,
• 43:11
  Michael
• 43:12
  gave
• 43:12
  a
• 43:12
  great
• 43:12
  lesson
• 43:13
  on
• 43:13
  Catcher
• 43:13
  in
• 43:14
  the
• 43:14
  Rye
• 43:14
  and
• 43:14
  Rich
• 43:14
  did
• 43:15
  this
• 43:15
  beautiful
• 43:15
  acid
• 43:16
  base
• 43:16
  thing.
• 43:17
  A
• 43:17
  year
• 43:17
  after
• 43:17
  they
• 43:18
  graduate,
• 43:18
  that's
• 43:18
  disappeared.
• 43:19
  What
• 43:20
  they
• 43:20
  remember
• 43:21
  is
• 43:21
  that
• 43:21
  Mr.
• 43:22
  Pipa
• 43:22
  did
• 43:22
  this
• 43:23
  and
• 43:23
  Mr.
• 43:23
  O
• 43:24
  did
• 43:24
  that.
• 43:25
  And
• 43:25
  it
• 43:25
  takes
• 43:26
  10
• 43:26
  years
• 43:26
  of
• 43:26
  teaching
• 43:27
  to
• 43:27
  get
• 43:27
  to
• 43:27
  that
• 43:27
  point
• 43:27
  when
• 43:28
  you
• 43:28
  realize
• 43:29
  the
• 43:29
  content's
• 43:30
  important.
• 43:30
  They
• 43:31
  need
• 43:31
  to
• 43:31
  know
• 43:31
  the
• 43:31
  content,
• 43:32
  but
• 43:33
  our
• 43:33
  humanity
• 43:34
  is
• 43:34
  equally
• 43:34
  important,
• 43:35
  if
• 43:35
  not
• 43:35
  more
• 43:36
  so.
• 43:37
  And
• 43:39
  you
• 43:39
  have
• 43:39
  to
• 43:39
  have
• 43:40
  both.
• 43:40
  There's
• 43:40
  a
• 43:40
  sweet
• 43:41
  spot
• 43:41
  in
• 43:41
  that
• 43:41
  laugher
• 43:42
  graph
• 43:43
  of
• 43:44
  where
• 43:44
  they
• 43:44
  meet.
• 43:45
  And
• 43:46
  sometimes
• 43:46
  that
• 43:47
  takes
• 43:47
  a
• 43:47
  little
• 43:47
  time
• 43:47
  as
• 43:48
  a
• 43:48
  teacher,
• 43:48
  but
• 43:48
  oh
• 43:49
  my
• 43:49
  gosh.
• 43:50
  We
• 43:50
  have
• 43:50
  to
• 43:50
  evaluate
• 43:51
  teachers
• 43:52
  more
• 43:53
  on
• 43:53
  human
• 43:53
  growth
• 43:54
  and
• 43:55
  less
• 43:55
  on
• 43:55
  a
• 43:55
  number
• 43:56
  that
• 43:56
  comes
• 43:57
  one
• 43:57
  day
• 43:57
  in
• 43:58
  June.
• 43:58
  And
• 43:59
  again,
• 43:59
  I
• 43:59
  was
• 43:59
  fortunate.
• 44:00
  I
• 44:00
  had
• 44:00
  principals
• 44:00
  and
• 44:01
  superintendents
• 44:01
  who
• 44:02
  were
• 44:02
  very
• 44:03
  holistic
• 44:04
  and
• 44:04
  say,
• 44:04
  no,
• 44:04
  no,
• 44:05
  we
• 44:05
  know
• 44:06
  we're
• 44:06
  giving
• 44:07
  this
• 44:07
  teacher
• 44:07
  some
• 44:07
  of
• 44:08
  the
• 44:08
  most
• 44:08
  challenging
• 44:08
  students
• 44:09
  because
• 44:09
  he
• 44:09
  or
• 44:09
  she
• 44:09
  is
• 44:10
  really
• 44:10
  good
• 44:10
  at
• 44:10
  it.
