Oh goodness. This book just arrived at my house. Every single classroom needs a copy of this gorgeous text. Every single child needs to read it. We’ll be using it on Tuesday as we continue our rewritten SEL curriculum exploring identity, systems of power/oppression and advocacy.

I am working with coworkers to build this rewrite of our Second Step curriculum in order to create more relevant curriculum that weaves SEL together with anti-racism & @Tolerance_org Social Justice standards. Here’s the document we are building as we go: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19BF5mNgxqGGcddy-aT_WADqUflGCbzsflWp1xMOhBqc/edit

We are beginning our work in these early weeks with lessons from @SaraKAhmed's amazing book BEING THE CHANGE. She gives us such powerful guidance in the identity work that will serve as the foundation of our work ahead. https://www.heinemann.com/products/e09970.aspx
