Spending time in Atlanta with BES and my LENS cohort was another memorable learning experience. Visiting schools, connecting with leaders, and reflecting on what it takes to create meaningful change reinforced the urgency of our work. Hearing from Mike Brown on culturally responsive pedagogy reminded me that it’s not enough to simply acknowledge inequities; we must take intentional action. His message challenged me to think deeply about how we design instruction, build relationships, and create systems that serve our students. Thank you to BES (build. excel. sustain.) Drew Academy, Amana, and Elite for welcoming us into your schools.
