This was a really helpful training (as someone who is both fairly new to education and very new to Burke's). It helped contextualize a lot of the practices I've seen teachers utilize here, so I now have a better understanding of why things are done the way they are done both in and out of the classroom at Burke's!

I especially appreciated the "Teacher Language" portion of this training. I feel I've instinctually and unconsciously picked up both helpful and unhelpful language throughout my time in education, so that section really helped me clarify which language is actually helpful and why! It also gave me ideas for new language I can incorporate, and inspired me to be super intentional in this department.

Thank you for this training!
