Teaching Tip
NOTE: If you are going to mix or combine CSP and CSD teachers in the next session you will need to shorten this session to allow for transition time. Transitions usually take 10-15 minutes. You can find that time by shortening the morning welcome to 10 minutes and shortening the table or group share out during the discussion.

(2 min) Goal Statement
Remarks
Our goal is for your population of CSD students to represent the larger school population.
In order to accomplish this goal it takes both getting students into the room and keeping them there.
We’re not going to reach that goal passively, which is where the next session comes in.
Good intentions are not enough!
For now, think about the question we were left with in this video— is there an equity issue in your school? We’ll start there in our next session.
