The questionnaire of John Lewis Good Disorder
Like most activists, Chelsea Gallihugh Has a big heart and a way she shows it at school goes hard when the weeks of the mind take place. “Although they are not an official union action, they are solidarity actions with colleagues and students. I will always participate in a spiritual day. The most silly was “Barbie Day”, which was also a day of excursion, so no one else dressed. I will be solidarity whenever I can, even if it has not dressed me.
Ok Chelsea… Take the Good Disorder Questionnaire!
What do you like in public schools? My biggest responsibility as a teacher is to support students to become productive citizens. I love giving them in search of their voice before being too deprived of their rights.
What problems are getting you most in public schools? If someone really cares to measure success, we should consider looking at longitudinally.
What kind of people do you want to leave for the next generation? I want to leave a world where everyone has a voice. Where people listen to understand instead of listening to answer, where errors are faced with support and empathy, and where change is considered necessary instead of frightening.
When did you realize for the first time that you had power and your voice really counts? One night, a guy told me that I was unbearable. He said I didn’t even have considered that people had a different experience from me. It was the intestinal verification I needed. I did not know the power I launched in an occasional conversation. It taught me that people don’t have to be aware of their power to handle it. I have done a lot of examination of how I have exercised power in the past and how I will handle it in the future. I have done a lot to apologize since then, but I haven’t been much silent.

Who is your activist hero? For what? Jasmine Crockett or AOC. They say what they mean, bring receipts and do not hesitate to confrontation. These are women who refuse to concede the space they deserve.
What do you want more members to know how to get involved in their premises or MSEA? Many hands do light work and more power.
What song gives you the strength to fight for the justice of education? “Changes” by Tupac.
What is your favorite way to do good problems? I like the rules. Not necessarily following them, but understanding them so that I can work inside, outside and around them to accomplish what I need. The second is to empower students.
What is the best time you have made good problems? Writing public comments is when I feel the surest of myself and powerful. I love to translate what enters my brain into something appropriate, professional and intelligent. Oh, and there was that year, when I abandoned the study program and helped my 8th year students find their voice using social emotional learning.
What current campaign or problem is at the top of your radar? In this chronology, it is a Doozy of a question. I pay particular attention to our local meetings of the Board of Directors. In the past, racist, homophobic, transphobic conversations, etc. were closed. I worry about knowing where it will go with our new board. I chair our racial, social and economic justice committee and we are working to create a coalition of local organizations, so that problems arise, we will be able to organize effectively.
What does you want elected leaders and the public understood about your work? Children are dynamic humans with a variety of experiences, skills, interests and lived struggles. Just because someone went to school that he has an idea of what’s going on in schools.
