I have carefully selected materials and designed a workshop for teachers to use as a source of knowledge, inspiration, and tools that they can actually make use of as they encounter new challenges to design virtual lessons which are inclusive, accessible, and culturally relevant for their students. I have selected the larger englobing theme of Culturally-Relevant Pedagogy and within it I will provide a workshop that briefly describes the topics of Identity, translanguaging, the four-field model, the importance of the conditions for learning and a quick overview of Hip-Hop Pedagogy. My aim with this curation of materials is for teachers to be inspired, empowered, and questioning of the different aspects of culture, youth culture, and the different cultures which we are in contact with every day. ]]> 2020-05-11 20:44:47 UTC https://padlet.com/aa42332/Bookmarks/wish/566028865 aa42332 https://padlet.com/aa42332/Bookmarks/wish/566052434 What is Hip-Hop culture? Why is it important to consider as Youth Culture? This article is all about the importance of Hip-Hop beyond a musical genre and taking it to our classrooms as a source for teaching and learning. ]]> 2020-05-11 20:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/aa42332/Bookmarks/wish/566052434 aa42332 https://padlet.com/aa42332/Bookmarks/wish/566057669 In this TED TALK, Jamila Lyiscott takes us on a journey throughout the different dimensions of culture that she swiftly transitions to and from in her daily life. She will tell you all about her identity as she understands it and how it comes to life as she expresses herself through her different languages, the languages that ultimately make up her linguistic repertoire. After watching this video, do you think there is one correct way to speak a certain language? Has your opinion changed? 
As you watch this video, it becomes clear that each individual has their own linguistic repertoire which is unique to their own lived experiences and the languages they are able to speak and understand, together with the cultures that they are from and their own conceptions of identity.]]> 2020-05-11 21:00:04 UTC https://padlet.com/aa42332/Bookmarks/wish/566057669 aa42332 https://padlet.com/aa42332/Bookmarks/wish/566122794 In this second part of this virtual workshop we listen to professor Dr. Ofelia García deeper discuss the linguistic repertoires of our students and the knowledge that they already come to school possessing. We look for definitions and terms to better learn about the practices that our students engage in as they are taking active roles in our lessons. In this part of the virtual workshop, I invite participants to think about their students' languaging practices and how they might use language to communicate. I seek that we delve deep into the concept of the four-field model and think about positionality and identity. What does it mean to consider and to welcome our student's identities, fluid language practices, and culture in our classrooms and lessons? ]]> 2020-05-11 21:40:13 UTC https://padlet.com/aa42332/Bookmarks/wish/566122794 aa42332 https://padlet.com/aa42332/Bookmarks/wish/566144326 In this Video made by the City College of New York by the New York State Initiative for Emergent Bilinguals, Ofelia García offers a deeper look into the concepts of fluid language practices that emergent bilinguals engage in. As we learn about emergent bilinguals and their languaging practices, we learn that they are making a full use of their linguistic repertoires which are unique to each individual student as they engage in communicative and social practices in which they are making use of all of their linguistic resources. Do you plan explicitly for these fluid language practices to take place in your classroom? Have you included your students' bilingual practices and translanguaging in your lessons? Take a moment to hear Dr. Ofelia García's introduction on translanguaging and students' use of their linguistic repertoires as they incorporate aspects of all of their language and how teachers can make use of these resources that come from our students to better facilitate learning and make it more authentic and accessible for students. ]]> 2020-05-11 21:55:35 UTC https://padlet.com/aa42332/Bookmarks/wish/566144326 aa42332 https://padlet.com/aa42332/Bookmarks/wish/566153995 Where did you stand in this four-field model as you were learning and training to become a teacher? Do you see yourself having walked through a trajectory in a specific direction? You can download and print this page or just draw on a piece of paper a plus + sign in the center and name each quadrant in the field, then you can pick a symbol, letter, or abstract shape which best identifies you and you can track your own trajectory over time. Where did you stand when you first started? Where did you stand as you learned important lessons over time? Where were you before and after this virtual workshop? Where do you want to go? Take a moment to complete this activity of deep dialogue with yourself and contemplate your progress and your newly set goals, what do you need to reach these goals? what actionable steps will you take to include your students' culture and identity towards making your classroom a more democratic classroom?]]> 2020-05-11 22:02:46 UTC https://padlet.com/aa42332/Bookmarks/wish/566153995 aa42332 https://padlet.com/aa42332/Bookmarks/wish/566164815 EMPOWERING SCHOOL CULTURE: INQUIRERS AND REFLECTIVE PRACTITIONERS; LEARNER-CENTERED EDUCATORS; ADVOCATES FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE.

