“Othering cannot live in the same house as the expectation of rigor.” - Lacey Robinson @LacRob #StandardsInstitute

The Syndrome of Othering haunts us in education. It’s the idea of believing that the “we don’t do/act/look like that here” attitude is okay. #standardsinstitute #educatewithanopenmind #DontCreateUnnecessaryBarriers
