Every person should watch this video. It is a great reminder that stories matter and we all have several stories that make up who we are. We aren't defined by one story or one person's perception of one story. It's important to carry this thought process into our classrooms when working with our students. They are more that just a below level reader, or great writer. We need to discover the different facets that make them who they are.

# data[].attributes.body
empowering. Very important reminder to engage in all stories about a person. Not one thing or mistake defines someone.

It is important to reject the idea of there being a single story for our students. It is also important to remind our students of the importance of their voice to educate us on their story. Making more space and assignments around student sharing their stories will empower students and educate others. It is sad that the author was told her book was not authentic, but it emphasized that when they are telling their story we need to believe them and remove our bias of who we think they are. This reminded me that each day we meet with students we are only seeing a small part of their story and that there is so much more to them as they are growing and learning each day.

I was intrigued from beginning to end. I always thought of myself as an open-minded individual, until today. Chimamanda Adichie was riveting and honest about how so many of us tend to see people according to a "single-story" and through this limited vision we rob people of their uniqueness and diverse backgrounds. As an educator it is important for me to consider the student as a compilation of "multiple stories" so that I can empathize with them and encourage them to continue on their own path toward success.

We related it to how each student has had a different experience during COVID and distance learning. While they may be similar culturally in their family values, religion, and ethnicity, we as educators don't always know what happened in the "culture" of their home in response to the pandemic. We need to be aware that everyone's mental health and environment was affected and sensitive to how they might be responding to the last 1.5 years of change.

Having culturally diverse books in the classroom. Having students bring in books that they have a connection too can help learn about their story. It is important we do not assume we know their culture or beliefs. Ask questions and giving students time to share or tell their story can help us not believe in the "single story".

Empathy for students and their uniqueness is something we account for. Rejecting assumptions about students allows them to gain their power back.

We as people who work with students in education should strive to recognize our own bias and the impact they may have on students.

In classrooms we need to consider multiple stories of academic measures so we can better understand our students, not just standardize everything.

As educators, it is critical to incorporate a variety of readings into instruction. It it also important to consider student's individual differences and their individual stories when interacting with them. It is detrimental to their health and wellness to have a generalized view of their abilities. Lastly, it is important to acknowledge student's skills and abilities and offer wide praise.

Every student has a story to share that provides a deeper understanding to who they are. It is imperative to listen and learn from the stories our students and their families share with us. A story can be told through food, religion, traditions, clothes, childhood experiences, behaviors, fear, empathy, etc. It is important to consider the many ways students will try to get through to us to tell their story. Connecting to students background knowledge is key to bringing down the barriers we face in the classroom and can have damaging repercussions if ignored.

We often pigeon hole ourselves into believing a certain narrative rather than taking into consideration the individual. It within the individual that you will find the successes and paths to success. That may even align with the collective along the way. This was definitely an aha moment for me to reflect on some of the narrow thinking I have adopted and how I can adjust that. Behavior is never a one size fits all approach.

Our students have a story to share and each one is unique and special to them. It makes sense that students should be provided with several different stories in order to build a well rounded and diverse view of humanity.

Chimamda's Ted talk truly reached me. I have never consciously thought that any group of people had a single story, but I felt that she spoke quite eloquently and yet put it in simple terms. We teach individuals from varied and respectable backgrounds. It is important to be aware of the struggles but not to assume the negatives.

This was a great presentation. We need to stop and examine how we are looking at people. Are we looking at them through a lens of bias that we did not even realize?

I love this speaker. I love how she defines the "single story" as a story that shows people as one thing over and over again, so much so that that's what they become. The consequence of a single story is my take away. The speaker stated, " It makes recognition of equal humanity difficult." This causes me to stop and think about what preconceived notions I may hold about my students and their families. Am I defining them through the lens of bias that I am unaware of? I always want my words and actions to demonstrate value for my students' culture, ethnicity, and background.

The speaker really articulated well the dangers of assigning a single story to any student. One thing that immediately came to mind is increasing student visibility in books. It is so empowering for students to see and read about students who look like them, or have similar stories to them.

