The past few years I have sent emails to my colleagues with links and thoughts about CRT. I am hoping to streamline and avoid being put into a spam filter by using this space as a place to post my found treasures that are too good to keep to myself, and thoughts about CRT. I can see the potential of this venture in my mind's eye, but I have a fear to overcome. There is an permanence about this forum that makes me cancel before I click "publish post". It is the same feeling that I get when I am tackling something new, or trying to speak Spanish to my completely bilingual family. It is the thrill of the challenge that is appealing.
This is the third time I have tried this. I think I am finally ready to let my thoughts out. With the new school year right around the corner, I have been thinking about challenges. You (we) are wired to take on challenges. Or, as I have said before in conversations, inquiry. We are wired to be intellectually stimulated. Here are some questions I think are worth pondering:
- What is the difference between welcoming and frustrating challenges?
- What are ways the classroom can be intellectually stimulating?
