This website consists of many motivational pictures, sayings, and videos to help prevent high schoolers from dropping out. A couple videos I watched were of actual students telling their stories. They book stats, "in inner cities, where large numbers of African Americans live, the rate nears 50 percent" and that percent was of dropouts. This is an obvious issue that needs more light.]]> 2016-08-28 21:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/120197855 christadecker21 https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/120445510 Although Brown vs. Board of education has desegregated schools, they are still majority segregated. The schools in inner cities lack the same resources that suburban schools have. This can also be true for the types of teachers teaching in these schools. Would you want to bring your child to a school in the inner city?]]> 2016-08-29 23:58:07 UTC https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/120445510 christadecker21 https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/120448986 Students take in everything from their environment. This is the reason for a Hidden Curriculum. Most importantly we as teachers need to be mindful for the different was we may treat our students. Allowing Jimmy to get away with something more than normal because of feeling sorry for him is going to be noticed by the other students. (also don't tell students not to sit on the top of a bench table while you and other teachers are doing it)]]> 2016-08-30 00:27:44 UTC https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/120448986 christadecker21 https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/120449049 This is my favorite saying to keep in mind when working with students. We are all here so that we can help guide children to understand the world around them. We have to be able to be culturally congruent and culturally relevant for all of our children. By insuring we are able to accomplish these task we will be able to open the minds and touch the hearts of all our students. ]]> 2016-08-30 00:28:17 UTC https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/120449049 christadecker21 https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/120449125 Winfield's cross-classification system really allows you to see the different approaches of being a teacher and the effect it will have on your students. Many times you may feel as if you are doing what is best for your students and ultimately you aren't. I loved the cross-classification as well as the explanation of the Conductor and the coach classification.]]> 2016-08-30 00:28:55 UTC https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/120449125 christadecker21 https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/125861080 This school does a great job putting an emphasis on the importance of Collaborative learning.I feel it is a fantastic way to promote a since of community within the classroom. Allowing the students to help each other on their individual work is a great idea and can help students get faster feed back on work. This idea best correlates with chapter 4 "We're All in This Together."]]> 2016-09-22 19:45:08 UTC https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/125861080 christadecker21 https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/125865141 I chose this video because it is so important to understand just how much children see literally everything we do as adults. As discussed in Chapter 3 with Ms. Pauline Dupree's no-nonsense and no-frills. She understood the importance of being the example she wanted the children to be. I find myself thinking very ofter how my son doesn't understand anything Im saying until I hear myself when he begins talking. Like "Hello! I cant hear you!" when I'm asking my husband a question. Now he is saying that to me if I'm not responding to him.]]> 2016-09-22 20:04:51 UTC https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/125865141 christadecker21 https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/125866904 I like this video because she I emphasizing the importance of teaching as an art. She isn't continuing to go about the years of traditional ways of education and instead creating environments where all students are involved and feel important. I feel the accomplishments she made at uplifting her students is a very difficult thing for teachers to understand. Seeing the positive in even tough situations is something i will strive to do as an educator. Of course I plan to encourage them to do better but I have been the student who hates school and felt stupid and had the life sucked out of me seeing I got a -18 out of a 20 question assignment.]]> 2016-09-22 20:15:05 UTC https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/125866904 christadecker21 https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/125873526 This video explains the importance of getting students involved in their community and giving back. These experiences allow students to learn how to be empathetic for others while creating support systems amongst each other. They are not alone and they have the power to create the community they want. This corresponds to chapter 4 "Culturally Relevant Teaching Encourages Students Collaboratively and Expects Them to Teach Each Other and Take Responsibility for Each Other.]]> 2016-09-22 20:59:24 UTC https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/125873526 christadecker21 https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/125876886 This video represents the idea that all students are awesome and knowledge able. We as educators have to provide opportunities for students to succeed. The book discusses how Patricia Hilliard believes that all students know what they are going to be taught in some form or fashion and it is her job to make those connections for them. ]]> 2016-09-22 21:27:56 UTC https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/125876886 christadecker21 https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/134359853 Ladson-Billings discusses how throughout history African American slaves were denied the ability to learn to read. By not having the skills to read has displaced many families due to the fact that in order to become successful you have to be able to read and have a wide range of vocabulary. The generation that followed slavery were able to finish school but were not exposed to the literacy that a child from a wealthy family would have. Now this has transitioned to more of a poverty issue. We see in many title one schools students having less exposure to literacy at home. Parents do not have the time to read to their children due to the fact that they are working multiple jobs. These families could also not see the importance in spending money on purchasing books to keep in their homes for their children because of how important the money is to use for other things like food and clothing.]]> 2016-10-31 21:51:45 UTC https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/134359853 christadecker21 https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/134363476 This is a fantastic article about Culturally Relevant Teaching.  It discusses how the goal of CRT is that  teaching is a two-way street. Students aren't just their to do as they are told they have a role in the process of learning in the classroom. Each student is unique and has something to bring to the classroom to share that is different from someone else.]]> 2016-10-31 22:39:45 UTC https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/134363476 christadecker21 https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/134364472 Ladson-Billings discusses the types of activities the Ann Lewis and Julia Devereaux used in their classroom. I struggle understanding exactly how to incorporate CRT into my lesson plans and this article hits the nail on the head for me. "The common belief is if you mention Africa, Mexico, or famous black and brown high achievers, it will spark students’ attention. Then they will be motivated to participate.In reality, culturally responsive teaching is less about using racial pride as a motivator and more about mimicking students’ cultural learning styles and tools." So in the article they use examples like Gamify it, Make It Social, or Storify It, which are fantastic ideas.

This has caused an issue for students who become involved in minor incidents resulting in becoming suspended or having a record. I see how stressing the importance of keeping out violence and disruption in the school but at the same time we don't need to be ruining a child's life for defending themselves in a fight.]]> 2016-10-31 23:00:46 UTC https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/134364996 christadecker21 https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/134365460 Education needs to be culturally relevant in order to break from the assimilations concept of teaching. Students are different and we need to take out the best in every student. They have great things they can bring to the classroom and teach each other greatness. This video goes a little far from talking about being CRT but I think this video hits some very major points about education. I am not sure if his sources are credible but this video makes me think and I really enjoyed how he used the same metaphor about having a fish climb a tree which is what we have talked about in class.That isn't exactly scholarly talk but the meaning behind it is.]]> 2016-10-31 23:08:25 UTC https://padlet.com/christadecker21/8nl48ip1c5sx/wish/134365460