I think it can also empower students to learn about the stories of  students who have a different story. Students come to us with SO much to their stories. A single story creates a stereotype and as educators, we need to consciously check on our own biases and reflect upon how a single story can affect our interactions with our students.

# data[].attributes.body
The speaker gave an eye opening account of how our stereotypes rob people and/or cultures of their dignity. This can be especially treacherous when viewing our students and families through a "single story" lens.

-"He has an IEP..."
-"She's poor..."
-"They're an immigrant family..."

This "one perspective" outlook diminishes their true identities and abilities. We must be willing to take the time to connect with our students in ways that allow us to see that students have more than one story.

Our students all have a story to tell. It is our responsibility to build upon our student's prior cultural knowledge and then relate it to the subject that we teach. We also have a responsibility to teach our subject from different cultural perspectives. Otherwise our students end up like the young lady writing stories that were similar to the British stories she read.

What is our students' cultural identity? What resonates with them in our teaching?  Do we make connects through our teaching to their cultural backgrounds and prior knowledge?

These are the questions we should ask ourselves. I noticed that when I make connects to my student's prior cultural knowledge they engage more and they learn more.

I enjoyed this TedTalk. Every student has a single story and I think teachers are good about knowing that. She made some great points about seeing people as only one thing. I also liked her comment about Sterotypes. She said Sterotypes are not only not true, they are incomplete. I think we have a great opportunity as educators to share all sides.

# data[].attributes.body
I absolutely loved hearing her understanding of self when reflecting on her early writing. The realization that the texts she read influenced the writing she produced. That foreign influence directed the single story that she would embrace as the truth. "When you show a people as one thing, that is what they become." This statement was very powerful. Her shared story of the boy who worked in their home and how she saw him as nothing more than poor, was honest. The understanding that there must be a balance of stories to represent the beautiful diversity that is our world is powerful. This understanding should be entwined in our every day teaching. We should celebrate and build up, not "flatten the experience".

Intro to Culturally Relevant Pedagogy + TED Talk

# data[].attributes.body
A basic premise of culturally relevant pedagogy is that instead of having students adapt to how "school" sends messages, our schools need to "adapt our sending mechanisms".

It would be impossible for us to design culturally relevant lessons without really learning the cultures of our students. So the first task as teachers is we need to have students engage their own identities and cultures (it's important to note that there are multiple cultures that shape our identities as individuals). From there, our class community can learn one another. Furthermore, I as their teacher can design lessons more appropriately and adapt my "sending mechanisms".

Are we doing this as teachers? Are we doing this as a district? Are our principals, psychologists, counselors, etc. doing this? How are we learning our student's cultures? And is it done with just 1-2 lessons or are we frequently and intentionally learning our students?

Are we doing this for ourselves? Do we reflect on ourselves as cultural individuals? We can't do this with students if we are not doing this ourselves.

# data[].attributes.body
It is easy to rely on the single story when relating to others, including our students. We must "engage in all the stories" so that we can not only understand the student and their culture, but also their individuality.

# data[].attributes.body
A main takeaway I have from this set of videos is that providing our students with a variety of literature representative of various cultures benefits all students. It allows for the student who does not see their culture represented often a feeling of inclusion, and it also allows students an opportunity to learn about diversity within other nationalities and the cultures found around the world. Allowing for an opportunity to compare and contrast also shows connections across cultures that can build bridges.

Sharing a balance of stories. Taking into account all of the cultural backgrounds that your students come from.
Choosing stories that can be relevant to students with different cultures.

I thoroughly enjoyed this Ted Talk. It reminds me of the fact that as educators it is our responsibility to not just present "a single story" about history, social issues or really anything. Oftentimes I think we are scared to "rock the boat" by presenting different perspectives. This does not have to be controversial. We should be able to present mutliple stories on a subject and challenge students to think critically.

I believe that when we see groups of students as "the same," we miss out on the individual greatness that our students have.

This was excellent and I think very relevant to much of what we see in our country today. Our students have so many stories of their own and even if they come from the same culture, their stories and experiences will vary.

We want to be viewed as individuals with many stories and experiences and we should get to know our students in the same ways.
