It was a day spent sitting.
Our school district scheduled 6 hours of mandatory professional development on diversity, equity, culturally responsive teaching, and Title IX in the morning and then social-emotional learning in the afternoon. In between we were served bbq and all the fixins.
As with many professional learning sessions, we were directed to try out some of the components they were hoping we would use with our students. One such activity was a restorative circle, where we stood in a loose ring in the seats of the theater in department groups and took turns answering a set of questions designed to build community.
Describe yourself in terms of weather was one.
"61 and clear," I replied when it was my turn, but now, after such a day, I would have to revise my reply: still 61, but a bit of an evening fog has rolled in.