• 44:11
  So
• 44:11
  yeah,
• 44:12
  maybe
• 44:12
  her
• 44:13
  test
• 44:13
  scores
• 44:13
  are
• 44:13
  a
• 44:13
  scooch
• 44:14
  lower
• 44:15
  than
• 44:15
  the
• 44:15
  other
• 44:16
  two
• 44:16
  teachers
• 44:16
  in
• 44:16
  the
• 44:16
  grade,
• 44:17
  but
• 44:17
  she's
• 44:17
  got
• 44:18
  every
• 44:18
  single
• 44:18
  kid
• 44:18
  with
• 44:19
  a
• 44:19
  challenge
• 44:19
  was
• 44:19
  kind
• 44:19
  of
• 44:20
  fobbed
• 44:20
  in
• 44:21
  that
• 44:21
  direction.
• 44:23
  So
• 44:23
  yeah,
• 44:23
  we
• 44:23
  have
• 44:24
  to
• 44:24
  evaluate
• 44:26
  educators
• 44:28
  as
• 44:28
  much
• 44:28
  on
• 44:28
  our
• 44:29
  human
• 44:29
  development
• 44:30
  as
• 44:30
  we
• 44:31
  do
• 44:31
  on
• 44:31
  a
• 44:32
  snapshot
• 44:32
  of
• 44:33
  a
• 44:33
  one
• 44:33
  day
• 44:34
  algebra
• 44:34
  test
• 44:34
  in
• 44:35
  ninth
• 44:35
  grade.
• 44:35
  And
• 44:36
  if
• 44:36
  we
• 44:36
  tell
• 44:36
  students,
• 44:37
  you
• 44:37
  suck
• 44:37
  because
• 44:38
  of
• 44:38
  a
• 44:38
  one
• 44:38
  day
• 44:38
  algebra
• 44:39
  test
• 44:39
  and
• 44:39
  then
• 44:40
  we
• 44:40
  tell
• 44:40
  the
• 44:40
  students,
• 44:40
  teachers,
• 44:41
  well,
• 44:41
  you
• 44:41
  must
• 44:41
  suck
• 44:42
  too.
• 44:44
  That's
• 44:44
  not
• 44:45
  a
• 44:45
  recipe
• 44:46
  for
• 44:47
  making
• 44:47
  people
• 44:48
  very
• 44:48
  broad.
• 44:49
  Thinking
• 44:50
  about
• 44:51
  our
• 44:51
  role
• 44:51
  as
• 44:52
  educators,
• 44:53
  it's.
• 44:53
  Also
• 44:53
  not
• 44:54
  a
• 44:54
  very
• 44:55
  effective
• 44:55
  way
• 44:55
  to
• 44:56
  get
• 44:56
  teachers
• 44:56
  to
• 44:56
  be
• 44:57
  humanizing
• 44:58
  right
• 44:59
  when
• 44:59
  we're
• 45:00
  going
• 45:00
  to
• 45:00
  smack
• 45:00
  them
• 45:00
  upside
• 45:01
  the
• 45:01
  head
• 45:02
  because
• 45:02
  the
• 45:03
  transactional
• 45:03
  number
• 45:05
  isn't
• 45:06
  what
• 45:06
  we
• 45:06
  want
• 45:06
  that
• 45:06
  number
• 45:07
  to
• 45:07
  be,
• 45:07
  right?
• 45:08
  And
• 45:08
  we
• 45:08
  start
• 45:09
  to
• 45:09
  look
• 45:09
  at
• 45:09
  our
• 45:09
  students.
• 45:11
  I
• 45:11
  think
• 45:11
  a
• 45:11
  postman
• 45:12
  and
• 45:12
  Weingartner
• 45:13
  one
• 45:13
  of,
• 45:14
  and
• 45:14
  I'm
• 45:14
  guessing
• 45:14
  Dr.
• 45:15
  Elaine
• 45:15
  Onybetty
• 45:16
  might
• 45:16
  have
• 45:16
  made
• 45:16
  you
• 45:16
  read
• 45:16
  that
• 45:16
  book.
• 45:17
  I'm
• 45:17
  just
• 45:17
  going
• 45:17
  to
• 45:17
  go
• 45:17
  out
• 45:19
  read
• 45:19
  that
• 45:19
  book.
