"Colonial violence" How do we help students have enough space for their identities in our colonial institutions? Is this even possible given how rigid and deeply colonial they are? It's hard for me to see it happen within the education system as it stands, but is it possible to melt it down enough to create possibilities for it? bobbismith1 https://padlet.com/ninapaklui/gfhg4l5822tdp2wn/wish/2527560352 2023-03-22 17:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ninapaklui/gfhg4l5822tdp2wn/wish/2527560352 Rethinking Monolingual Instructional Strategies in Multilingual Classrooms https://padlet.com/ninapaklui/gfhg4l5822tdp2wn/wish/2527561043 https://journals.lib.unb.ca/index.php/CJAL/article/view/19743]]> 2023-03-22 17:36:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ninapaklui/gfhg4l5822tdp2wn/wish/2527561043 every student sees themselves represented and celebrated in the classroom https://padlet.com/ninapaklui/gfhg4l5822tdp2wn/wish/2527561446 2023-03-22 17:37:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ninapaklui/gfhg4l5822tdp2wn/wish/2527561446 "Learning about the original peoples, cultures and names of every place we go..." leahtaylor333 https://padlet.com/ninapaklui/gfhg4l5822tdp2wn/wish/2527561515 2023-03-22 17:37:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ninapaklui/gfhg4l5822tdp2wn/wish/2527561515 acknowledge space you are learning in and keeping an open mind https://padlet.com/ninapaklui/gfhg4l5822tdp2wn/wish/2527562723 2023-03-22 17:38:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ninapaklui/gfhg4l5822tdp2wn/wish/2527562723 "Students become storytellers of their own learning" - from Josh leahtaylor333 https://padlet.com/ninapaklui/gfhg4l5822tdp2wn/wish/2527562842 2023-03-22 17:38:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ninapaklui/gfhg4l5822tdp2wn/wish/2527562842 https://padlet.com/ninapaklui/gfhg4l5822tdp2wn/wish/2527563484 How do we rebuild relationships with each other, to the land, to the spirits, and to educational institutions?

• learn who each person is in our classes and understand how their diverse lived experiences will influence their learning

• make sure each learner is celebrated – sees themselves and hears their own and other languages in our classrooms and learning environments

• believe ALL can learn at high levels

• realize WE have a journey to take (to unlearn and learn) and the ability it takes to transform

• know learning is OUR responsibility.

• apply our ability to our responsibility & collaboratively (with students, families and community) to design the BEST possible experiences for learners in our care.

• use collaboratively designed, engaging and supportive assessment practices to assist learning and to inform our teaching practice. To support students in becoming the storytellers of their own learning

• embrace mistakes and use them as learning experiences

I think we can deeply value diversity so that we build learning activities with no right or wrong answers, but that deepen our ability to interpret multiple perspectives.
