He was very open and honest with the students which can be very scary. It takes a lot to recognize where you are in the hierarchy of society. ]]> 2021-04-06 19:31:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mvilleg5/frwotxz4uxg13bgn/wish/1388821519 https://padlet.com/mvilleg5/frwotxz4uxg13bgn/wish/1388821533 Why: My students are some of the most creative, athletic, smart, resilient and courageous people I know, but I am scared no one will ever see it because they do not have the same opportunities as many others. I want them to know how incredible they are and how much potential they have. Social justice can help them see themselves through our eyes- eyes full of love and support that they may not have at home. ]]> 2021-04-06 19:31:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mvilleg5/frwotxz4uxg13bgn/wish/1388821533 https://padlet.com/mvilleg5/frwotxz4uxg13bgn/wish/1388821644 My why is being able to reach every student and ensure they feel comfortable being their own individual. My why is being able to ensure that these injustices and stereotypes don't make students feel any less of who they are. I want students to be open minded and aware while also taking others into consideration.]]> 2021-04-06 19:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mvilleg5/frwotxz4uxg13bgn/wish/1388821644 jrudder https://padlet.com/mvilleg5/frwotxz4uxg13bgn/wish/1388821882 This is an important part of engaging with students in the classroom to create a safe space for discussions around what is currently happening in the world, nation, society or even neighborhood. It allows students the opportunity to be vulnerable and also the teacher the opportunity to engage with students by sharing context of their life experiences.

It is beneficial for society to heal and thrive, if scholars are taught to become thinkers willing to challenge wrong doings and create change we will have a better society.]]> 2021-04-06 19:31:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mvilleg5/frwotxz4uxg13bgn/wish/1388821899 alollo2 https://padlet.com/mvilleg5/frwotxz4uxg13bgn/wish/1388821921 My why: We need to have honest and open conversations so students feel welcomed and safe (safe to have those uncomfortable conversations that they may not have a chance to do at home). This will give students the chance to learn from each other and for the teacher to learn from them!]]> 2021-04-06 19:31:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mvilleg5/frwotxz4uxg13bgn/wish/1388821921 https://padlet.com/mvilleg5/frwotxz4uxg13bgn/wish/1388821942 My why is to support my students the best that I can so they can be comfortable enough to be able to focus and learn. I want my students to be treated the way I would want my own son to be treated. I want them to thrive and learn the way he is thriving and learning and being supported educationally, emotionally and socially.

Showing up is just not enough! ]]> 2021-04-06 19:31:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mvilleg5/frwotxz4uxg13bgn/wish/1388822458 https://padlet.com/mvilleg5/frwotxz4uxg13bgn/wish/1388825457 My why really stems from a belief that all students matter. They should be able to have genuine discussions and share their experiences and truth. I myself as a first generation Latina college graduate, its important that kids see themselves as valuable. ]]> 2021-04-06 19:32:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mvilleg5/frwotxz4uxg13bgn/wish/1388825457 https://padlet.com/mvilleg5/frwotxz4uxg13bgn/wish/1388828048 Why: to support my students to make sure that they feel comfortable and be proud of who they are in order to succeed in their lives]]> 2021-04-06 19:33:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mvilleg5/frwotxz4uxg13bgn/wish/1388828048 siobhankelly212 https://padlet.com/mvilleg5/frwotxz4uxg13bgn/wish/1388831356 I connect with the teacher because I personally feel these conversations are hard to have with my kids because they are tough topics to discuss due to our clear different races and cultures. I find myself tiptoeing around certain topics because I don’t want to say the wrong thing and make my kids feel a divide between us because of how I phrased a specific statement. So the WHY for me is to become better at having courageous conversations.
