I chose this article to use as it seemed to me that it could be applied to every group listed in the assignment. Block (2015) mentions that building a "container" and ensuring that voices can be heard in a safe environment. This is a strategy that I believe should be applied to high school classes in general. Allowing students to feel safe and able to express their opinions, including those in marginalized groups, without degrading into personal attacks allows students to take risks and be involved in the learning process (Block, 2015). ]]> 2022-04-03 18:37:03 UTC https://padlet.com/joemstryffeler/codv007zbyw5lxxh/wish/2127407914 joemstryffeler https://padlet.com/joemstryffeler/codv007zbyw5lxxh/wish/2127443305 Citation: Human Rights Watch.

I included this article as it reminded me of some of the information that we encountered during the anti-bias quiz that we took. According to that quiz 84.5% of LGBTQ+ students reported that teachers did nothing to stop harassment they receive. While this article may not have many strategies for as far as classroom teaching it more deals with being aware of how these students are treated. One thing that the article does suggest is that all schools need to document incidents of harassment for LGBTQ+ students. As a teacher it should be important that we treat these students fairly and ensure that they are safe in our classrooms.

This article hit home for me as someone who grew up in a predominantly white area. I found the section of the article about teaching and building a shared vocabulary. the article is in reference to 6th grade English, but it can be useful for any subject. When discussing certain periods of history, especially when dealing with race or slavery, establishing a shared vocabulary that your students can draw on could be helpful for them to be able put their own experiences into words. ]]> 2022-04-03 19:50:26 UTC https://padlet.com/joemstryffeler/codv007zbyw5lxxh/wish/2127462591 joemstryffeler https://padlet.com/joemstryffeler/codv007zbyw5lxxh/wish/2127494661 Citation: Martinez, R.

One of the points that this article emphasizes is the use of Universal Design for Learning to make sure that students can engage with the material you are trying to teach. Ensuring that students with disabilities are able to participate can be an important factor in their academic success.

While this may not be a "teaching strategy" in the exact words it is still an important aspect of teaching LGBTQ+ students. Making sure that they feel valid in their own identity is something that we, as educators, should strive to do. This is something that I feel should be done for students at all times as their identity, especially in the high school grades, can be something that effects their performance in schools. This is a simple way for us to show our support for our students being who they are. ]]> 2022-04-03 21:32:00 UTC https://padlet.com/joemstryffeler/codv007zbyw5lxxh/wish/2127532485 joemstryffeler https://padlet.com/joemstryffeler/codv007zbyw5lxxh/wish/2127740380 Citation: Anti-Defamation League.

High School is a difficult time for many students. They are learning not only about themselves, but their peers and their place in the world. Sometimes that is compounded by not know how to speak to others. These tips and strategies in this article are fantastic ways for students to navigate their interpersonal relationships, but for teachers to use to set rules and expectations for classroom interactions. These strategies are important for students to learn not just for the classroom, but also for life outside of school. ]]> 2022-04-04 01:40:08 UTC https://padlet.com/joemstryffeler/codv007zbyw5lxxh/wish/2127740380 joemstryffeler https://padlet.com/joemstryffeler/codv007zbyw5lxxh/wish/2127761462 Citation: Scharf, A. (2016). Critical practices for anti-bias Education. Southern Poverty Law Center. 

When searching for practices for anti-bias education the Southern Poverty Law Center is a resource that everyone should be aware of. This book is not only a great tool to be used in all levels of education, it also gives specific standards that can be taught. These can be used to inform the methods of instruction used to ensure that students see the information from multiple perspectives. ]]> 2022-04-04 01:55:56 UTC https://padlet.com/joemstryffeler/codv007zbyw5lxxh/wish/2127761462 joemstryffeler https://padlet.com/joemstryffeler/codv007zbyw5lxxh/wish/2127818864 Citation: Hayes, J.

Stereotypes abound when dealing with students from lower socio-economic backgrounds. Hayes (2019) addresses some of the ways in which teachers are able to assist these students regardless of grade level. This is one of the reasons that I chose this article. While they may not be specific for a grade level theses strategies can be utilized by any teacher in a lower socio-economic area. Hayes (2019) mentions the importance of teaching to their social needs. By having students use social and cooperative strategies we can help their development in a safe environment. ]]> 2022-04-04 02:41:43 UTC https://padlet.com/joemstryffeler/codv007zbyw5lxxh/wish/2127818864 joemstryffeler https://padlet.com/joemstryffeler/codv007zbyw5lxxh/wish/2127852866 Citation: McBride, L.

With the increasing focus on different perspectives, historical conflict, emphasis of social change this article has great advice for anyone looking to become more aware. One of the strategies that McBride and Manchac (2022) suggest is setting context for students who are not aware. This is a fantastic idea as it will change the learning from facts, dates, and times by connecting the human element to that information. There is a fantastic example in the article with the idea of school integration and this is represented in a painting. This painting sums up more emotion than I could ever convey.

Coming from a background where I had a few different sports injuries and spent a good amount of time on crutches I can say that these strategies are important. While my time on crutches ended there are students who will need to have these accommodations for their entire lives. their disability may not just impact their ability to move between classrooms, but also their ability to write. Some students will need more time to finish assignments or need modifications so that they can properly demonstrate their knowledge. These are only a few of the effects, but I think that these strategies and the information in this article can be helpful for students of all ages. ]]> 2022-04-04 03:26:24 UTC https://padlet.com/joemstryffeler/codv007zbyw5lxxh/wish/2127873176
