Pride is defined as a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one’s one achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired. The National Writing Project is celebrating all kinds of pride in June.
LGBTQIA+ Bibliography for High School Teachers
June is Pride Month, “dedicated to celebration and commemoration of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) pride which began after the Stonewall riots, a series of gay liberation protests in 1969.” The National Writing Project has put together an LGBTQIA+ bibliography for high school teachers.
Take Pride in Your Successes
June is an important time to reflect on the school year and went well. “Science shows that it is easier for us to remember what went wrong than it is to remember what went right, so humans have to work hard to remember what they’ve done well.” Spend time this month remembering all that you did well. Then take the next step and think about the successes you hope to build on.
Culturally Sustaining Practice
June is a great month to keep building your practice. The Write Center is hosting a summer learning series, Culturally Sustaining Practice. Tricia Ebarvia and Dr. Kimberly Parker will, “present a framework for implementing culturally sustaining writing practices including specific practices and resources that enable culturally sustaining writing workshops. This series is for educators at different grade levels and disciplines.
