Using Picture Books to Foster Inclusivity - 1 views

  • Alysa looked up at me and said quietly, "This could be our family.
  • As an educator, I have long agreed with the notion that we often don't know who we affect in our teaching. Alysa's response to Polacco's book solidifies my commitment to read books that serve my students from diverse backgrounds, and I must continue to trust that they will speak about them when they are ready, and possibly away from me. It also reminded me that while she loves us both very much, having two mothers causes tension in her life. 
  • I use picture books for a whole lot more than graphophonemic lessons. I use picture books that offer the reader multiple ways of understanding the world around them, through people and the communities we all live in, through surface and deep structures. When I choose books, I carry an agenda of finding books that will help each individual and our community of readers discover and understand the people around us more. I hope they are surprised by what they notice and connect with, and I trust that our repeated readings of the text cause them to have multiple a-ha moments. With an agenda like this, it is obvious that I must choose books carefully.

  • A fictional tale based on a true experience that occurred in the Central Park Zoo, this book won several awards. It's about two male penguins who "adopt" a penguin chick (courtesy of a smart-thinking penguin caretaker). The adults nurture the chick and the three form a family. This award-winning book has been at the center of the challenged and banned book debate since it was published.

    I'll just say it.  For many reasons, I hesitated about posting this article. The idea of gay or lesbian parents can be a loaded topic in an elementary classroom.  As was expressed at L2L2, picture books can be powerful tools for creating an inclusive classroom. We don't need to be diversity preachers.  We don't even represent many of the diversities we may share or read books about. Diversity IS.  Maybe that's the first simple step.

    Erica shared this article about economic diversity and empathy. I was thinking about how we pool classroom supplies and usually don't allow students to take money on field trips. In recent weeks I have been wondering how we can be sensitive to our economic diversity in Morning Meetings or during "Weekend Share." What are your thoughts?

    I have students use Monday Morning Meeting as the day they set personal goals for the week. Students write their goal on an index card, share it at morning meeting and then tape it on their desks. I also write one and tape it to my desk. We share our goals so that friends know how to support each other. For example, if my goal was to walk quietly in the hallway without reminders, my friends know not to chat with me. If my goal is to get better at math facts, friends know they can help me by inviting me to play a math fact game at choice time. Goals can be carried over from week to week; however, we still rewrite them and share them aloud.

  • Here’s a simple idea for the start of the year --
  • Encouragement that comes with your name attached is powerful.
  • lisacetroni on 15 Aug 15
     
    Nametags!  The concept comes up again.  Check out the idea in the last paragraph.  Doesn't it feel so good to be addressed by name?  Doesn't it feel great to address a child (especially from another grade) by name?

    This is a captivating article that clearly addresses the "why" but it leaves me with so many questions about the "how." I look forward to brainstorming ideas with all of my colleagues and the L2L2 cohort.

    (Andrea C. just told me that she couldn't access this article. I believe it is because I accessed it with a premium membership. Let me know if you're interested and I'll print it out for you. Sorry!) This article gets to the nuts and bolts of how to "teach differences." It's succinct and practical.

  • the greatest contribution the young programmers bring isn't the software they write. It's the way they think. It's a principle called "computational thinking,"
  • Michele Mathieson on 28 Jun 14
     
    Great article that explains why we should be teaching computational thinking and coding. 
  • zminster on 02 Oct 14
     
    Probably the most succinct explanation - and one of the most cogent metaphors - for why the computer coding initiative is so important!
