"And so we must ask about our work with young people, even in the face of disastrous loss and an uncertain future: What is it about the world that is worth building, and are we dedicated to the work of building that better world alongside them?" www.humanrestorationproject.org/writing/we-a...

"How are we supposed to rebuild education from the ground up if we're too exhausted, drained, overworked and run down to fully function? The revolution cannot be led by an army of zombies. We owe the future our self-preservation." - Ginie Servant-Miklos, Pedagogies of Collapse

“I think what a lot of schools are facing today is a rise of pedagogical authoritarianism. This remarkable certainty that we know how every child learns.” Quite a conversation, especially for this moment. (In other words: listen to this!)

Like the conservationist John Muir, the sense you get talking to @garystager.bsky.social about education is that when you try to pick out anything by itself, you find it hitched to everything else in the universe: www.humanrestorationproject.org/podcasts/rea... #K12 #edchat

"The work that I do today is focused on creating a world in which kids wake up in the middle of the night with a burning desire to get back to school, to continue working on something that matters to them..." - @garystager.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=ud6s... #k12 #edchat

Their messages to adults: "Just because you're different doesn't mean you matter less." "There's always something bigger going on outside the classroom." "It's everyone's first time living." Are we listening?

Word cloud of student responses to the question, what do you feel the biggest addressable issues facing your community's citizens are? Biggest words include health, pressure, mental, parents, lack, difference, teens, college, takenWord cloud of student responses to the question, what does advocacy look like to you in direct relation to the current state of the world? Largest responses include open, change, respecting, stand, equals, black, listen, educating, conversationClose up of slides of student responses and quotes: Tragedy is closer than you think. Just because you're different doesn't even matter less. If we don't feel comfortable to ask a question, are they really doing their jobs?Student quotes: If I'm not the best, I'm worthless. It's everyone's first time living. Don't teach. I have a textbook, use context for more valuable learning. There's always something bigger going on outside the classroom.

Students opened the conference, led breakout sessions, and in several sessions I attended, the majority of participants were students. Their experiences, voices, and perspectives suffused every event.
