...my worldview on being an educator has shifted...
There was so much learning, but 3 concepts from the Roadmap for Community Change that I found valuable and intend to use were:
- Understanding the relationship between the personal journey and the systems journey (and seeing how we can support people who are “stuck” in the victim stage).
- Finding your KEY PEOPLE / your champions.
- Mastering the 3 lenses that Jessie teaches.
I also loved learning about the restorative lens as I know I can use this understanding in my personal and professional life. From this training, I feel my worldview as an educator has shifted… I don’t really know how to describe it, but my “victim” worldview is coming to awareness. I am eager to share what I have learned with other educators. Together, with a sound, compassionate framework, the work of dismantling systemic racism and inequity is possible.
