Hard to name just one. On a concrete level, the different ways of responding to racism, especially questioning and conceptualization, really stood out to me. On a more abstract level, the training reinforced the importance of developing practices that I can remember and implement in the classroom and the importance of self-care in doing it.

She challenged me and our team at Robyn to live up to what we say we want to be. She broke it down tactically so we can see our own blind spots, address them and figure out policies to help make the learnings last. I wish I could work with Dr. Fisher forever, but she also created a program that encourages us to not need a consultant after working with her, because we have the roadmap to do it ourselves and to walk the talk that we are all talking right now. I cannot recommend Dr. Fisher and her work enough.

It’s a challenge to advance equity in any position within a system. But, as the leader of an educational system, you need to decide are you going to TRULY change the outcomes for children and families who are marginalized and harmed by the existing system when facing political pressure to maintain the status quo from people of all backgrounds, who have benefited from the broken system. I am now constantly reflecting and deciding what I can do better to create an educational system that honors what we (as a School District) say on paper.