• 45:21
  They
• 45:21
  said
• 45:21
  you
• 45:22
  should,
• 45:22
  as
• 45:22
  an
• 45:22
  educator,
• 45:22
  take
• 45:23
  a
• 45:23
  class
• 45:24
  or
• 45:24
  a
• 45:24
  workshop
• 45:25
  every
• 45:25
  year
• 45:25
  in
• 45:25
  something
• 45:26
  at
• 45:26
  which
• 45:26
  you
• 45:26
  are
• 45:26
  terrible
• 45:27
  at.
• 45:27
  For
• 45:27
  me,
• 45:27
  that
• 45:28
  would
• 45:28
  be
• 45:28
  art
• 45:28
  and
• 45:28
  music.
• 45:29
  So
• 45:29
  you
• 45:29
  have
• 45:30
  that
• 45:30
  fear
• 45:30
  of
• 45:30
  going
• 45:31
  in
• 45:32
  in
• 45:32
  a
• 45:32
  place
• 45:32
  where
• 45:32
  you're
• 45:33
  no
• 45:33
  longer
• 45:33
  the
• 45:34
  king
• 45:35
  of
• 45:35
  your
• 45:35
  domain.
• 45:36
  I'm
• 45:37
  going
• 45:37
  to
• 45:37
  be
• 45:38
  playing
• 45:38
  a
• 45:38
  musical
• 45:38
  instrument
• 45:39
  at
• 45:39
  which
• 45:39
  I
• 45:39
  am
• 45:39
  terrible,
• 45:40
  or
• 45:40
  I'm
• 45:40
  going
• 45:40
  to
• 45:40
  be
• 45:41
  trying
• 45:41
  to
• 45:41
  draw
• 45:41
  an
• 45:41
  art
• 45:42
  so
• 45:42
  that
• 45:42
  we
• 45:43
  recognize
• 45:43
  those
• 45:43
  kids
• 45:44
  coming
• 45:44
  into
• 45:44
  our
• 45:45
  classroom
• 45:47
  every
• 45:47
  class.
• 45:47
  There
• 45:48
  are
• 45:48
  kids
• 45:48
  that
• 45:48
  come
• 45:48
  in
• 45:49
  with
• 45:49
  fear,
• 45:50
  that
• 45:50
  feel
• 45:50
  they've
• 45:51
  been
• 45:51
  told
• 45:51
  they're
• 45:51
  not
• 45:51
  good
• 45:52
  at
• 45:52
  science,
• 45:53
  they've
• 45:53
  been
• 45:53
  told
• 45:53
  they're
• 45:54
  not
• 45:54
  good
• 45:54
  at
• 45:54
  English.
• 45:55
  Somewhere
• 45:55
  along
• 45:55
  life's
• 45:56
  path,
• 45:57
  we
• 45:57
  have
• 45:57
  to
• 45:58
  recognize
• 45:58
  that.
• 45:59
  And
• 45:59
  as
• 46:00
  teachers,
• 46:00
  if
• 46:01
  I
• 46:01
  look
• 46:01
  at
• 46:01
  that
• 46:01
  kid
• 46:02
  who's
• 46:02
  bad
• 46:02
  at
• 46:02
  chemistry
• 46:03
  in
• 46:03
  September
• 46:03
  and
• 46:03
  say,
• 46:04
  oh,
• 46:04
  that's
• 46:04
  going
• 46:04
  to
• 46:04
  ding
• 46:04
  my
• 46:05
  Regents
• 46:05
  scores
• 46:05
  at
• 46:06
  the
• 46:06
  end
• 46:06
  of
• 46:06
  the
• 46:06
  year
• 46:07
  rather
• 46:07
  than
• 46:08
  here's
• 46:08
  a
• 46:08
  beautiful
• 46:09
  child
• 46:09
  and
• 46:10
  I'm
• 46:10
  going
• 46:10
  to
• 46:10
  try.
• 46:11
  I
• 46:12
  remember
• 46:13
  a
• 46:13
  young
• 46:13
  woman
• 46:13
  telling
• 46:14
  me
• 46:14
  in
• 46:14
  September
• 46:14
  in
• 46:15
  her
• 46:15
  letter
• 46:15
  Back
• 46:15
  to
• 46:15
  me,
• 46:15
  Mr.
• 46:16
  O,
• 46:16
  I
• 46:16
  suck
• 46:16
  at
• 46:17
  math
• 46:17
  and
• 46:17
  science.
