History was brought to life this spring when McCallie sixth graders participated in the school's first “Human Library” day. The brainchild of Middle School English teacher Weesie Cook and Middle School Learning Center Director Kelcey Watson, the “Human Library” brought community leaders in medicine, education, law, and race relations to campus to share their life stories with the students. In this episode of Stories From the Ridge, which was recorded in mid-May 2024, Head of School Lee Burns '87 talks with Ms. Cook and Mr. Watson about the program, its impact on students, and plans for future “Human Library” events. A news story about the “Human Library” can be read here.

“We have a Black principal, so we need to have this conversation with you.” Ally Wright Founding Principal, Middle School English, High School Humanities “Please come teach that here…” Have you ever heard the phrase that your gifts will make room for you? That's exactly what happened for Educator Ally Wright, who combined her love of Black Liberation and education as she launched her career (#shoutout to the Black Liberation Through Music course!). In spite of the lack of diversity in her own educational experience, including being the only Black principal in her Los Angeles charter school network, Ally is making room for her students to experience joy and see a role model that looks like them. “I spend a lot of time thinking about how we have failed Black kids, and how we continue to.” As the Founding Principal, Ally had the challenge of opening a school during the pandemic. While the state of education is getting attention, there is still reflection to be done, especially about the harm educators unknowingly perpetuate on their students (especially the Black girls!). With the rally cry of “Love is a Verb”, Principal Wright is encouraging educators to radically take care of themselves while creating opportunities to show all students what is possible.

We're talking about those dark lil short stories you read fifteen years ago and have thought about every day since. Amelia ponders the question of hubris.

In today's episode, I get to talk to Denielle Stasa, a middle school English teacher, and former co-worker of mine.  Denielle has flipped her classroom.  Her students watch instructional videos she’s created for them at home for homework, and then apply the lessons by doing the work in class with her where she can better support them, and monitor their progress.   We talka bout how she flipped her classroom, the benefit of focusing on the process, and how success in writing leads to success in reading for her students.  There's lots of important ideas in here that can be readily applied both at home and at school. Oh, and I finally describe the Wall of Awful. I'm going to be launching ADHD parent coaching groups soon. If you're interested, email me here: Brendan@ADHDessentials.com.
