I'm trying to do a better job at this. Trying to feature more POC authors not only in my classroom but also in my leisure reading as well

Not yet but it’s in progress. I don’t have much from the traditional curriculum on my shelves.

In my classroom, YES. I’m proud of the mix of culturally relevant material and classics I currently have available. At home, no. I have a personal deep rooted interest in classic philosophy and canon of literature texts ranging from Wuthering Heights and Dracula to Tolstoy/Dostoevsky/existentialist authors. I don’t feel the need to justify my personal interests, but I do feel the need to present a wealth of culturally relevant texts to my students.

Hi! I’m doing some research on employee benefits (medical insurance, 401k, HSA/FSA, commuter benefits) and was hoping to connect with People specialists or HR professionals in the comp & benefits space. I’m trying to better understand any pain points or challenges you might face with utilization/enrollment. Anyone interested in connecting? Thank you!

I read this super interesting article about how big companies like Toyota are investing in social-emotional training for their employees and seeing massive benefits.