• 46:17
  That
• 46:17
  was
• 46:17
  her,
• 46:18
  her
• 46:18
  quote.
• 46:19
  And
• 46:19
  I
• 46:19
  said
• 46:19
  to
• 46:20
  her,
• 46:20
  lauren,
• 46:20
  well,
• 46:20
  my
• 46:21
  job,
• 46:21
  fortunate
• 46:22
  for
• 46:22
  you,
• 46:22
  is
• 46:23
  to
• 46:23
  make
• 46:23
  you
• 46:23
  unsuck
• 46:23
  at
• 46:24
  math
• 46:24
  and
• 46:24
  science.
• 46:26
  And
• 46:27
  the
• 46:27
  first
• 46:28
  day,
• 46:28
  the
• 46:28
  first
• 46:28
  unit
• 46:29
  test
• 46:29
  she
• 46:29
  had,
• 46:30
  I
• 46:30
  was
• 46:30
  grading.
• 46:30
  It
• 46:31
  was
• 46:31
  like,
• 46:31
  September,
• 46:31
  it's
• 46:31
  late
• 46:32
  at
• 46:32
  night.
• 46:33
  And
• 46:33
  she
• 46:33
  was
• 46:33
  like
• 46:34
  on
• 46:34
  the
• 46:34
  edge
• 46:34
  of
• 46:34
  passing.
• 46:36
  And
• 46:36
  I
• 46:36
  got
• 46:36
  to
• 46:36
  the
• 46:36
  last
• 46:37
  page
• 46:37
  of
• 46:37
  the
• 46:37
  test
• 46:37
  and
• 46:38
  it
• 46:38
  was
• 46:38
  blank.
• 46:39
  And
• 46:40
  she
• 46:40
  had,
• 46:40
  there's
• 46:41
  a
• 46:41
  graph
• 46:41
  and
• 46:41
  some
• 46:41
  questions.
• 46:42
  And
• 46:42
  she
• 46:42
  froze
• 46:42
  on
• 46:43
  the
• 46:43
  graph.
• 46:44
  And
• 46:44
  I
• 46:44
  was
• 46:44
  about
• 46:44
  to
• 46:44
  put
• 46:45
  a
• 46:45
  failing
• 46:45
  grade
• 46:45
  down,
• 46:46
  Grant,
• 46:46
  and
• 46:46
  a
• 46:46
  little
• 46:46
  voice
• 46:47
  said,
• 46:47
  ugh,
• 46:47
  don't
• 46:48
  do
• 46:48
  it,
• 46:48
  Rich.
• 46:49
  So
• 46:49
  I
• 46:49
  just
• 46:49
  left
• 46:50
  it.
• 46:50
  And
• 46:51
  the
• 46:51
  next
• 46:51
  day
• 46:51
  I
• 46:52
  used
• 46:52
  a
• 46:52
  complex
• 46:53
  pedagogical
• 46:53
  strategy
• 46:54
  called
• 46:54
  lying.
• 46:58
  And
• 46:58
  I
• 46:58
  took
• 46:58
  Lauren
• 46:59
  to
• 46:59
  the
• 46:59
  side.
• 46:59
  I
• 46:59
  said,
• 46:59
  lauren,
• 47:00
  clearly
• 47:01
  you
• 47:01
  must
• 47:01
  have
• 47:01
  run
• 47:02
  out
• 47:02
  of
• 47:02
  time
• 47:02
  because
• 47:02
  I
• 47:03
  know
• 47:03
  you
• 47:03
  can
• 47:03
  do
• 47:03
  this.
• 47:04
  And
• 47:05
  I
• 47:05
  hinted
• 47:06
  and
• 47:06
  nudged
• 47:07
  and
• 47:07
  I
• 47:07
  cajoled
• 47:07
  her
• 47:08
  through
• 47:08
  the
• 47:08
  graph
• 47:08
  and
• 47:08
  she
• 47:08
  answered
• 47:09
  the
• 47:09
  rest
• 47:09
  of
• 47:09
  the
• 47:09
  questions.
