Rob Pecharo : Leadership, 8th grade. After viewing the video "The Race" I considered sharing it with my leadership class. We discussed that good leaders know the people they are leading. I can see a great discussion regarding what we cannot see about people and their experience. I will also ask them to consider what cannot be seen when applying leadership skills.

This both challenged and confirmed my thinking about how racism has a skewed perspective in history. Just because slavery primarily occurred in the south doesn't mean that Northerners are vindicated of racist policies or actions.

Andrew Hollstein: 7th, 8th, 9th Technology & Engineering Education.
I listened to the 10th episode of the Time For Dinner PodCast that discussed the TedTalk "The Lie that Invented Racism". I have a deep love of history and truly feel that in order to change ones perspective of the world, you need to study how the human race got to where we are now. I am trying to own the philosophies of Anti-Racism and really strive to become not only a better teacher in the classroom but better advocate in life for others.

I have had a more active presence on twitter this year and have gained really amazing educational resources, ideas, and conversations. I took time to make sure I was following a diverse field of educators and shared an article that Ibram X. Kendi shared on beginning the anti-racist conversations and work in organizations and it made me realize how lucky I am to be apart of an organization that has put the time to teach us how  and encourage us to have these courageous conversations. -Melinda Lyon (Math)

I think a great idea would to be explore a curriculum called Need in Deed. This was originally created and used in PSD. This curriculum take students voices and their concerns with their community and walks them through research and activism to try and make a change in their community. Feel free to explore their website, and i can bring in the curriculum. https://www.needindeed.org/our-story/

There are a lot of people who seem to have a problem with the name of the Black Lives Matter Movement - I mean there are even lawn signs that say All Lives Matter.

Although I understand that the Black Lives Matter Movement never said only Black Lives Matter and that "too" is implicit in the name of the movement, I think that maybe, those who have a hard time embracing the movement might open up a little more if the Too was included in the name, vs being implicit. Not sure but if the goal is to get more people on board and some just discount because of the name, then maybe? Having this background helps to provide responses to total nay-sayers or those who buy or see All Lives Matter signs.

Hanks & Perry. The idea of community building to develop deeper relationships in groups that our students want to be part of will give them a wide variety of experiences and exposures to others so they can become inclusive and caring as they grow up. This confirms my way of thinking, and it challenges us to do more to be the best role models for our students.

I listened to Time for Dinner Ep. 10 and then watched the Race video. One thing that was sparked in me was that no matter what you are "born into" doesn't mean you can't finish the race.
One take away is that I should allow a space for my students to see that just because you didn't have one opportunity doesn't mean you wont have the opportunity for another.
I would share the Race video with my students.

Time for Dinner Ep. 10

I listened to the Time for Dinner podcast and then completed the first choice on the CP & E Choice Board. One spark that occurred during the podcast was when Dr. Bauer mentioned Ibram Kendi's quote, (I'm paraphrasing because I don't remember it exactly) that you cannot take chains off of someone and then tell them to get in line and run a race, and expect them to do well, or just as well as someone who was not just in chains. I took from that, that we cannot just give our students quizzes, tests, papers, and expect them to all to do the same, and think that just because someone didn't do as well as someone else, that it is the student's fault. History has an effect on all our students, and most of those effects we don't see in the classroom. But just because we can't see them, doesn't mean we can ignore them. We need to help our students get to advantageous positions in the classroom, try our best to activate their background knowledge by bringing aspects of their cultures and personalities into the classroom, and make an environment in our classroom where students feel like they are being prepared and represented.

# data[].attributes.body
This spark, confirmed my thinking because I've had students in my class who are black or minority students say "you really get us" or "you're different from the other teachers" and I realize that some of the soft skills, which are mentioned in the article, are those that I have/focus on in creating my classroom culture.

Biewen says that in order to change the world, we don't need all of the white people in the world, we just need enough with the right kind of power and influence to join with people of color to push the needle. This comment had a spark with me because change starts out small and as people see it and how it is working they begin to become more open minded. This open mindedness begins to grow.

One spark that I had when looking over the items in the NPSD framework for cultural proficiency in which I read the article: The Atlantic (June 2020) What Anti-Racist Educators Do Differently I thought it was useful that focusing on minority students (in the article it focused on Black students) when reflecting on lessons/data/teacher practices was meaningful in building connections, engaging learners and improving lesson design. I plan to look at my own classes through this lens and take some of the examples/suggested practices to design more engaging, culturally proficient lessons.

I have learned much of what John was saying from fellow musicians and friends that have expienced racism in the industry first hand.  Very interesting to see his perspecitive with a long career and how things were in his industry.   I will be incorporating more about history of performers in the industry and specifically the struggles black people and women have had in their careers.

According to Biewen, it is a fine line between "the idea of white privilege" and actual ways that my whiteness does not disadvantage me. I don't feel that I have always lived or had a privileged life and this can lead to defensiveness for many people. Biut I now know that there are those who have not had opportunities based on their color. I can say that I was not penalized for being white and it helps me see whiteness in a different light,

Very powerful. The opportunities are there. We as educators are responsible to seek them out and learn how to be better.
