Visualizing School Equity | Learning for Justice - 0 views

    • lind_krom
       
      This connects to 7I. Where the teacher is supporting and expanding expression through speaking, writing, or other media. This is happening through connections and building relationships with other schools in different districts and creating a portfolios about the facilities at the schools. Once these portfolios are exchanged they will then use the insights to create their own Student Bill of Rights. This will allow students another perspective to look at, think about, and reflect on.
    • Siri Anderson
       
      Yes this is 7I
  • Form a partnership with a teacher in another district. You will ask your students to assemble a portfolio documenting the facilities at their school (through lists, narratives or photos); your partner teacher will ask her/his students to do the same. Classes can exchange portfolios. Each class can use the insights from the exchange to draft their own Student Bill of Rights. 
  • 3. Ask to students to present their posters to the entire class. 
    • lind_krom
       
      This connects to 3G where we are using student's thinking and experiences as a resources in planning instructional activities by encouraging discussion, listening and responding to group interaction, and eliciting oral, written and other samples of student thinking. This will allow students to look at public information on the per-student funding in the best and least funded schools. They will then present their findings to their peers while listening to others findings and thoughts.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • 4. Circle back to the “Crossing the Gap” story by ask students to vote on the following proposition: An explicit right to equal per-student funding should be added to the Illinois Council of Students' Bill of Rights. Once your students have voted “yes” or “no” to the proposition, ask each group to present their decision, and three reasons supporting it, to the class as a whole. 
    • lind_krom
       
      This connects to 4E where we understand how a students learning is influenced by individual experiencs, talents, and prior learning, as well as language, culture, family, and community values. This will allow students to look at their findings and how they think they have affected their choices. This will also allow students culture, family, and community values to play a part in their decision making. School and education is very important to different cultures, individual families, and communities. This will affect how students vote. This will also tap into 3G by encouraging discussion and support of the way they have voted.
  • Then have students find the per-student funding levels (listed in dollar amounts) for the best-funded district, least-funded district, and their own district.
    • lind_krom
       
      This connects to students individual experiences with their own schools funding to see how it affects them,. This will allow them to connect to and build off this scaffolding.
    • lind_krom
       
      This connects to 4E.
    • Siri Anderson
       
      OK yes
  • Have students create a chart illustrating the funding gap between the best-funded and least-funded districts in the state, along with the per-student funding for their district.
    • lind_krom
       
      This connects to 7I. Where students will create other media in the form of a chart to expand their learning to see the gap in funding between their school, the best funded school, and the least funded school.
    • Siri Anderson
       
      yes
  • Have students brainstorm a list of useful educational items that could be purchased with the funding gap money for the least-funded district and/or their own district.
    • lind_krom
       
      This connects to 3G. Students are actively engaging in inquiry by looking at the gap and figuring what they think could be funded in the least funded school. Things that they may use or see as beneficial in their own school.
    • Siri Anderson
       
      The benefit in 3G is to the teacher, when we elicit student thinking it helps us tailor instruction to meet their needs. The standards are teacher standards, not student standards.
  • • learn about inequities in the system and begin to question why those inequities exist by examining the funding gap in their own state.
    • lind_krom
       
      This connects to 3g. Students will be using their experiences in their school to think about why this funding gap exists . They will then brainstorm ways that they money could benefit the least funded school through oral and written activities.
    • Siri Anderson
       
      I don't see how looking at experiences in their own education will help students understand "why" funding gaps exist.
  • • A large portion of public school funding comes from local property taxes. The funding gap exists when higher tax revenues mean much more school funding is available to wealthy communities than to poor communities.
    • lind_krom
       
      This could connect to 7I by allowing students to consider if this is fair and how we can look into and prevent this gap in funding. Do they think that this is fair, with wealthy communities paying a higher tax revenue? How do they think they could solve this.
    • Siri Anderson
       
      Standard 7I is about eliciting student communication in written or other forms. I don't see how this demonstrates that.

Honor as Power: The Practical Keys to Antiracist Teaching - 0 views

    • andersonallysa
       
      As teachers how can we honor all of our student regardless of race, disability, sexual orientation, or gender to make them feel empowered in the classroom?
  • the strongholds of racism that are embedded into school systems as tradition or practices that have been the bedrock of schooling for as long as any of us can remember.
  • A truly antiracist learning environment empowers all learners to make decisions about their learning and leading in a welcoming and safe environment.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Recognize the power structure that exists—both past and present. Acknowledge the purposeful intent and actions of abolishing the limitations of the power structure at hand. Reflect the code of honor by empowering each member of the learning community daily in the structures, supports, and choices available. Make an effort to invite members of the learning community into positions of authority, power, and decision making—even if that means taking yourself out of power to do so. Create opportunities for members of the learning community to make powerful decisions that govern their best possible outcomes.

