Beautifully said, Aaron.

Great analogy!

I love paddle!

Thank you for all of the specific examples, Aaron.

Thank you Aaron. I really like your voice and you have a comforting and welcoming smile

Well said!

I love that Angela—our comfort must be secondary to the comfort of the students.

I’m so conflict avoidant and it’s super hard to do it!

The SJEC has a wonderful set of community guidelines they use before any workshop/talk

Gotta run to pick up another kid. Thank you Ghada, Aaron, Angela and Jim! You've given me lots to think about!

I go through my roster in advance and if I don’t know how to pronounce the name, I will look up how to pronounce it on google and practice it a few times and at least try it, first, then ask if they’d like to correct me.

We used to have Name Coach, which was a great software. I’m not sure if there is something similar Canvas has now?

Activities on names to start the class can be very powerful. When everyone gets to say what their name is, where it comes from, how they feel about it, etc. it encourages everyone to relate the value in names. And relational thinking helps builds community :)

A quick Flipgrid video assignment!

Or studio intro discussion:)

I’ve used Flipgrid for such an introduction assignment

VoiceThread, FlipGrid, and Canvas Studio are great for this as well.

Thank you! I appreciate 5th Friday and all the hard work gone into helping us improve as inclusive and accessible educators.

The entire schedule of events today was really helpful. The panel with students earlier should happen more
