know me as a person.

michaelaraikes — 2024-04-12 18:50:58 UTC

they have taken time to get to know me a build a relationship with me.

Connection

2024-04-27 03:03:27 UTC

I learn best when connection is made, when I know that the teacher is invested [in me] makes a meaningful and engaging connection with me.

Look like me

2024-05-06 14:48:55 UTC

Learning from someone who reflects who you are is one of the best things a student can experience.

Where I feel safe

michaelaraikes — 2024-05-07 23:33:26 UTC

physically, emotionally, mentally, etc.

feels like real life

michaelaraikes — 2024-05-07 23:33:54 UTC

doing the thing we are learning about

care for my being

2024-05-07 23:51:05 UTC

They make me feel understood and valued in my being (culturally, physically, spiritually, intellectually)... these are the folx I have relational trust with (e.g. can take risks, can share wild ideas, can be vulnerable)

reciprocity

2024-05-07 23:52:25 UTC

high-quality teaching values all parties, molds all parties, all folx leave with a different understanding of self/each other/the world

look like joy

2024-05-07 23:53:28 UTC

High quality teaching is seen in the faces of students, the joy of learning is present, curiosity is activated, relationships are evident...

People who were like me

2024-05-08 16:36:35 UTC

Learning from teachers/school leadership that is reflective of my educational experience (being labeled "bad", suspended, truant, etc.)

It makes sense

2024-05-08 16:40:38 UTC

Where I am not able to understand me being at fault, but an educator is able to explain it in a way I am able to understand.

"Traditional" teaching shouldn't be

2024-05-08 16:43:37 UTC

Having the requirement of being in the classroom should not be a high prioritized requirement for the evolution of potential school leaders.

dissonance

2024-05-08 18:06:55 UTC

where my thinking or understanding is challenged and stretched--with structure--to imagine differently

authenticity

2024-05-08 18:07:51 UTC

Where I'm encouraged to reflect on the internal work, on my own values/beliefs/actions in service of alignment

Respect me

azuregrossi — 2024-05-08 18:39:31 UTC

Respect me and understand that I am my own person. They don't force me to change my mind but they challenge me to expand my viewpoints.

Is nurturing to our being

azuregrossi — 2024-05-08 18:41:49 UTC

and provides us with opportunities to know about ourselves, our history/community, and the world around us. Develops a sense of criticality, helps us know what our values are, and give us the tools to make informed decisions about our future.

I am not judged

azuregrossi — 2024-05-08 18:43:38 UTC

When I can able to make mistake, to go at my own pace, to grapple with big ideas, to bring my own ideas to the table, to share my learning in the way that works best for me.

Clarity

kelliehernandez1 — 2024-05-09 13:42:46 UTC

When there is clarity, not just about a topic but how it applies to life and more specifically, why it's important for humanity to know and understand

Celebrate my strengths

jennyvoss1 — 2024-05-09 22:37:25 UTC

While they know and are focused on improving my weaknesses, they don't define me as them. They shed that deficit mindset and publicly regularly note my strengths.

Accessibility in Engagement is High

jennyvoss1 — 2024-05-09 23:38:59 UTC

Live closed captioning, subtitles, slides available to follow along, colored highlighters & print copies, recorded sessions I can review later... all these things lower affect and allow me to focus better

Including Student Voice

jennyvoss1 — 2024-05-09 23:40:22 UTC

Values the wealth of ideas and questions in our students, as well as their background knowledge

when the learning feels relevant

michaelaraikes — 2024-05-10 00:19:30 UTC

to the time period, to my life, to my lived experience

Invested in learner agency

2024-05-10 00:23:44 UTC

people who don't have their own 'agenda' in guiding me a certain direction; they are invested in me getting to where I want to go (the learned drives the learning & has agency)

preparing me for my future

michaelaraikes — 2024-05-10 00:24:47 UTC

Collaboration includes the perspectives of others

kelliehernandez1 — 2024-05-10 00:25:08 UTC

flexibility

michaelaraikes — 2024-05-10 00:31:44 UTC

michaelaraikes — 2024-05-10 00:36:21 UTC

you say you know me, but do you get me?

michaelaraikes — 2024-05-10 00:40:14 UTC

values the knowledges and lived experiences of all parties

[i.e. students]

ethics of love

2024-05-10 00:44:27 UTC

love is at the core of our relationships and practices and love is centered in relational learning. [recognizing it is radical act to center spirituality/emotionality in teaching & learning] bell hooks ethics of love.

mistakes as a part of learning

michaelaraikes — 2024-05-10 00:47:54 UTC

safe/brave space to make mistakes and learn and grow

"the culture of perfectionism is so oppressive"

Learner

2024-05-10 00:56:53 UTC

A lead learner is comfortable learning publicly with their students. Mistakes and all.

In OUR learning organization learning is iterative and collective.

and the impact this has on how educators show up to work

awareness that there are other ways to think about education

no current shared understanding

[Policy 2000?]

michaelaraikes — 2024-06-06 23:46:36 UTC

an example of the neurodivergent spectrum

michaelaraikes — 2024-06-07 00:10:11 UTC

I can see this at all levels - centering connections, relationships, relevant learning OVER content coverage, checking boxes, centering urgency

Humble Learners who Listen Deeply

2024-06-07 00:18:27 UTC

Listen deeply to others in order to avoid assumptions, adjust mindset to see criticism as a pathway to growth and new solutions.

Seek connection with students, families, communities.

Joy & Celebration of Learning

2024-06-07 00:25:51 UTC

Learning should spark joy. Celebrate even the little things 💜 If the space for Black joy, there is space for all joy!

"Self-Awareness"

2024-06-07 00:26:50 UTC

Connection to Liberatory Design:

Leadership engages in their own identity, and self-awareness: "the mirror work"
Leaders know and understand their strengths, and the strengths of others; and create conditions for all of our strengths to be collectively engaged.

Compassionate Curiosity - " 360-degree compassion (WDCaSD)

2024-06-07 00:27:40 UTC

deenarusso — 2024-06-07 00:28:12 UTC

Breaking down barriers of inequity in all spaces means always making space for voices, stories and bodies of the global majority.

2024-06-07 00:29:54 UTC
