 * //Holler//
 * What shaped Reggie's identity?
 * The spaces in which teachers and schools can shape a child's life.
 * How is he seen beyond just an "Honor Roll" student? Fails to mention his love for music and extracurricular activities.
 * Many of his school experiences were negative. Negative interactions with peers and outside life.
 * What are the lessons for us as educators? What are our boundaries?
 * Recognize that all of our students are diverse and unique. See these kids as individuals.
 * Understand how the system affects kids differently.
 * Allow the students to self-assess in order to develop their own identification in the class.
 * The kind of questions that create purpose for us and for the kids:
 * Have they become more literate, more compassionate, more confident etc.
 * Not valued by the system, but these questions are important.
 * CHEMS:
 * Group work. Ask your content area colleagues for details on your specific stuff. I can't be everywhere at once.
