I just find myself analyzing the point of what we're doing in real time, rather than keeping it in my head from the beginning. I am trying to see this as an example of not teaching to myself only, because I am SURE some students find it useful.
Obviously it is useful as a planning tool.]]> 2023-09-20 03:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712025730 lc230086 https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712033078 This article really reminded me of the potential for students to be engaged in science in a way uniquely exciting for THEM, if only the teachers can get out of the way.]]> 2023-09-20 03:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712033078 lc230086 https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712035580 One option, to provide volume and allow student choice.]]> 2023-09-20 03:47:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712035580 lc230086 https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712039441 Another (not mutually exclusive) option, to release control and truly let students lead the way]]> 2023-09-20 03:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712039441 lc230086 https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712041074 My favorite moments in the classroom are when a student gets excited in some way, and it seems like that can only happen when students have opportunities to approach learning in their own way. The thing I still struggle with is how to make that a predictable habit in the classroom.]]> 2023-09-20 03:52:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712041074 lc230086 https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712042578 This (and other resources we have looked at) had great strategies for getting to know students, but it just doesn't feel like it can be a formula.]]> 2023-09-20 03:53:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712042578 lc230086 https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712043311 Sometimes how it feels to try to connect with students. Even if I don't feel like I'm pretending, it is still often awkward to start. I am trying to remind myself that that's the point.

There has been one (and sort of a half) day scheduled for students to get to know each other and the teachers to get to know them. I really want to spend more time just doing that at the beginning, at least organizing deliberate 1-1s with students as we start doing activities.]]> 2023-09-20 03:56:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712055229 lc230086 https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712056832 Maybe I'm just naive about time]]> 2023-09-20 03:58:26 UTC https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712056832 lc230086 https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712059667 I can't get off my need for early on relationship building, though, because I am obsessed with this metaphor of learning being like driving a car together. First we have to build the car, and relationships are a key part. The better and earlier we build the car with all its parts, the faster and smoother we can drive our learning, so theoretically the time evens out.]]> 2023-09-20 04:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712059667 lc230086 https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712063077 This was a really great story to discuss in class, and a great example of social justice as a part of science. It was also very depressing, that sometimes it feels like social justice in science means identifying a horrifying problem and then not actually having power to change it.]]> 2023-09-20 04:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712063077 lc230086 https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712066696 This article, on the other hand, feels a little more hopeful, in giving some more power via knowledge to local communities. It still feels like too little, too slow.]]> 2023-09-20 04:07:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712066696 lc230086 https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712069648 I am afraid that framing science around social justice will teach students to view science as a thing that tells them awful stuff, because of the systemic forces that often prevent my students from taking meaningful action on the issues. Maybe I'm just too cynical about the possibility of change.
The point is, I want students to also feel the inherent wonder of science, of learning something that is unobservable to the naked eye, or ear, or nose. I believe that there is a way to weave the two together, the painful process of social justice and the beauty of science. I just haven't zeroed in on it yet.]]> 2023-09-20 04:10:44 UTC https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712069648 lc230086 https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712073726 This article pointing out how powerful the omission of certain topics was expanded my notion of the hidden curriculum.

I have to be actively aware and truly honest with myself of what subtextual messages are communicated in my class. Only then can I wisely choose whether and how to adjust my class to reflect different messages.]]> 2023-09-20 04:21:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lc230086/3xd1mdgy4gmce427/wish/2712081295
