What I'm still struggling with is that all of these things have to be broken down into individual Schoology grades. Thoughts on that?]]> 2019-03-06 14:24:58 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_weyandt/lc6pp1xe1b7i/wish/338388064 CulturaI Capitals https://padlet.com/daniel_weyandt/lc6pp1xe1b7i/wish/338388118 I thought this was a really positive way to start our conversation last time to focus on what our students are bringing to the table rather than focusing on language "deficits." The video was a really intriguing way for me to engage with the idea of cultural capitals. ]]> 2019-03-06 14:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_weyandt/lc6pp1xe1b7i/wish/338388118 A different mindset - more open minded to other ways of doing things. jennifer_helgason https://padlet.com/daniel_weyandt/lc6pp1xe1b7i/wish/338388428 2019-03-06 14:25:36 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_weyandt/lc6pp1xe1b7i/wish/338388428 What I've tried in my classroom... https://padlet.com/daniel_weyandt/lc6pp1xe1b7i/wish/338388544 I try to find text that are written by authors of color.
