Inglewood CP and E Choice Board Reflections by M. Burke https://padlet.com/burkeme1/l32yvmyn8lzs9elc After exploring the NPSD CP and E choice board, answer the following questions: What was one spark you found and what can/will you do with it? How did this spark change, challenge, or confirm your thinking? en-us 2021-04-19 18:19:01 UTC 2021-04-28 19:58:50 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4a1.png SPARK https://padlet.com/burkeme1/l32yvmyn8lzs9elc/wish/1470437109 Divorce, absent Fathers, worry of money, opportunities are all factors that can effect any one of my students.

We cannot ignore race and racism, and it has become the school's job to address the topics. https://padlet.com/burkeme1/l32yvmyn8lzs9elc/wish/1470459478 2021-04-28 18:09:07 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/l32yvmyn8lzs9elc/wish/1470459478 https://padlet.com/burkeme1/l32yvmyn8lzs9elc/wish/1470464370 The video confirmed my thinking that younger children DO understand race and racism when adults discuss it with them in a responsible manner. ]]> 2021-04-28 18:10:04 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/l32yvmyn8lzs9elc/wish/1470464370 Hoffman https://padlet.com/burkeme1/l32yvmyn8lzs9elc/wish/1470471929 As humans, we often get bogged down in our day to day.  We don’t stop to think about the advantages we are given just because we were born into a specific family, live in a specific area, or are a specific race.  This video is an eye opener.  It highlights that the kids in the front, didn’t do anything to earn the advantages, but they are there anyway.  As educators, we need to do more to combat the disparity, even if we think we treat our students with the same respect, giving them the opportunities they need to succeed in our classes.  Being aware is the first step.  Acting is the next.

Within my own classroom, I can incorporate a lot of her guidance in ensuring that I'm providing equitable instruction while also tending to the unique needs of each individual student.

I first hand have been given push back from parents this year just from teaching about facts of MLK Jr. and teaching about race and racism to young children without parent approval makes me anxious. Can we have conversations about this and how to address it or possibly inform our parents?]]> 2021-04-28 18:18:14 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/l32yvmyn8lzs9elc/wish/1470504933 "The Other Wes Moore" https://padlet.com/burkeme1/l32yvmyn8lzs9elc/wish/1470549910 I found a spark in this video when Wes spoke about the fact that "environment matters". Helping a child starts before students get to school. It starts with parents educating their children. Understand that students are not all starting from an even playing field is very important and can be helpful to remember when teaching students from different neighborhood, backgrounds, etc. ]]> 2021-04-28 18:27:35 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/l32yvmyn8lzs9elc/wish/1470549910 PBIS https://padlet.com/burkeme1/l32yvmyn8lzs9elc/wish/1470555343 The video challenged my thinking a little to see how well spoken the children were while having these conversations with their parents.

(and) understand that love and silence are deeply contradictory... love is action."