• 47:11
  And
• 47:11
  then
• 47:11
  I
• 47:11
  lied
• 47:12
  a
• 47:12
  second
• 47:12
  time
• 47:13
  because
• 47:13
  she
• 47:13
  would
• 47:13
  have
• 47:13
  got
• 47:13
  a
• 47:14
  78.
• 47:14
  I
• 47:14
  said,
• 47:14
  this
• 47:14
  kid
• 47:15
  needs
• 47:15
  a
• 47:15
  confidence
• 47:15
  boost.
• 47:16
  So
• 47:16
  I
• 47:16
  rather
• 47:17
  holistically
• 47:17
  rounded
• 47:18
  up
• 47:18
  to
• 47:18
  an
• 47:18
  85.
• 47:19
  I
• 47:19
  thought
• 47:20
  she
• 47:20
  needs
• 47:20
  78
• 47:21
  to
• 47:21
  an
• 47:21
  85.
• 47:22
  That's
• 47:22
  close.
• 47:22
  It's
• 47:23
  close.
• 47:23
  And
• 47:23
  you
• 47:23
  know,
• 47:24
  kids
• 47:24
  who
• 47:24
  suck
• 47:24
  at
• 47:24
  math
• 47:25
  and
• 47:25
  science
• 47:25
  don't
• 47:25
  know
• 47:26
  when
• 47:26
  we
• 47:26
  do
• 47:26
  this.
• 47:26
  So
• 47:27
  I
• 47:27
  know
• 47:31
  that
• 47:32
  night
• 47:33
  I
• 47:33
  got
• 47:33
  a
• 47:33
  message
• 47:33
  from
• 47:34
  this
• 47:34
  girl,
• 47:34
  a
• 47:34
  three
• 47:35
  paragraph
• 47:35
  email,
• 47:37
  saying,
• 47:37
  thank
• 47:37
  you
• 47:37
  for
• 47:38
  not
• 47:38
  giving
• 47:38
  up
• 47:38
  on
• 47:39
  me.
• 47:39
  And
• 47:39
  she
• 47:40
  stayed
• 47:40
  in
• 47:40
  chemistry
• 47:41
  all
• 47:41
  year.
• 47:41
  And
• 47:42
  I
• 47:42
  don't
• 47:42
  even
• 47:42
  remember
• 47:42
  if
• 47:43
  she
• 47:43
  passed
• 47:43
  the
• 47:43
  regents
• 47:44
  or
• 47:44
  not,
• 47:45
  but
• 47:45
  she
• 47:45
  stayed
• 47:46
  in
• 47:46
  chemistry
• 47:46
  all
• 47:47
  year
• 47:47
  and
• 47:47
  she
• 47:48
  enjoyed
• 47:48
  it
• 47:48
  and
• 47:49
  she
• 47:49
  got
• 47:49
  better
• 47:50
  at
• 47:50
  it
• 47:51
  and
• 47:52
  she
• 47:52
  grew
• 47:53
  in
• 47:53
  my
• 47:54
  presence.
• 47:56
  She's
• 47:56
  not
• 47:56
  going
• 47:57
  to
• 47:57
  be
• 47:57
  a
• 47:57
  professional
• 47:57
  chemist,
• 47:58
  but
• 47:58
  she
• 47:59
  grew
• 47:59
  as
• 47:59
  a
• 47:59
  human
• 48:00
  and
• 48:01
  that's
• 48:01
  what
• 48:01
  we
• 48:02
  have
• 48:02
  to
• 48:02
  value.
• 48:03
  And
• 48:03
  we
• 48:04
  have
• 48:04
  to
• 48:04
  give
• 48:04
  teachers
• 48:05
  the
• 48:05
  courage
• 48:06
  to
• 48:06
  sometimes
• 48:07
  look
• 48:07
  and
• 48:07
  say,
• 48:07
  I'm
• 48:07
  going
• 48:08
  to
• 48:08
  value
• 48:08
  the
• 48:09
  student
• 48:10
  for
• 48:10
  giving
• 48:11
  me
• 48:11
  their
• 48:11
  best.
