    Established in 1869 in Philadelphia the KOL was a secret society of tailors. Following Terence Powderly's rise to leadership in 1877 the organization went public, pursuing such goals as an 8-hour workday, abolishment of child labor, graduated income tax and fair wage. One of several organizations created to "look out for the workers." For students: what was the purpose of labor organizations? How did they differ from labor unions? How was the KOL organized? What power did the labor organizations have? How did they obtain power?

    "The SCIM-C process of historical thinking is a means to scaffold historical thinking in the social studies classroom.  The five steps of this process ask that students: Summarize the source, by identifying the author and mein purpose of the source. Contextualizing the period of time and the place in which the source was produced. Inferring the perspectives and interpretations of the source's message. Monitoring what other information is needed in order to understand the source. Corroborating the similarities and differences between the various sources which they have examined regarding this topic. By going through this process, students would be better able to make sense of the source and present stronger text-based evidence regarding what they have learned from this source."

Visualizing School Equity | Learning for Justice - 0 views

      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.

What Makes a Family? | Learning for Justice - 1 views

  • small group, ask students to brainstorm
    • ashleydoucette91
       
      This is an example of 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." Grouping the students in pairs or small groups allows for more time and for students to be comfortable sharing their thinking and experiences with one another. This elicits students to share their own thoughts.
  • Have them describe different family make-ups
    • ashleydoucette91
       
      This is another example of 3G. Students will be most likely to talk about what they have at home first. By eliciting students share with one another, they bring new experiences to the discussion.
  • Ask students what a biography is
    • ashleydoucette91
       
      This is an example of 4E. - "understand how a student's learning is influenced by individual experiences, talents, and prior learning, as well as language, culture, family, and community values" Students knowledge of what a biography is will be influenced by their previous knowledge.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • brainstorm a list of questions
    • ashleydoucette91
       
      Another example of 4E. The list of questions students brainstorm will be based on what they may already know or not know about Michael Oher and his life.
  • share their opinions
    • ashleydoucette91
       
      Another example of 3G eliciting students to share their thinking.
  • students work with a small team to give an oral presentation
    • ashleydoucette91
       
      An example of 7I. - "support and expand learner expression in speaking, writing, and other media" Having small student teams give an oral presentation about what they learned shows how they have expanded their learning. Prompting them to think about new things they learned and built upon previous knowledge. Speaking for a presentation is an appropriate medium for this.
  • Draw the outline of a tree on chart paper
    • ashleydoucette91
       
      Another example of 7I. Allowing the students to create a visual representation to support and expand all students' knowledge.
  • every student in the class create illustrations
    • ashleydoucette91
       
      Another example of 7I. This allows students to express their knowledge in a different(visual) medium.
  • share their illustrations
    • ashleydoucette91
       
      Example of 7I.
  • write an acrostic poem using the word FAMILY.
    • ashleydoucette91
       
      This is another example of 7I. It allows students to express themselves in a way that isn't always thought of. This could be shared in either written or oral form.

Culturally Responsive Teaching as an Ethics- and Care-Based Approach to Urban Education... - 0 views

      What is a good way to build relation ships with students?
  • a
  •  
    Hi there! I think that building relationships with students is key to being able to work with them in the classroom. I think that it's not as hard as we think it may be, and that it's much like building relationships with fellow adults, but children can be very different. It does differ with their age, but I think it starts with learning about their interests, even dislikes, and what's important to them. If they happen to like spiders, like a student I worked with the other day, I was then able to suggest to him to draw one while he was thinking of what to do for drawing an animal. Although we can't really have one-on-one experiences with our students as much, it all happens in stages and the dedication to fostering the relationship is so important!

Blind vs. Visually Impaired: What's the Difference? | IBVI | Blog - 0 views

  • The definition of visual impairment is “a decrease in the ability to see to a certain degree that causes problems not fixable by usual means, such as glasses.” Blindness is “the state of being unable to see due to injury, disease or genetic condition.”
    • nikkilh
       
      Definition of visually impaired (VI)
  • Partially sighted means a person has partial vision, either in one or both eyes.
  • Low vision refers to a severe visual impairment in which visual acuity is 20/70 or poorer in the better-seeing eye and cannot improve with glasses or contacts.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Legally blind means a person has a corrected vision of 20/200 in their best-seeing eye. If visual aids such as glasses can correct a person’s vision to 20/20, they are not considered legally blind.

Signs and Symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorders | CDC - 2 views

  • Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain. Some people with ASD have a known difference, such as a genetic condition. Other causes are not yet known. Scientists believe there are multiple causes of ASD that act together to change the most common ways people develop.
    • nikkilh
       
      ASD definition
  • ASD begins before the age of 3 years and can last throughout a person’s life, although symptoms may improve over time. Some children show ASD symptoms within the first 12 months of life. In others, symptoms may not show up until 24 months or later. Some children with ASD gain new skills and meet developmental milestones, until around 18 to 24 months of age and then they stop gaining new skills, or they lose the skills they once had.
