Dilemma by Christina Gavin https://padlet.com/cgavin6/edup2t1rdnszrti2 (1) Based on this feedback, what seems to be the dilemma here? (2) Based on this feedback, what are students telling us? (3)What are our next steps as an equity team to respond to this dilemma? en-us 2021-01-02 23:56:31 UTC 2021-03-01 15:34:40 UTC hello@padlet.com 1) your response to part 1 cgavin6 https://padlet.com/cgavin6/edup2t1rdnszrti2/wish/1049203029 2) Your response to part 2
3) Your response to part 3]]> 2021-01-03 00:01:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cgavin6/edup2t1rdnszrti2/wish/1049203029 1) That students want to keep talking about issues and current events, and teachers may not feel comfortable doing so, or do not think it should be a priority https://padlet.com/cgavin6/edup2t1rdnszrti2/wish/1197926921 2) Students are telling us that they want to be heard, and involved. They want their teachers to make time and space to talk about issues

3) Maybe we could provide a list of thoughts/questions teachers could use when discussing difficult topics (I think some articles were shared by Dr. Hackett as well) ]]> 2021-02-12 19:11:07 UTC https://padlet.com/cgavin6/edup2t1rdnszrti2/wish/1197926921 1. The dilemma here is students aren't having the space/ time to talk about events that are troubling them or feel like should be discussed. Another part of the dilemma is there isn't enough time in the day to have the opportunity to speak about hard topics. It also sounds like there could be a lack of know-how in order to have these conversation in the classroom. Also the dilemma seems to be coming from teachers reacting to an event instead of incorporating a dedicated space to talk about hard topics. https://padlet.com/cgavin6/edup2t1rdnszrti2/wish/1197932737 2. Students are telling us they are not being heard and feel like the classroom lacks opportunity to have student lead discussions.
3. Next steps would be to have more dedicated time for class discussions and the flexibility in scheduling. Also having a dedicated space/time to talk about equity issues and it be part of the routine rather than a discussion to seem like a reactionary solution. ]]> 2021-02-12 19:12:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cgavin6/edup2t1rdnszrti2/wish/1197932737 1) Students feel like they don't have the space and time to discuss important issues. https://padlet.com/cgavin6/edup2t1rdnszrti2/wish/1197933352 2) Students are telling us to give them time and a safe space to discuss their concerns. They want to be part of the conversation. They hear different opinions at home and would like to have a space to discuss what they hear and share others thoughts as well.
3) We should provide dedicated time and space to hear all voices. We teach students to disagree respectfully. Yet we don't trust that they can do it so we shy away. We need to provide a safe space where students can say their opinions, share their fears and find solace that all is well or will be.]]> 2021-02-12 19:12:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cgavin6/edup2t1rdnszrti2/wish/1197933352 https://padlet.com/cgavin6/edup2t1rdnszrti2/wish/1197933894 1. Students want to feel that their teachers care about them and just having a quick conversation might feel to them that the teacher is just checking the box off, saying they "talked" about it.

2. Students are telling us they want more time for conversations, they want more time to be heard.

3. We need to give more time to teachers to have this discussions and maybe more support for teachers who may not know how to respond.

3)Share this info with the staff. Give permission for teachers to revisit talks/SEL with students.  Certain times of day for a check in?

Dilemma: Students feel as though difficult events are something that are touched upon briefly and that once it is talked about once it is enough and students have moved passed it and not all students feel that way. students want to feel comfortable talking about things in the classroom and not told they need to leave to discuss it elsewhere https://padlet.com/cgavin6/edup2t1rdnszrti2/wish/1197934289 2. They do not feel listened to and that not everyone is having the same experience/reaction to events
3. dedicating more time to talk about these things; asking the students what they need instead of assuming what we are doing is enough.]]> 2021-02-12 19:12:51 UTC https://padlet.com/cgavin6/edup2t1rdnszrti2/wish/1197934289 https://padlet.com/cgavin6/edup2t1rdnszrti2/wish/1197935953 1. The dilemma is finding a balance of discussing similar issues within the classroom.  Too much, too little, just the right amount?
2. Students are telling us that they are not being heard.  Teachers have a schedule they need to follow and/or don't feel comfortable discussing these topics.
3. I really liked the tips we received the day after.  I feel we need more training to prepare ourselves for these conversations.  We were caught off guard.]]> 2021-02-12 19:13:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cgavin6/edup2t1rdnszrti2/wish/1197935953 1. students want to talk more about current event issues, but teachers may not be comfortable discussing them, or may feel pressure to move on to cover other topics. https://padlet.com/cgavin6/edup2t1rdnszrti2/wish/1197936515 2. Students are telling us that they may need more time to process current events and just discussing them immediately after may not be enough.  They may also want to discuss these issues more with classmates and not just with other adults.
3. Talking to teachers about giving more time for student discussions. Dedicating this time in the schedules.]]> 2021-02-12 19:13:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cgavin6/edup2t1rdnszrti2/wish/1197936515 1. Some students want more space/time to discuss issues with their classroom community. Other students may not need/want this and the classroom teacher may need support to facilitate discussions. https://padlet.com/cgavin6/edup2t1rdnszrti2/wish/1197942198 2.They do not feel seen or heard.  Perhaps they feel that their experience/identity is being diminished.
3. More time could be provided to have these discussions in the classroom. Perhaps have other times when groups of students who are interested could discuss topics in another structured environment.]]> 2021-02-12 19:14:46 UTC https://padlet.com/cgavin6/edup2t1rdnszrti2/wish/1197942198
