This morning my work partner, Zach and I had the opportunity to facilitate a thoughtful discussion among some wonderful educators who are all working to bring a broader historical narrative to their students. To our participants, let me say thank you. I really appreciate the chance to work with you even though our time together was brief. Hearing a bit of your struggle to step out of the mainstream and create critical thinkers in your classrooms was inspiring. It's a good reminder of how many brave and dedicated people there are in this profession who are willing to take the risk, take a stand and shake up the status quo. It's individuals such as yourselves who give me hope that civil society building is still alive.
We can accomplish so much when we share our knowledge and support one another.
In Peace,

I really enjoyed the presentation you guys gave today...We need to have more honest dialouge about the issues that influence our lifes and the perceptions shaped by our experience. I hope our paths cross again and the conversation will pick up where it left off. Please remember to check out the Jonathan Kozol book "It's Dark and I am faraway from home"
ReplyDeleteI will definitely check out your book recommendation. Thanks very much and keep doing the great work you're meant to do.
