Can we address racial biases in our communities to create greater change for our students. Creating steps toward solutions for our students. Teaching students to reframe and relabel negative thoughts to find strengths. Design curriculum that includes culture and community thoughts, politics, and external environment. ]]> 2021-01-08 16:35:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ginaanngarcia/155kkvuna611c4kb/wish/1067720591 https://padlet.com/ginaanngarcia/155kkvuna611c4kb/wish/1067724551 We talked about ways that this needs to be done in curriculum throughout all grade levels. Students have shown buy-in in activist learning.
We also discussed the importance of the need to MODEL this, and have students know they have a voice (and know how to use that voice productively, not destructively).]]> 2021-01-08 16:36:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ginaanngarcia/155kkvuna611c4kb/wish/1067724551 Student research projects and capstone projects--students have the chance to pick their own topics and find topics they are passionate about. The question is where we can do that more. https://padlet.com/ginaanngarcia/155kkvuna611c4kb/wish/1067730609 Middle schools students emailed state representatives about their concerns. We can expand on this and have students be given opportunities to stand in front of people, like the way the middle schoolers got to visit the Capital and talk to Ed Gainey.

We talked about the values that we as an organization communicate; what happens when kids fall short of it? (When kids fail academically, or don't want to go to a 4 year college). How can we better support those students?]]> 2021-01-08 16:45:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ginaanngarcia/155kkvuna611c4kb/wish/1067770899 We have a caring and thoughtful community.
