For me...this quote from Ijumaa Jordan says it all! I'll allow your initial shock, but we're still going to move forward. It's not going to stop us. We still had to talk about...we still have to move forward, because right now children are being harmed-" Ijumaa Jordan Here are just a few of the topics we dive into: <ol> <li>Developing humility</li> <li>Classroom rules</li> <li>Characteristics of the White dominant culture</li> <li>Referring to others as our "friends"</li> <li>Implications for prioritizing the individual over the collective</li> <li>Where White Supremacy "shows up" in professional development</li> <li>And so much more!</li> </ol> And so, we can grow together, because that gives me hope. It's not necessary that we actually have to know the same thing or do the same work, but that we're willing to do the work together to make those, the changes that we want, to move to that world where all needs are met, where there's no lack. ~ Ijumaa Jordan, ECE Consultant <a href= "https://ijumaajordan.com/">ijumaajordan.com</a>
