Meet GeNie Pearl, an 11-year old who loves her family, friends, and school. GeNie’s superpower is reading the room, which is the skill of picking up on cultural and social cues and then knowing what is appropriate to say or to do in the moment. This special skill gives GeNie Pearl the power to validate and affirm the cultural and linguistic behaviors of everyone.\nIn “The World of GeNie Pearl: A Lesson on Realness,” the school dance team’s tryouts are at risk of being ruined due to a big cultural misunderstanding between the dance team coach and the students. Can GeNie Pearl save the dance team’s tryouts and help everyone understand the importance of validating and affirming ‘realness’?\nBased on the Validating, Affirming, Building, and Bridging or VABBframework, (Hollie, 2018), GeNie Pearl’s World is a series of lessons about the sixteen most commonly misunderstood cultural and linguistic behaviors in school. When educators misunderstand who their students are culturally and linguistically, the students do not feel validated and affirmed and their educational experience can be negatively affected. This series is intended to teach students and adults alike through the eyes of a 5th grade student that there is power in validation and affirmation!
