      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.

      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.

      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.

  • 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.

      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.

      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.

      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
      lind_krom on 10 Oct 21
       
      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
      Siri Anderson on 11 Oct 21
       
      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
      lind_krom on 10 Oct 21
       
      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
      Siri Anderson on 11 Oct 21
       
      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
      lind_krom on 10 Oct 21
       
      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
      Siri Anderson on 11 Oct 21
       
      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
      lind_krom on 10 Oct 21
       
      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
      Siri Anderson on 11 Oct 21
       
      Standard 7I is about eliciting student communication in written or other forms. I don't see how this demonstrates that.

    Creating a boy-friendly classroom, increasing experiential and kinesthetic learning opportunities, supporting literacy through visual-spatial representations and more strategies can support our boy learners.

    What do you think of this homework policy idea? I've often thought that soon we will be able to assign movies as homework and just have students watch a 2 hour movie at home and then process it in school rather than using critical time with them for the viewing part. I know that seems far away for some areas, but in the metro area I think we are getting close.

    It goes back to that 1 out of 100 video. So many people do not have technology whenever they like. It makes me nervous that the more we phase out traditional, and include technological, the wider the learning gap might become? Also, I'm not sure how parents would feel about their children being on the computer or TV at night after school for a 'school' related project. Whether parents capitalize on evening hours or not, that might be the only little bit of time students have to interact with their parents during the day, I wouldn't want to take that away.

  • Across the first three industrial revolutions, increasing equality of opportunity brought about by each subsequent industrial revolution’s reconfiguration of economic forces has been a major driver of social mobility, leading to more inclusive and dynamic economies and societies over the long term.
  • For more people to thrive in the Fourth Industrial Revolution and navigate the transition towards a more inclusive economy, the present state of social mobility is not economically or socially desirable, nor sustainable
  • The economic dynamics of digital platforms, big data and automation are increasingly promoting market concentration and ‘winner-takes-all’ markets.

shared by joshua_mooney on 10 Apr 22 - No Cached
  • While SEL alone will not solve longstanding and deep-seated inequities in the education system, it can help schools promote understanding, examine biases, reflect on and address the impact of racism, build cross-cultural relationships, and cultivate adult and student practices that close opportunity gaps and create a more inclusive school community. In doing so, schools can promote high-quality educational opportunities and outcomes for all students, irrespective of race, socioeconomic status, gender, sexual orientation, and other differences.

      SEL is more then just emotional learning. It can be used to promote educational equity. SEL should be woven in not a separate skill set, taught only once during the day.
