A few weeks ago I was caught off guard by a statement from an educator that I highly respect while talking about the most recent buzz-worthy trend in education, "becoming trauma-informed." She stated that she felt it wasn't necessary for her district to join this journey because her district had a low-poverty rate and was not very racially diverse. In my opinion, this statement couldn't be more misinformed... and yet I also know that not everyone wears the same lens that I do, so I remained curious and asked a few more questions. In the end, I was fairly certain that I hadn't changed her mind. That evening, I shared this picture on Twitter, which seemed to resonate with many of my followers.

AuthorHope guides me in all endeavors. In both my professional and personal life I see opportunities to share and spread hope with others so that they too may develop pathways to see great possibilities in their lives. I believe in the power of engaged educators to build significant relationships with young people to encourage, inspire, and build great lives. This blog is a collection of my thoughts on education, hope, connecting, and engaging. Archives
