The Cherokee originally refused to leave their lands, until legal disputes came upon them from President Jackson and Congress. Once the treaty was signed, the Cherokee people were removed from their land and homes by force until they came to their new land west of Mississippi. The long, long haul from Georgia to Mississippi left many of the Cherokee people injured, sick, or face death. ]]> 2023-10-15 21:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/brmichel/76kzju4sqmct7tj9/wish/2747096079 Choctaw of Mississippi brmichel https://padlet.com/brmichel/76kzju4sqmct7tj9/wish/2747097507 The Choctaw of Mississippi were farmers on their own land with their own people. In 1830, the state of Mississippi and their government ended the Choctaw Nation and its ability to be their own government. This meant that the Choctaw would then have to obey the state authority. After numerous threats of claiming land and ownership between the state of Mississippi and the Choctaws, the Choctaw were forced to give over 10 million acres of their land to the federal government. ]]> 2023-10-15 21:56:40 UTC https://padlet.com/brmichel/76kzju4sqmct7tj9/wish/2747097507 Railroads brmichel https://padlet.com/brmichel/76kzju4sqmct7tj9/wish/2747099284 In 1831, the United States only had 73 miles of railroad tracks. By 1860, The US had 30,636 miles of railroad tracks. President Jackson was praised for his progression in expanding the railways. The railways were used to bring goods and personnel to and from the cities, bring hunters to their hunting grounds, and much more. The expansion of the rail road system to the Pacific Coast is what put an end to the frontier. ]]> 2023-10-15 22:00:21 UTC https://padlet.com/brmichel/76kzju4sqmct7tj9/wish/2747099284 Building a Culture of Equity Through Social-Emotional Learning brmichel https://padlet.com/brmichel/76kzju4sqmct7tj9/wish/2747100256 What is our why? Why do we use SEL, social emotional learning? 
- our why can be different based on the context of the question
- good intentions are not always good outcomes
- anything could be used as a weapon
As educators, we need to ensure that what we are doing inside and outside of our classrooms are not ruining our children's spirits and lives. In comparison, teachers and educators have also been victims in the injustice of our communities and we as educators have to overcome that to put our best foot forward for our students. The way we teach and how it is interpreted can be different and change over time, positively or negatively. Social emotional learning has its pros and cons as mentioned in both the textbook and the video. SEL can cause more harm than good when it is not used properly. ]]> 2023-10-15 22:02:28 UTC https://padlet.com/brmichel/76kzju4sqmct7tj9/wish/2747100256 Questions brmichel https://padlet.com/brmichel/76kzju4sqmct7tj9/wish/2747109237 - When Dena Simmons states that "anything can be used as a weapon", why is this not taught when teaching how to incorporate SEL in the classroom? 
- How do we as teachers ensure we create a classroom environment where our students are comfortable walking into our classroom, no matter their skin color? ]]> 2023-10-15 22:25:13 UTC https://padlet.com/brmichel/76kzju4sqmct7tj9/wish/2747109237 Plains Indians brmichel https://padlet.com/brmichel/76kzju4sqmct7tj9/wish/2747124820 The Plains Indians which lived west of the Mississippi River had their lives changed as whites began settling and civilizing their land. The Pawnee, one of the Plains tribes, were threatened by the increasing railroads. What was originally viewed as a sacred activity for the Pawnee people was taken over by whites: buffalo hunting. Hunting began to be a commercial activity, leaving new diseases that wiped out a large portion of the Pawnee population. ]]> 2023-10-15 23:00:48 UTC https://padlet.com/brmichel/76kzju4sqmct7tj9/wish/2747124820 Future Teaching brmichel https://padlet.com/brmichel/76kzju4sqmct7tj9/wish/2747128365 I can use all the information provided in my future classroom. I will create a safe, open and honest classroom structure in order to be able to discuss the hardest of topics and the easiest of topics. Ensuring that my classroom is a safe place will be more ideal and beneficial to discuss those hard topics with my students. I want my classroom environment to be an open environment where my students can ask any questions and not feel scared, nervous, ashamed, or feel any other sort of way when asking questions, no matter the subject. I plan to use social emotional learning throughout the whole school day and not just in small sections. If SEL is done correctly, it will be effective and I want to take what I have learned to incorporate effective strategies for SEL. I want to educate my students on social incompetence and injustice. Starting at a younger age with this will help students grow with their knowledge and create a more stable environment for them selves and their peers. ]]> 2023-10-15 23:07:19 UTC https://padlet.com/brmichel/76kzju4sqmct7tj9/wish/2747128365 References brmichel https://padlet.com/brmichel/76kzju4sqmct7tj9/wish/2747129980
