CCT07 Week 12: What did you learn? by Ms Penny Vlies https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5aogm1i1rgtvglpw What were the three most interesting ideas? What were the most challenging ideas? en-us 2021-11-04 00:07:09 UTC 2021-11-04 05:41:23 UTC hello@padlet.com How institutional racism may be prevalent in current education system which I personally believed was not the case (I used to think). Teachers should recognise possible issues that culturally distant students may face, and attempt to response effectively https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5aogm1i1rgtvglpw/wish/1866620404 2021-11-04 05:07:52 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5aogm1i1rgtvglpw/wish/1866620404 Do you think institutional racism would be effectively dismantled from the 'top up'? Or do you think institutional racism is largely made up of all the interpersonal interactions between teachers and students? - Dharna dharnachhibbar23 https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5aogm1i1rgtvglpw/wish/1866625808 2021-11-04 05:11:40 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5aogm1i1rgtvglpw/wish/1866625808 I thought three interesting and challenging ideas from the course were the ways interpersonal racism could be brought into classrooms accidentally by white educators, the relationship between LGBTQ+ identities and religious educational institutions and how we has teachers have the power to influence our classrooms with different positive and important values - Phoebe phoebejanedunn https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5aogm1i1rgtvglpw/wish/1866627472 2021-11-04 05:12:56 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5aogm1i1rgtvglpw/wish/1866627472 I learnt that there are actually different level of racism, which I was not aware of before. I also learnt more about policies, how they affect us as educators, and how we can impact them if we feel they are not justified. As I grew up overseas, I was also unaware of the existence of school choice, and how it can actually negatively affect those at. a disadvantage and create segregation. laurajmonaci https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5aogm1i1rgtvglpw/wish/1866628379 Laura M]]> 2021-11-04 05:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5aogm1i1rgtvglpw/wish/1866628379 Key takeaway from this unit: As a teacher I hold power to influence social change within the classroom, hence it is important to ensure that I am encouraging positive social change within the classroom, as I am responsible for the social development and wellbeing of the next generation. Challenging idea: the limitations I have as an educator in relation to policy, and how I can only do so much to influence change on an interpersonal level, but have little say at a macro level- Laura B https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5aogm1i1rgtvglpw/wish/1866628954 2021-11-04 05:13:40 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5aogm1i1rgtvglpw/wish/1866628954 How certain groups of students are left out of the curriculum. How much policy/practice needs to change for all students to be properly access our education system. How we can blindly wander into a classroom and just do what has always been done at the expense of some students because it 'works' - Hugh https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5aogm1i1rgtvglpw/wish/1866630312 2021-11-04 05:13:59 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5aogm1i1rgtvglpw/wish/1866630312 the hidden curriculum is an idea that I was introduced to in my first year of education. It was reiterated in this weeks content, that it can contribute to institutionalised racisim. I'm also wondering if this is being taught at uni, then why hasn't anything been done about it? spritchard00 https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5aogm1i1rgtvglpw/wish/1866631441 2021-11-04 05:14:50 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5aogm1i1rgtvglpw/wish/1866631441 I believe that the integration of culturally responsive pedagogy in our practice to accomodate a diverse pool of students needs to be a critical focus for teachers continuing professional development - Cindy https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5aogm1i1rgtvglpw/wish/1866632020 2021-11-04 05:15:16 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5aogm1i1rgtvglpw/wish/1866632020 The three main ideas I've learnt over this semester would be the topics of gender, racism and indigenous knowledge and cultures. These are topics that I have not touched much on or associated with throughout my schooling and thus they present many problems I was not seeing in the classroom. Such as how teacher can bring in racism or bring down a students identity and especially with teaching indigenous students all these leads to how teacher awareness and education is just as important as teaching content. - Brendon https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5aogm1i1rgtvglpw/wish/1866633594 2021-11-04 05:16:24 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5aogm1i1rgtvglpw/wish/1866633594 I learnt just how much unbelievably influential policy is at influencing "invisible" discourses. But also these discourses aren't invisible to everyone - I'm a white, cis, straight, male therefore one of my biggest take-aways was about practicing critical awareness to the hidden curriculum that's effecting students. and illuminating course overall - Tom. https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5aogm1i1rgtvglpw/wish/1866635688 2021-11-04 05:18:02 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5aogm1i1rgtvglpw/wish/1866635688
