Much (if not all) of what I teach is based on my background experiences. Sometimes I have to stop and think about how my experiences are different than EVERY SINGLE STUDENT that I teach. I often times need to change what/how I'm teaching something in order for it to reach more people.]]> 2018-02-07 21:24:57 UTC https://padlet.com/krista_jones/jaj8bpleb2o8/wish/229340696 https://padlet.com/krista_jones/jaj8bpleb2o8/wish/229340720 Because of my privileged up bringing I am naive to my students realities.  I am wanting to provide  as many academic opportunities  as possible but I have to focus on their basic social emotional needs first.  Then I can focus on the academics.

It is kind of cool when other students explain or share whatever to clarify. ]]> 2018-02-07 21:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/krista_jones/jaj8bpleb2o8/wish/229340898 https://padlet.com/krista_jones/jaj8bpleb2o8/wish/229340900 I find myself expecting my students to have the natural motivation to excel academically. Since I grew up in a situation where higher-level education is expected, I sometimes have trouble understanding the many responsibilities of my students that come from very different backgrounds than I did. ]]> 2018-02-07 21:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/krista_jones/jaj8bpleb2o8/wish/229340900 https://padlet.com/krista_jones/jaj8bpleb2o8/wish/229340937 I want my students to have the opportunity to attend college whether they believe they will or not.

My self esteem was constantly impacted by not having the cool clothes . This reminder helps me to understand that students may have consistent thoughts of low self-worth if they have less. https://padlet.com/krista_jones/jaj8bpleb2o8/wish/229342237 2018-02-07 21:29:44 UTC https://padlet.com/krista_jones/jaj8bpleb2o8/wish/229342237