• 48:12
  And
• 48:12
  if
• 48:12
  their
• 48:13
  best
• 48:14
  is
• 48:14
  a
• 48:14
  number
• 48:15
  that
• 48:15
  doesn't
• 48:15
  make
• 48:16
  me
• 48:16
  look
• 48:16
  like,
• 48:17
  you
• 48:17
  know,
• 48:17
  the
• 48:17
  all
• 48:18
  star
• 48:18
  teacher
• 48:18
  of
• 48:18
  all
• 48:19
  time,
• 48:19
  I'm
• 48:19
  going
• 48:19
  to
• 48:19
  just
• 48:20
  be
• 48:20
  very
• 48:20
  comfortable
• 48:21
  with
• 48:21
  that.
• 48:21
  When
• 48:22
  we're
• 48:22
  getting
• 48:22
  evaluated
• 48:23
  from
• 48:23
  the
• 48:23
  top
• 48:23
  down
• 48:24
  in
• 48:24
  our
• 48:25
  society
• 48:25
  writ
• 48:26
  large
• 48:27
  on
• 48:27
  those
• 48:27
  numbers
• 48:28
  sometimes
• 48:28
  to
• 48:28
  be
• 48:28
  humanizing.
• 48:29
  So
• 48:30
  it's
• 48:30
  a
• 48:30
  really
• 48:31
  interesting
• 48:32
  phenomenon
• 48:33
  as
• 48:33
  we're,
• 48:34
  the
• 48:34
  five
• 48:34
  of
• 48:34
  us
• 48:35
  are
• 48:35
  all
• 48:35
  trying
• 48:35
  to
• 48:35
  make
• 48:35
  schools
• 48:36
  more
• 48:36
  humane.
• 48:38
  I
• 48:38
  think
• 48:38
  the
• 48:38
  pendulum
• 48:39
  is
• 48:39
  swinging
• 48:39
  back.
• 48:39
  I
• 48:40
  think
• 48:40
  we're
• 48:40
  finally,
• 48:40
  at
• 48:40
  least
• 48:40
  in
• 48:41
  New
• 48:41
  York
• 48:41
  State,
• 48:41
  we're
• 48:41
  backing
• 48:42
  away
• 48:42
  from
• 48:43
  really
• 48:45
  crushing
• 48:45
  teachers
• 48:46
  based
• 48:46
  on
• 48:46
  those
• 48:46
  test
• 48:47
  scores.
• 48:47
  Because
• 48:47
  when
• 48:47
  teachers
• 48:48
  get
• 48:48
  crushed,
• 48:48
  kids
• 48:49
  get
• 48:49
  crushed.
• 48:49
  It
• 48:49
  just.
• 48:50
  And
• 48:51
  if
• 48:51
  we
• 48:51
  look,
• 48:52
  if
• 48:52
  we
• 48:52
  just
• 48:52
  look
• 48:52
  at
• 48:52
  the
• 48:53
  numbers
• 48:53
  that
• 48:53
  they
• 48:53
  love
• 48:53
  to
• 48:54
  throw
• 48:54
  in
• 48:54
  our
• 48:54
  faces,
• 48:55
  if
• 48:55
  we
• 48:55
  look
• 48:56
  at
• 48:56
  all
• 48:56
  of
• 48:56
  those
• 48:57
  efforts
• 48:58
  around
• 48:59
  quantifying
• 49:00
  all
• 49:01
  of
• 49:01
  this
• 49:01
  and
• 49:01
  making
• 49:02
  it
• 49:02
  all
• 49:02
  transactional,
• 49:03
  has
• 49:03
  made
• 49:03
  the
• 49:03
  experience
• 49:04
  worse,
• 49:05
  not
• 49:06
  better.
• 49:07
  And
• 49:07
  that,
• 49:07
  my
• 49:07
  friends,
• 49:08
  brings
• 49:08
  us
• 49:08
  to
• 49:08
  the
• 49:09
  end
• 49:09
  of
• 49:09
  episode
• 49:10
  five.
• 49:11
  Rich,
• 49:11
  thank
• 49:11
  you
• 49:11
  so
• 49:12
  much
• 49:12
  for
• 49:12
  joining
• 49:12
  us.
• 49:13
  Thank
• 49:13
  you.
• 49:14
  Day
• 49:14
  in
• 49:15
  the
• 49:15
  wheelhouse.
• 49:16
  We'll
• 49:17
  see
• 49:17
  you
• 49:17
  next
• 49:17
  week.
