Article Reflection
How do you celebrate successes - of yourself, your students, your classroom, your campus?
Suggested Activities for Students
Create an end of the year portfolio with your students to highlight all the learning they accomplished this year. Ask students to share the portfolio with their classmates. Students can comment on each others successes to build a strong classroom community and teach the power of celebrating.

Cultural Proficiency & Inclusiveness: Professional Learning Opportunities
The office of Cultural Proficiency & Inclusiveness is offering five summer professional learning sessions that help educators, staff, and community members engage in critical self-reflection around personal identity, implicit bias, and the power that our words and actions have over others.
Participants will build an understanding around:
- race and its impacts on students and staff
- messages we internalize from our environment
- deficit/asset language
- culturally responsive restorative practices
- creating a sense of belonging for families
- building an anti-racist educator's lens
- taking action in our daily professional practice
Isolating Race is the prerequisite course. Staff may register for the additional four courses upon completion of the Isolating Race course. All of the CP&I sessions count towards exchange days and GT updates. Space is limited, so sign up through the HCP today!
