Bronx Arena Building Curriculum by Natalia Foreman https://padlet.com/curriculumkweens/4ttlyizroe63y94l In Collaboration with Kween Natalia en-us 2022-01-31 14:54:16 UTC 2022-07-07 15:07:44 UTC hello@padlet.com Struggling with "Identity" in some content areas https://padlet.com/curriculumkweens/4ttlyizroe63y94l/wish/2021789596 I feel like I've given space for identity in many of my classes, but I've really struggled with ways to include/build identity in ways that don't feel ornamental or decorative in some subjects (specifically, math and Computer Science).]]> 2022-01-31 17:15:07 UTC https://padlet.com/curriculumkweens/4ttlyizroe63y94l/wish/2021789596 Intellect - I feel sort of comfortable https://padlet.com/curriculumkweens/4ttlyizroe63y94l/wish/2021790532 I think that most of my work with students is centered around building this aspect of the framework - I try to focus on educating students on the history of the world around them and helping them build their knowledge - I definitely still feel as though this needs more work though. ]]> 2022-01-31 17:15:28 UTC https://padlet.com/curriculumkweens/4ttlyizroe63y94l/wish/2021790532 challenge- sustaining my energy https://padlet.com/curriculumkweens/4ttlyizroe63y94l/wish/2021791982 Some days I can hardly think about teaching because of the state of everything else in the world, other days I dump everything left I have into it  ]]> 2022-01-31 17:16:06 UTC https://padlet.com/curriculumkweens/4ttlyizroe63y94l/wish/2021791982 Identity https://padlet.com/curriculumkweens/4ttlyizroe63y94l/wish/2021793641 I love this part of the framework and sometimes like to live in this area in lessons/conversations with students]]> 2022-01-31 17:16:48 UTC https://padlet.com/curriculumkweens/4ttlyizroe63y94l/wish/2021793641 Start backwards https://padlet.com/curriculumkweens/4ttlyizroe63y94l/wish/2021793762 Working backwards.

I think a fair amount of our other online curricula contain some (or most) of the parts of the framework... but I'm not sure that the elements all come across as effectively when completed asychronously/independently.]]> 2022-01-31 17:17:24 UTC https://padlet.com/curriculumkweens/4ttlyizroe63y94l/wish/2021795098 https://padlet.com/curriculumkweens/4ttlyizroe63y94l/wish/2021795614 - skills: I feel good about how the competency system helps me focus on 1-2 major skills.
- identity: it is pretty easy to do personal connections in ELA, and I think I have a good amount of space for kids to make choices about what to learn about that are interesting to them personally]]> 2022-01-31 17:17:38 UTC https://padlet.com/curriculumkweens/4ttlyizroe63y94l/wish/2021795614 https://padlet.com/curriculumkweens/4ttlyizroe63y94l/wish/2021795773 Students attendance]]> 2022-01-31 17:17:42 UTC https://padlet.com/curriculumkweens/4ttlyizroe63y94l/wish/2021795773 I mostly struggle with the Identity bulletpoint- because some of my students have incorporated as part of their identity, "I'm stupid", "I'm not a math person", etc... and this takes on a self-fulfilling prophecy effect. Getting them to challenge what they think is part of their identity can be crucial- and difficult, because of the emotional impact of previous perceived failures. https://padlet.com/curriculumkweens/4ttlyizroe63y94l/wish/2021796781 2022-01-31 17:18:05 UTC https://padlet.com/curriculumkweens/4ttlyizroe63y94l/wish/2021796781 Burnout https://padlet.com/curriculumkweens/4ttlyizroe63y94l/wish/2021797229 I don't know how much more I can give.

I think our school model could never transition entirely away from asynchronous/independent classes, and I wonder how to bring that energy to those classes.]]> 2022-01-31 17:18:49 UTC https://padlet.com/curriculumkweens/4ttlyizroe63y94l/wish/2021798331 Intellect https://padlet.com/curriculumkweens/4ttlyizroe63y94l/wish/2021798638 One of my favorite things is to watch students wrestle with/talk about different concepts and ideas, especially when applied to things in the world around them.

Can sometimes feel like I'm leading them in a certain direction but that I'd also be remiss not to ask them to consider a certain question/angle. And when are the times I maybe should be asking students to be critical but I myself don't have the critical lens on that thing to realize it's an opportunity?

Content - it's okay. But I don't know if I do well enough at helping students learn vocabulary, learn the background info they need to fully and deeply understand texts, etc.]]> 2022-01-31 17:20:12 UTC https://padlet.com/curriculumkweens/4ttlyizroe63y94l/wish/2021801768 1.