We are invited to consider this new generation's standards as we design new and interactive learning experiences for our students. ]]> 2020-05-11 22:10:58 UTC https://padlet.com/aa42332/Bookmarks/wish/566164815 aa42332 https://padlet.com/aa42332/Bookmarks/wish/566208101 In this lecture, the Broadie Lecture, 2018 in Bowdoin College, professor Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billings provides us with her insight and invites us to reimagine a culturally relevant pedagogy for our students now, in this day and time, as she talks to us about the importance of empowering and motivating  our students by including aspects of youth culture in our teaching and learning practices, she provides us with two innovative and new concepts: The next generation or College Generation Mindsets and the concept of Click Map as a social and interpersonal map of our classrooms. Take a moment to watch this lecture delivered by Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billings and watch as much of it as you want, as it is a long lecture and I will provide you with professor Ladson-Billing's pedagogical materials and tools below this post. As you watch the lecture, watch with a critical eye and think about how these college generation mindsets and tendencies might apply to your students and your classroom. Which of them do apply and which of them would you leave out of your own list? Are there any mindsets that you consider worth adding? If so, which ones? Take a moment to create your own list of this mindsets and feel free to add and remove from it as you listen to professor Ladson-Billing's lecture.]]> 2020-05-11 22:46:04 UTC https://padlet.com/aa42332/Bookmarks/wish/566208101 aa42332 https://padlet.com/aa42332/Bookmarks/wish/566219981 Which of these mindsets have you recognized among your own students, which of them would you remove?

Virtual Teacher workshop for Elementary and Secondary School Teachers -PART IV- Culturally Relevant Pedagogy, Next Generation Mindsets and Tendencies & Hip-Hop Pedagogy. In this part of the virtual workshop we explore Hip-Hop Pedagogy and the elements of Hip-Hop as a Culture and Pedagogy. 
The different elements of Hip-Hop are introduced as powerful tools that can be integrated in our Culturally-Relevant lessons and classrooms in which students learn about, discover, reimagine and respond to content transitioning through different virtual and creative modalities such as dancing, composing lyrics, responding visually and rhythmically as they analyze and learn about their own cultures, environments and history. This section introduces us to the connections that can be made and the bridges that can be built between Hip-Hop culture, youth culture, and curricular content at school, and at the same time, empowering students and positioning them as constructors and designers of their own learning. ]]> 2020-05-11 23:05:53 UTC https://padlet.com/aa42332/Bookmarks/wish/566232458 aa42332 https://padlet.com/aa42332/Bookmarks/wish/566288355 This resource is a good starting point for critical analysis and dialogue with your students and yourself. As you engage in the virtual workshop, go back to your own version of the click-map or social seating guide of your classroom and compare and contrast it with the one I am providing you with here, this resource has been directly taken out of a google search and it is in reference to the first social seating chart seen in pop culture in the iconic movie "Mean Girls". This is a good starting point for several kinds of lessons as well, you can have your students react and create their own social eating guides and create a lesson with a focus for social justice. Bilingual teachers can invite their students to engage in illustrating their own versions of social seating guides as they, together with you, imagine and re-construct the different social spaces they transition at school in their daily lives. ]]> 2020-05-11 23:57:42 UTC https://padlet.com/aa42332/Bookmarks/wish/566288355 aa42332 https://padlet.com/aa42332/Bookmarks/wish/566304548 Take a moment to review these tendencies as you think back to the lecture or to your own labeling of students in your class together with the mindsets you learned about and think about whether or not they apply to your class and to your students, do you agree with them, would you add or remove any? As you engage in this practice think about the connection this might have to how you view your students and how that affects the classroom dynamics in considering a democratic classroom. ]]> 2020-05-12 00:15:33 UTC https://padlet.com/aa42332/Bookmarks/wish/566304548 aa42332 https://padlet.com/aa42332/Bookmarks/wish/566306575 This picture offers us an introduction to the different elements of hip-hop that can be incorporated in our classroom and different lessons.
