“What evidence do I have, and what might I be assuming?”
It's an important question for every educator to consider.
Assistant Regional Superintendent Dr. Vickie Trotter recently led Stratford Middle School educators through a workshop developed to help educators recognize how personal experiences and assumptions can shape their interactions with students.
One participant shared: “It was helpful to be challenged in what evidence I have. Sometimes none, which makes it purely an assumption that isn’t helpful or accurate.”
This is one way the DuPage ROE helps educators reflect on their practices, build stronger relationships, and create classrooms where every student feels supported.
Thank you to Principal Phyllis Taborn and the Stratford Middle School team for welcoming this important conversation!
