"I really appreciated how we were able to bring the learnings from the largers session and bring them into the small group to personalize them."
"I have learned to be more aware of delivery... and the critical reflection helped me start small within my building to change some of the systems that we have."
"Where can we fit in best as true partners? That only happens with that two way communication."
What Educators Are Saying
"I appreciate the way Dr Brookins addressed different topics using an equity lens. Your personal story as you talked about placement, tracking and the consequences of inequitable practices in our system was thought provoking and inspiring. It helped me reflect on some of our systems and what steps we might take to disrupt the lack of access to high quality education for all students.
Dr. Brookins was great! I loved his energy and he knew the content very well."
Twin Cities Cohort Principal
"Thanks for all you did to make these two days meaningful. It was a good balance of large group, small group, and individual reflection. Tyrone made me think deeply about my leadership and actions to improve the culture of my school. I will hold on to his words – 'And How Are the Children?'”
Austin MN Cohort Principal
"I found the entire two days the most engaging so far. I connected to each of the topics presented by Dr. Brookins. I felt the opportunity to dialog with my group as we attempted to graphically organize the components of learning was really robust and helpful. Also, I appreciated seeing the results and hearing the summary of the MN Principal survey."
