Out of the Building
Wednesday, February 6 - 12:30 pm - 4:00 pm (TENTATIVE) - Leadership and Learning
Thursday and Friday, February 7th and 8th - Minnesota Elementary School Principal's Association Winter Institute (MESPA)
-I greatly value the annual MESPA Winter Institute, as it is an opportunity for me to collaborate with and learn from other principals across the state.
February - Black History Month
This video makes me think of 2 things:
1) There are SO many of our students that break out into dance at various times of the day. How can we give them more space, freedom, and opportunity to do this? How validated would that make our students of color feel?
2) What are we teaching our students about Black History? Are we providing the surface-level lessons around Jackie Robinson and Martin Luther King Jr.? Or are we teaching our students something new? deeper?
If you come across an idea, resource, or have a plan that you believe others could benefit from, please share out.
And our Monday, I look forward to seeing staff break out into random dances shown above and inviting students to join them!
