Hello everyone,
I wanted to leave us with some questions for discussion and reflection over 
the weekend, in order to guide us into thinking about how these issues relate 
to staff development:

1) How can we provide educational experiences for teachers, so that we inspire 
new teaching strategies in the classroom that take into consideration a more 
equal representation of the diversity among learners?

2) What can we do to teach teachers about the differences in class/poverty and 
other isms issues so that historically and culturally-rooted biases aren't 
perpetuated in the classrooms?

3) How do we, as staff developers, model those ways of teaching and learning 
in the educational experiences we provide for teachers?

Jackie
