Why

Do
you think of teaching as a profession? If so, what does this mean to you?
June 1...Ruby Payne
Are
Payne’s critics being fair? What did you
find that was useful or illuminating in Payne’s text? Comment on whether/how

June 8… Richmond Schools and Race
How do you see this history affecting your work as a

you see any hope for the future?
