We had a session today about diversity and inclusiveness in our classroom that tried to get us to talk openly about issues while simultaneously making us feel uncomfortable giving honest opinions. It was an interesting insight on how to keep students comfortable in a classroom during a serious discussion. I think the punchline, though, was that it is important to believe that kids mean well and can become accepting.
We also have to remember not to overreact in a moment and be able to trust our own instincts, because we are adults. Ha.
I was starting to worry about placement, since 22 CT CMs had an interview on Tuesday, but it turns out the school only hired a handful of them. Unfortunate for TFA, but at least I'm not alone. The CT corps is probably around 50% with placement. Other corps seem to be similar. I've been told that August brings A LOT of public school placements.
In other news, it's Friday! Weekend! Fire house swimming pool Kindle weekend!
