In this episode of IB Matters we talk to four outstanding members of the Minesota IB community who will share their reactions to the murder of George Floyd in our State and in our local community here in Minneapolis.
Anne Lalonde Laux, Chad Owen, Jenny Magdal, and Angela Wilcox are each IB coordinators representing the full IB continuum. Each has a very personal reaction to the events of the past weeks and they share their ideas and hopes for how schools can support students and teachers as we all try to make permanent changes using the momentum created by these terrible events.

From Chad:
Sending Messages of Hope - going into the summer
- Bookend videos by the principal explaining the purpose and hope for the videos and closing with his/her own farewell message.
- As many adults as possible, record (approximately) 7 seconds of themselves sending off our students with one or more messages of:
- Strength for the coming summer in the face of uncertain and challenging times. Encourage them to be inquirers and reflective about who they are and how they choose to meet challenges.
- Family support and point out that they have caring Friends who are allies.
- Love, for who they are and what they have accomplished and the principled decisions they have made .
- Encouragement to become knowledgeable and to be both open-minded and thoughtful risk-takers as they process events with their friends, families, and communities.