Paulo Freire | Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy - 0 views

shared by gracejohn2021 on 22 Sep 21 - No Cached
  • To promote democratic interactions between people, Freire suggests that teachers problematize the issue being discussed.  When issues or questions are problematized by teachers who work through critical pedagogy, readily made answers are not available.  Students realize that although some questions do have clear-cut answers, many of our deeper questions do not have obvious answers.  When students learn that teachers are human beings just as everyone else, and that teachers do not know everything but that they are also learners, students then feel more confident in their own search for answers and more comfortable to critically raise questions of their own.  The banking method denies the need for dialogue because it assumes that the teacher is the one who possesses all the answers and the students are ignorant and in need of the teachers’ knowledge. In order to problematize a subject, the teacher assumes a humble and open attitude.

      How could you promote independent problem-solving in the classroom without leading students along the way?

Examples of Critical Pedagogy | K12 Academics - 1 views

    • jessiwattenhofer
       
      I usually need to see some sort of examples to connect new learning to experiences I have had. While others are showing great information, I thought I would add some examples to relate to. My question would be: Are there any other songs, movies, books or quotes you could think of that would be examples of Critical Pedagogy? How about historical events?

      This is a great resource for incorporating critical pedagogy theory into your classroom. Would you include lessons like this into your coursework in addition to your current curriculum? Why or why not?
    • crispinfletcher
       
      I strongly believe that lessons like these can and will provide great thinking and questioning of the status quo. Getting students to stand up for what they are learning is huge and lessons like what are listed here can really help students think deep about what they know and are learning.

Search Classroom Resources | PBS LearningMedia - 3 views

  • ways that we can find out about people, places and events that took place a long time ago
    • Siri Anderson
       
      This is an example of 4E.
    • Siri Anderson
       
      This shows understanding of Standard 4E: "Understand how a students' learning is influenced by individual experiences, talents, and prior learning as well as language, culture, and other samples of student thinking." Asking students to brainstorm about the topic they are about to study activates their prior knowledge so they can potentially make a connection between the new material and what they already know.
  • Discuss the responses with the students
    • Siri Anderson
       
      3G --use a student's thinking and experiences as a resource in planning instructional activities by encouraging discussion, listening and responding to group interaction, and eliciting oral, written, and other samples of student thinking;" By eliciting student voices in a discussion the teacher can understand how they relate to the concepts that are being taught today.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Explain that we can also learn a lot by looking at photographs and drawings from the past.
    • Siri Anderson
       
      This is a little supportive of 4E, by presenting varied nationalities and cultures within the lesson, and encouraging the students to think that they have agency (you can learn alot) to look into their "photographs or drawings from the past" the teacher is demonstrating respect for the diverse backgrounds in the room.
  • would you like to ask
    • Siri Anderson
       
      This is also supporting 3G -- "eliciting student thinking"
  • Ask the groups to compare their photos. Ask them to find at least two things that are similar in the two photos and at least two things that are different.
    • Siri Anderson
       
      This supports standard 7I, "support and expand learner expression in speaking, writing, and other media" because the teacher is scaffolding experiences for the students to talk to and learn from one another.
  • describe the type of information that they were able to discover from looking at the photographs. (What people looked like, what people wore, etc.) Ask students to share some of the questions that they thought about when observing and comparing the photographs.
    • Siri Anderson
       
      Another example of eliciting student thinking, 3G. Also supports speaking 7I.
  • Kristi never met her father’s parents
    • Siri Anderson
       
      This is moderately supportive of 4E. By sharing the story of a person whose family did not have contact the teacher is making more space in the room for learners who also may not have met their grandparents, or parents. ; (
  • Explain to students that different cultures have different ways of passing down information about their past to their children and grandchildren.
    • Siri Anderson
       
      This supports 4E, the teacher is establishing that families have different cultural practices which makes more space in the room for children who may have felt that cultural practices in their own family are "weird." This provides space for "difference" as cool.
  • Encourage students to make something to help keep pictures, drawing, letters, articles and/or other information about them and their families.
    • Siri Anderson
       
      This supports standard 7I. The students are encouraged to express themselves in a media other than writing and speaking.
  • create their own drawings
    • Siri Anderson
       
      This is another example of 7I because the students are expressing themselves in another medium.
  •  
    These standards are not at all aligned with this lesson!
