Problematics Chapter 4 Presentation by Luisa M. https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj en-us 2023-10-16 02:52:09 UTC 2023-10-16 05:40:27 UTC hello@padlet.com lmatreci https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748039395 The realization and reflection in teaching is important because it involves many aspects within the educational system which includes examining their own classroom rules and the way the classroom functions. There should be existing rules that teachers should reflect upon to see who they might affect. The process of reflecting upon your own rules is important because it allows teachers to see the faults in their plans. Realization and reflection will help a teacher improve their teaching and make the classroom an effective place for learning. Putting yourself in the shoes of others and looking at how the rules affect you from a different standpoint will allow teachers to understand whether their rules are fair or not.

The key point that the text provides is that teachers should allow students to be involved in making rules. This could also help in different ways like allowing students to analyze the room and develop responsibility skills. Additionally, it will develop critical thinking skills. Teachers also have to consider the thoughts that go through the students of what they need, for example, water or bathroom usage.]]> 2023-10-16 03:26:26 UTC https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748046085 3 Ways to apply to a Future Classroom lmatreci https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748061818 I would like to implement the classroom rules by allowing the students and the teacher to co-create the rules together. We can all agree on rules as a whole. Inclusivity is important because they will feel like their voice is heard in the classroom. We can go over expectations together as well.

Students have a right to learn about inequities and injustices in history and in modern day. I will make sure to apply these teachings in my own classroom, because omitting these topics can be detrimental to their participation in society. They will not be involved and unable to create change. History is beneficial for us to learn because we can learn as a community not to repeat these mistakes.

As one of the articles mentioned, the creating of rules and classroom norms have evolved over time, and they restrict students in many ways. "Classroom management practices have evolved to include new and creative ways to control bodies, even when not physically together in classrooms: strict demands for children to wear school uniforms and adhere to dress codes while at home; arbitrary rules forbidding them to eat or drink while on screen; using participation and attendance norms that ignore unequal access to devices and young children's inability to tolerate long hours on a computer." (Shalaby, 2020). I would like to be more understanding of my students needs, the way I would like to change this for my classroom is to have a bit more leniency on these sorts of restrictions. For example: If a student is feeling a bit antsy or need something to help keep them calm (such as with anxiety), I would like to have a corner in the room dedicated to destress for students, they could also have a fidget toy and an allotted time to relax a bit. Children are energetic and sitting down for long periods of time makes it difficult for them to be present in class, this is why I would allow them to stimulate themselves during class.]]> 2023-10-16 03:34:58 UTC https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748061818 Article: Classroom Management as a Curriculum of Care lmatreci https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748111261 In this article, Carla Shalaby shares a story about a student in a 1st grade classroom by the name of Luna and how they demonstrated empathy. The student was repulsed by insects, yet they had many books about them, she wanted to get over her fear and be brave about them because she felt that it was unfair that they would die because of her disgust. She talks about how students are empathetic, and often practice equity, empathy, care, and kindness towards one another, but as we grow older, we begin to leave these practices over time and prioritize different values because they are no longer beneficial. These practices have become so normalized, but can be harmful to many different communities. Such values that "normalize cruelty, indignities, and the sacrifice of some for the benefit of others" (Shalaby, 2020) are becoming more and more commonplace in our society. Through teaching our students of classroom management practices, we can help them grow to become compassionate. Rather than simply teaching them to follow rules just to avoid being scolded, we can guide them as to why the rules are set in place and teach each other how we can care for one another. In the reading, it states that "Are we a beloved community engaged in genuine inquiry, or are we performing under constant surveillance? We can’t be both." (Rodriguez and Swalwell, 2022) I found this section to be very important, because it emphasizes a very key point the article discusses. If students are following rules for the sake of following them, they cannot be following rules for the sake of compassion, because at that point they are following them simply due to the fear of being reprimanded for breaking a rule.]]> 2023-10-16 04:20:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748111261 lmatreci https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748113141 The text explains how maps are used to teach geographic themes but do not involve important things such as indigenous places, controversies, or disputed borders. Classroom lectures leave important parts out and these points are important as they carry different implications and political thoughts. Additionally, the borders in textbooks can not be changed but borders are constructed through different means, those facts are important to share.]]> 2023-10-16 04:22:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748113141 lmatreci https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748115809 Community helpers in early childhood education simplifies the reality of what the professions truly are. The reality being that the jobs are diverse and are not fit for everyone. Jobs including emergency workers will likely have other jobs and medical staff will travel around the world in order to address understaffing in certain hospitals. These pitfalls in the learning system need to be fixed as the complexities of the jobs are important to understand. Education should not just focus on the happy side and provide false information to students.]]> 2023-10-16 04:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748115809 lmatreci https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748116209 When teaching communities, teachers need to involve the presence of conflict or any other important factors. It is important to explore the history that shapes communities and the groups that were impacted by the community. Communities in text are often idealized and to change this, we have to teach students the complexity and engage students with different factors that could affect their lives.]]> 2023-10-16 04:25:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748116209 lmatreci https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748121697 2023-10-16 04:30:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748121697 lmatreci https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748134762 2023-10-16 04:41:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748134762 lmatreci https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748137203 2023-10-16 04:43:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748137203 lmatreci https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748179785 How can we reintroduce and normalize these values/acts of care in the adult and working world? The article by Carla Shalaby mentions how as students grow, they also outgrow these values because of how school are traditionally making them more prioritize "competition over cooperation, individualism over collectivism, independence over interdependence" (Shalaby, 2020).

What are some small changes we can make in the classroom to fulfill student needs? What are some other essential student needs that are currently being neglected in classrooms currently? ]]> 2023-10-16 05:16:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748179785 lmatreci https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748181907 2023-10-16 05:18:14 UTC https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748181907 lmatreci https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748192511 2023-10-16 05:26:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748192511 References lmatreci https://padlet.com/lmatreci/5g57cgwb9htrrgkj/wish/2748207642 Rodriguez, N. & Swalwell K.
