Culturally responsive teaching is "about engaging the brain’s memory systems so we’re creating lessons that lean into students’ cultural traditions and values." Try implementing it in your classroom this #HispanicHeritageMonth.

A government shutdown will harm American families and halt crucial government services. The House GOP could have avoided this if they spent more time doing their job, and less time advancing their out-of-touch agenda of book and gender-affirming care bans. bit.ly/3LDL48e

Identity safety for LGBTQ+ students includes paying attention to the messages we give. When teachers line up students “as boys and girls,” nonbinary students have nowhere to stand. We need to pay attention our words to create belonging. #corwintalks @HRC @GLSEN @GenderSpectrum

A foundation for belonging is creating identity safety where differences are valued/validated rather than ignored. We notice differences, so ignoring them creates othering. "Belonging Design Principles" from the @oandbinstitute bit.ly/3EQI590 #corwintalks @LPI_Learning
