There are different definitions of what it means to be a perfect English speaker, I am more interested in what they are communicating.

Haley https://padlet.com/mul008945/mx7n2c4mr2lt/wish/452463867 I can use subscriptions for channels that have read aloud books that are culturally diverse and inclusive books.  For example Call Me Tree by Maya Christina Gonzalez https://youtu.be/5c2p5NzkrE0.  Another way to celebrate diversity is by showing videos of different holiday traditions.  These two things alone show that cultural differences are respected and valued in the classroom and thus inspire inclusiveness and acceptance.  Diversity can also be demonstrated by showing videos of girls doing science, and offering other voices in history that are not the dominant culture. In my experience when there is inclusiveness and acceptance in a learning environment, students feel safe and flourish. Videos themselves help with diversity because it is a different way to teach and reaches all students equitably.  They are good for all students. I subscribed to two videos for diversity and pasted the link and video below, though I don’t find them as powerful as Life of Privilege Explained in a $100 Race video.

I have seen first hand in the preschool classroom the power of talking about our racial differences and especially similarities. Themes/studies such as "All About Me," that is often done at the beginning of the school year, opens up the door to discussions for the remainder of the school year.

I could see using some of these videos to raise awareness for my middle-schoolers, and maybe help some of them see that the issues they are facing are not new, nor do they need to face them alone. So often kids think that they are the only one who ever had whatever problem it is they are facing, and knowing they are not the only one can  really help. Sometimes, even in a very diverse school like where I teach, kids feel very alone based upon their ethnicity or background.

While I know this content is out there so to speak, I wasn't willing to dig through a lot of non-educational content to find it. We talk a lot about diversity in the theatre classroom for a variety of reasons. For example, the most recent issue was regarding our musical last year, The Music Man, where a scene depicts very ignorant anglo-saxons sexualizing and imitating Native Americans at their social gathering through costumes, song, and dance. While I understood the many points of view in this scene-- the white people not knowing what they were doing "because of the time period", the students who found this demoralizing to their culture and heritage, to the company that holds the rights to the show wanting to uphold the playwright's intentions, it is certainly a very complex issue. It is also not complex in this day and age. So, when looking up Diversity in Theatre this episode of a group of actors is what I found. I plan to delve into it more on this "break" from school that we have and digest it more and discover ways that I can use it in class. ]]> 2020-03-17 22:16:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mul008945/mx7n2c4mr2lt/wish/463802326 Diversity in Scientists courtney_vanderlinden https://padlet.com/mul008945/mx7n2c4mr2lt/wish/466907221 I do the "What does a scientist look like?" activity with my students in the beginning of the year. They are asked to "draw a scientist." Many draw someone who looks like Einstein, and old white dude. We talk about what makes a scientists, and who scientists are, and why diversity in scientists is important.

He becomes scared that because his child is different, it is not good, and begins to live in isolation. To overcome this issue, he packs rocks in his sons backpack so he can play outside. After an incident on the playground the father blows up at his child "because he wants him to be normal." The father finally realizes that his son just like all have are own unique and special gifts and to accept it. This video showcases how important it is understand that our differences make us each unique and that different is good.]]> 2020-03-20 16:41:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mul008945/mx7n2c4mr2lt/wish/468159324 1619 Podcast elissabrost https://padlet.com/mul008945/mx7n2c4mr2lt/wish/644178939 While taking The New Jim Crow book study I'm trying to educate myself to be more culturally aware.

This is one of my fave videos right now. This is all about challenging the status quo and making the world better.

At the elementary level I find that literature and picture books are a beautiful and effective way to teach about diverse people and cultures. I found that many of the books I’ve loved and read in the past have short films or video books on Youtube. 
This channel (that I’m now subscribed to) Sankofa Read Aloud contains online childrens books that focus primarily on the stories of young African Americans. I also stumbled upon a wonderful videobook Same Difference by Calida Rawles that is a favorite addition to my new Kids: Diversity, Race & Inclusion Playlist.

I decided to explore sites that others were supporting and Suckceed stood out. I like edgy and getting students attention. This is a topic that is coming more and more into the life of all students and as a high school teacher I am becoming more and more aware of students and gender identification. So whether this is for me or I would find an opportunity to show this to students I am not sure. It is new for me and I am looking for ways of approaching the topic

We can also use YouTube to educate and support the families we serve.  A new resource I have come across helps families, caregivers and teachers talk about race and "raise a brave generation."

Each of us are victims to the biases and stereotypes that we have been exposed an subconsciously measure our students by those beliefs that we have heard or from one or two limited interactions with individuals outside of our race. Often a student's performance and end of the year placement is inadvertently predetermined, whether good or bad, by the words or actions of other individuals in past or media exposure. The presence and involvement of more Teachers of Color helps to create a positive learning environment for the students. This includes comfort level, mentorship, and belief and expectations of the student and their families. Knowledge of cultural standards and expectations can often alleviate conflict and negative interaction with students, parents, and teachers.
