READ ABOUT OUR
[Dr. Taryn] I need you to know that you are a POWERHOUSE and I have truly benefited from our time together.
And if you take anything away from that, please know that I am grateful for the time that you take and spend with me. Thank you. Thank you. You know, there's a piece of me that's really sad that our time together is coming to a close. You have been a wonderful presence— a positive presence in my life.
I seriously can't thank you enough! For your help, for your support, your encouragement, and your reflection. I've grown. So I'm grateful for you. I really am.

I had just a moment yesterday morning to tell you after your talk to the staff at Sussex Academy how much I appreciated your words, so I wanted to send you a quick note of appreciation in writing.
You are such a phenomenal speaker and personality, and more importantly, I adored what you said to us. You had me (and I think everyone else) at every single word, and we are so lucky that we were able to start the year with such a positive but challenging intention as you set for us. Thank you so much for your presentation.

Dr. Fletcher is an exemplar when it comes to leading this work through the critical lens of race, power, and class. She possesses tremendous gi]s as a communicator when addressing the importance of striving for educational equity in a city where our challenges are rooted in poverty, born out of centuries of injustice.
This is a particularly important quality when tending to school-based staff who come from a variety of different backgrounds and perspectives.

Thank you for recognizing the courageous leadership and modeling of these incredible middle school teachers and lifelong learners.
We are very grateful for you support of our work and your challenge to us to “go there!” even when we were nervous, uncertain, and worried about making a mistake.
We look forward to continuing to share our thinking and planning with you and appreciate your guidance and “mirror holding” in helping us see what we may not, at first, be able to see ourselves.

The work we’re doing with Dr. [Taryn] Fletcher is vital, I am grateful to listen to her experiences and learn more about supporting BIPOC in our classroom.
As a member of a few marginalized communities, myself, I find it absolutely imperative to discuss ‘the hard stuff’ with young children, because if we never discuss it there is a good chance that many of them will pick up on microaggressions they see out in the world or be ill-equipped to ask questions or handle situations as they grow, given how prevalent racism, bigotry, and oppression is in the world today.

Wow! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You’re giving my words to use, and totally validating how I feel.
I hate sitting in anxiety and I love the action steps you’ve given me. I’ll do them, and I’ll give them my all!!

This book is a true game changer! Every leader, teacher, school district and the like needs this book!
The children that we service deserve the very best of us and the only way we can give that to them is to better ourselves!
I have recommended this book to every educator I could. If you're looking for a captivating, research backed, educational book this is a must!

Hi Dr. Fletcher, I just had a chance to watch your video and I want to thank you so much: your feedback was incredibly helpful.
I particularly liked your push to expand and deepen the "what greatness was there" question, to help students think more deeply.
I could see a pitfall of that becoming simply a "cultural celebration" rather than a solid look at what the world was doing before globalization: your addition of "how was this innovation impacted by colonization" is really great.
Especially because I'd really like to find a way with these students to break from the white eurocentric view of history. The importance of colonization MUST be understood, but I'd love to temper that with the idea that white eurocentric as "normal" and the rest of the world as "other" is something we should interrogate and think beyond. Anyway, I think your push there is really great and made me start thinking a lot.

This is such a crucial foundation for an affirming & culturally relevant educational experience - the kind that Black and Brown students deserve. This book is full of research, personal experiences, and thought provoking questions that will have schools, parents, and community members reflecting on the values and norms of our spaces - and ensuring that students have a seat at the table in crafting new values and norms.

After reading Dr. Fletcher’s book "In All Lanes" and participating in the book study, it has made me more aware of the inequalities and obstacles that black and brown students have faced in our education system. These are difficult conversations. It made me realize just how important it is to impart independence, confidence, and a strong sense of self in our youngest students. Maybe this one small step will help our future generation to address and change social inequalities and live peacefully with one another.”

As an educator, I cannot tell you the number of “quick fixes” I was given to address behavior and classroom management growing pains I experienced as a novice teacher. In this book, you will not see the quick gimmick or band-aid solutions, but instead an in-depth and thoughtful approach to what it takes to reimagine school, specifically for black and brown students. One of the powerful assertions made by the author is “behaviors are relative to their environments” and this foundational argument lays the groundwork for important elements taught throughout the book.
