But let me state this with as much determination as I can muster:<\/p>\n<p>Our schools are not teaching Critical Race Theory (CRT).<\/p>\n<p>Quite frankly, as a new superintendent and as the proud first Black Superintendent in the state of Utah, I don\u2019t have the time for distractions.\u00a0 No superintendent does, new or veteran.\u00a0 The call to get CRT out of our schools is a distraction. District leaders carry enormous responsibility on behalf of the students and families we serve, and the \u201cnoise\u201d around CRT and other politicized topics can keep us from focusing on what we are hired to do.\u00a0 It is up to us to avoid the trap of fighting against movements based upon blatant untruths that will force us to take our eyes off the prize and prevent us from providing all our students with a world-class educational experience. \u00a0We must allow every student to be their best authentic selves both in the short and long term.\u00a0 Keeping students as my focus and my purpose helps me tune out the many distractions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"

itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>Seeing the Beauty in Every Student<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve always believed that if you work with students, your work must always be centered around acceptance.\u00a0 The beauty in our students&#8217; differences should propel each of us to accept them wholly for who they are and not see them as a threat because they speak differently or look differently or have a different background.\u00a0 That is the splendor of my new school district, and that is the magnificence of our country. \u00a0These differences make us who we are in America, and they have helped fortify our nation over time and make it into one of the strongest in the world, if not the strongest.<\/p>\n<p>It concerns me that differences in any form threaten some people.\u00a0 But personally, I focus on what is in front of me. First, I always tell staff and students it starts with kindness.\u00a0 A simple word, perhaps, but it should be our starting point.\u00a0 Then I ask teachers and leaders to focus on the things that are in their sphere of influence.\u00a0 We have our students for such a short while, so we must go all-in on the support they need.\u00a0 I stress that no matter the issues children may bring to our classrooms, we must value them all and be sure they know they are in a loving environment and that we will work very hard to help them make their lives better.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I\u2019m not na\u00efve.\u00a0 It\u2019s challenging to help students make their lives better with the many external factors they have to overcome. However, I know that if we stay focused on providing learning experiences that help each student figure out how to make their own life better and help them understand that they don\u2019t have to change who they are, but instead, embrace their selves, they can build on their strengths and overcome their challenges. If we can do this, we have gone a long way in serving our students fully.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-bg-style-scroll  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_section  avia-builder-el-last   container_wrap fullsize' style=' '  ><div class='container' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-2695'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3psl53-1f7fe4ac76e194b72ef9ac5192ddc384\">\n.flex_column.av-3psl53-1f7fe4ac76e194b72ef9ac5192ddc384{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-3psl53-1f7fe4ac76e194b72ef9ac5192ddc384 av_two_third  avia-builder-el-14  el_before_av_one_third  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-kvgyqulg-46b92aa620bdbaa33723c1310b4d0106 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>Education is Evolutionary<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I know that others will see my approach to the work as threatening and a change in the way educators have always done business.\u00a0 But education has to change.\u00a0 It is supposed to be evolutionary and always centered on the students we serve.\u00a0 When we are not evolving, we are not responsive to who students are today, and I believe, causing them more harm than good.<\/p>\n<p>I do believe I took an oath, much like the Hippocratic Oath in the medical field.\u00a0 First, do no harm.\u00a0 I believe every educator holds this responsibility.
