Last week, we hosted a free event during which Stand for Children's Jonah Edelman facilitated a frank conversation with Ernest Morrell and Nell K. Duke about the challenges and opportunities of teaching during an unsettling and uncertain time. If you were able to join the live event, you know that Ernest and Nell offered not only powerful inspiration and uplifting motivation but also quite a few practical resources and book recommendations.
If you weren’t able to join us during the live event, don’t worry: The video is available on demand and for free through Facebook Live or on our YouTube channel.
Rather than have you go through and write down all the resources they shared, we did it for you!
Note that although I list a time stamp for when the resource was mentioned, it might not be entirely accurate depending on which of the recordings you watch. Each has been edited a little differently. But it should be close enough that you match the resource to what is being mentioned.
