Today, I had students stand in the middle of the room. I put colored dots on their foreheads, enough for two groups with two leftovers. The leftovers were people with different colored dots. They were the outliers. I had them organize themselves into groups without talking.

We have been talking about inclusiveness and biases all semester. Since this is the last activity that I will have with them before exams, I wanted it to be impactful. I wanted them to realize that being left out feels bad, and that it only takes one person to welcome them into a group to make a change, that they have to be the change that they want to see.

They got it.

Wow! I love this. Do you think this idea would work for younger ages or how would you modify it for elementary/middle?

Back at work today after being out for two weeks. The student I work with the most said to me, I’m going to miss you. I looked at him and asked why is that, I’ll see you on Monday. He said you’re like my family and you haven’t been here for a long time and now you’re back from being sick and I’ll miss you.

What a gem!

People told me that I couldn't teach Milton's "Paradise Lost" to the students in my high school; they would not be able to manage this level of material. However, I wrote my Master's thesis on this piece, so I have a certain specialized knowledge. I created a lesson plan that incorporated scaffolded excerpted materials, video background information, audio recordings of the excerpts, and group discussions. I told my students straight up that this was difficult material but that I believed in them and it would be worth it. And they delivered! It was a huge reminder to me that our students can achieve if we maintain high expectations.

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.
