For the Sake of Argument | American Federation of Teachers - 0 views

NWP’s approach to argument writing starts with having students understand multiple points of view that go beyond pros and cons and are based on multiple pieces of evidence, which ultimately enables students to take responsible civic action.
-
Participating in a conversation is central to our understanding of argument. Before students develop a solid claim for an argument, they need to get a good sense of what the range of credible voices are saying and what a variety of positions are around the topic. Students have to first distinguish between credible and unreliable sources, and then identify the range of legitimate opinions on a single issue. This initial move counters the argument culture by seeking understanding before taking a stand.

Many schools, especially in high-poverty areas, are accustomed to professional development providers that materialize for a short period of time, promise success, and then disappear. The NWP, however, relies on well-established local Writing Projects to provide professional development, believing that local teachers are the best teachers of other local teachers. This relationship helps break down resistance to change.

Excerpt: How we define problems shapes the solutions we develop to solve them. Casting the academic impacts of COVID as "learning loss" is no different. As Steve Holmes, superintendent at Sunnyside Unified School District, a high-poverty, urban district in Tucson, AZ, warned at a conference last month, "No one loses learning, but it becomes part of the narrative and rhetoric. It drives ideas, and more importantly it drives solutions."

How to Promote Racial Equity in the Workplace - 1 views
-
-
Empathy is critical for making progress toward racial equity because it affects whether individuals or organizations take any action and if so, what kind of action they take. There are at least four ways to respond to racism: join in and add to the injury, ignore it and mind your own business, experience sympathy and bake cookies for the victim, or experience empathic outrage and take measures to promote equal justice. The personal values of individual employees and the core values of the organization are two factors that affect which actions are undertaken.
