Morning #OntEd!

So amid the https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌪" title="Wolke mit Tornado" aria-label="Emoji: Wolke mit Tornado"> within which we have been tossed, the kids are still awesome. Three huge https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💡" title="Elektrische Glühbirne" aria-label="Emoji: Elektrische Glühbirne">s from student surveys last wk:

1. Normalize asking for pronouns and don& #39;t use the term "preferred" as it implies there& #39;s a chance said pronouns shouldn& #39;t or won& #39;t be used.
2. Kids appreciated I didn& #39;t ask for pronouns publicly. Safer space, trust, & community haven& #39;t been strongly built yet, so (a) asking for pronouns privately, & (b) modelling pronoun normalization by identifying them for yourself (very particularly if you& #39;re cis) are the way2go.
3. Leaving optional space on a student survey for "further explanation" re: pronouns and names + shifting contexts is https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🗝" title="Alter Schlüssel" aria-label="Emoji: Alter Schlüssel">. I *didn& #39;t* do this, and had a student email me letting me know that I shouldn& #39;t use their pronouns/name with parents, as parents weren& #39;t in the know.
Anyways, hope everyone has a smoother week than last. Let& #39;s pull out all the clichés this year, do this thing one day at a time, give & #39;er 110%, and ensure our own oxygen masks go on first!
