I think she would think more deeply about what the boxes or 'building blocks' are made up of to create equity for each individual student. In her book she suggests three steps that must be present in order for a student to feel fully included and engaged: they need to know that their ability is believed in, that one number or assessment does not define them, and who they are as an individual needs to be appreciated. What each of these ideas looks like is different for each individual student, but how that stacks up for each individual would be similar to the additional 'boxes' that are needed for equity.]]> 2020-07-08 19:51:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jpatti/bcreve2neyau520w/wish/650413164 aogiba https://padlet.com/jpatti/bcreve2neyau520w/wish/650611869 I show this image to my class at the beginning of the year as part of a slideshow talking about equality vs equity. I also think of this more from the lens of all students having what they need not necessarily having the same. I struggle with this as being used for racial equity. In the book it spoke about not making the work easier but more connecting it back to the individual student. Connecting back to things that connect to a student on a personal level. For instance real life word problems. The book spoke of a teacher setting up a math activity all around getting hair done.Starting a business around that. The students were engaged and excited to participate. It was said originally that some of the students were even labeled as troubled and not smart. These students were actively engaged and participating fully. I also struggle with the picture being that the people are outside the fence. I understand that I am taking this literally, but I would like to see these people included on the other side of the fence. The book spoke about the importance of community. I would like to see these people feel more a part of the community inside the fence.]]> 2020-07-09 01:49:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jpatti/bcreve2neyau520w/wish/650611869 jobrien15 https://padlet.com/jpatti/bcreve2neyau520w/wish/650613054 I think that this image demonstrates the difference between equity and equality in a general sense, but I don't think it demonstrates racial equity. I think that the author would want us to work on reminding students that rather then watching the game from atop crates, they are capable enough to close the gap by going around. ]]> 2020-07-09 01:51:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jpatti/bcreve2neyau520w/wish/650613054 cweldin https://padlet.com/jpatti/bcreve2neyau520w/wish/652592591 I agree with many comments that were already stated.  If this were truly equitable, I would think that the people watching the game would be in the stands with everyone else and not outside the fence.  ]]> 2020-07-12 11:55:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jpatti/bcreve2neyau520w/wish/652592591 jsawyer10 https://padlet.com/jpatti/bcreve2neyau520w/wish/654489453 I think I struggle with this being a good representation for racial equity because it seems to have an undertone that someone's race has more deficiencies than another's. It doesn't seem quite right that we would be thinking about racial equity as removing barriers on people's race so that they could watch the game. Rather, we should be thinking about do our students even care about the game, or is that what we are trying to get them to care about. A big focus of the reading this week was about understanding students so that you can engage them in something that deeply interests them, while providing rigorous expectations and tasks for students to work on. Baseball always gets me as an example because I have 0 interest in it. Anything about it I'm already tuned out. I think racial equity should be thinking about how can we reimagine our classrooms/curriculum so that we tap into our students identity and allow them to explore what interests them and what is important to them as a way of making it through curriculum standards. This reading really connects with the racial equity PD I took earlier in the summer, one of the big takeaways being how can I decolonize my curriculum so that there are diverse perspectives and cultures represented and celebrated. ]]> 2020-07-14 20:03:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jpatti/bcreve2neyau520w/wish/654489453 vcruz11 https://padlet.com/jpatti/bcreve2neyau520w/wish/654549683 What I took away from this week's reading is that the problem with trying to create equitable educational opportunities for all is that black and brown children are still viewed through a deficit lens. While this image definitely had it's place in starting the conversation about equity vs. equality, it's time for us to evolve. Yes, equity means that everyone gets what they need as opposed to everyone receiving the same thing/treatment. However, we need to also acknowledge the fact that black and brown people are still so stigmatized as less than. I believe that Lisa Delpit would suggest that this image needs some updating. She might say that the picture does not fully illustrate the problem as it truly exists. She might suggest updating it to include images that do not show the two shorter children as having something wrong with them that would require intervention, rather that the image show the inequity in the environment. This week's reading really emphasized the importance of understanding that there is no true biological basis for an achievement gap, "but rather between black children's performance and these same children's exponentially greater potential." As educators, we need to actually teach these children,  examine and confront biases, and lastly help all students connect with the curricula.  The article below helps to provide a different perspective on the image. ]]> 2020-07-14 21:49:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jpatti/bcreve2neyau520w/wish/654549683 https://padlet.com/jpatti/bcreve2neyau520w/wish/656995647 I chose the book I am reading because Raising Expectations is the key to progress for our students.]]> 2020-07-17 16:02:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jpatti/bcreve2neyau520w/wish/656995647
