Quotes from the episode

Naming goes so far back in, even just in literary terms, the importance of naming.
-Jeanie Tietjen

There is still a very nascent and as yet relatively unarticulated understanding of how profoundly trauma, adversity, and violence adversely affect teaching and learning.
-Jeanie Tietjen

Many students have experienced traumas that are situated in educational settings, bullying experiences that are identity-based, that profoundly shape how they feel about the educational setting as a place.
-Jeanie Tietjen

Learning is very vulnerable. It involves being wrong, failing, failing in front of other people.
-Jeanie Tietjen
