This planning frame example is really helpful to support students with goals. It's much more specific than other frames I've seen while still allowing it to be a template that could be used over and over. This would be helpful for the teacher because they wouldn't have to recreate it each time. It also would help the students as they gain familiarity with the format as they set goals and work towards higher achievement with their peers.

I really appreciate this statement. I don't find many people straight up naming deficits in disenfranchised communities, but often the projects and work with disenfranchised communities is suggestive of presuming a deficit. This also reminds me of how at my school, we have a course called "Character Education" for students with behavior challenges. This course name and concept has always frustrated me as it is suggestive that these students lack character, when they are often just students who have been impacted by ableism or racism and/or are under-resourced.

I have definitely seen this happen. However, sometimes it feels toxic. I'm not sure if I'm just reading this with pessimism from my own experiences, but I have unfortunately found that oftentimes coaches use coaching as a way to convince teachers of a reality that doesn't exist, specifically about the school's culture.

This makes me think of the difference between intent and impact. It also makes me think about how it's important to understand what our team members, leaders, etc. value and how they need those values lived out. To one person, receiving a verbal 1:1 "thank you" may make them feel respected. To another, that may mean nothing.
