I will participate in teacher training on implicit bias and biases. I will communication with families on a weekly basis about children's development and observations. I will stay connected to the community and reach out for support and guidance when needed most.]]> 2021-05-10 14:48:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sallyweinstein16/n82h7jo8hgbf2oc3/wish/1509446830 I will make sure that children feel valued, heard, and supported in their own activism. When children show interest in being advocates in our community, I will ensure that they have the necessary resources and materials to implement their ideas and, in turn, lead to change. https://padlet.com/sallyweinstein16/n82h7jo8hgbf2oc3/wish/1509446945 2021-05-10 14:48:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sallyweinstein16/n82h7jo8hgbf2oc3/wish/1509446945 In my classroom I want to work towards creating an environment where children feel welcomed and supported in their activism, by working with other settings like museums as well as other people. Additionally, I want to be able to have professional development where I can continue to learn more strategies to help support child's advocacy. https://padlet.com/sallyweinstein16/n82h7jo8hgbf2oc3/wish/1509446985 2021-05-10 14:48:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sallyweinstein16/n82h7jo8hgbf2oc3/wish/1509446985 https://padlet.com/sallyweinstein16/n82h7jo8hgbf2oc3/wish/1509447561 Planning projects in the curriculum that have an impact that children can see and following their lead in what they are inspired to advocate for]]> 2021-05-10 14:48:34 UTC https://padlet.com/sallyweinstein16/n82h7jo8hgbf2oc3/wish/1509447561 One way I will instill values of student activism is to have a social justice approach when reading specific children's books. I will ask leading/open ended questions about things that might not have been explicitly discussed in the book to expose my students to deeper meanings that are within children's books. Overall, this will instill a sense of fairness and justice within the children. https://padlet.com/sallyweinstein16/n82h7jo8hgbf2oc3/wish/1509447721 2021-05-10 14:48:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sallyweinstein16/n82h7jo8hgbf2oc3/wish/1509447721 In my classroom I will make children feel confident in who they are as learners as well as encouraging them to self-advocate in and out of the classroom. By reading books to the class such as the ones we have mentioned, children are better able to grasp the concept of advocacy and will be eager to work towards making a change in the world themselves. https://padlet.com/sallyweinstein16/n82h7jo8hgbf2oc3/wish/1509448087 2021-05-10 14:48:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sallyweinstein16/n82h7jo8hgbf2oc3/wish/1509448087 making sure I am including the readings and encouraging the kids to feel welcome to have big discussions and talk about subjects that are difficult or not often talked about outside of the classroom. I would want my students to know their opinions matter and that they are important in creating change, so I would try to include current examples of activism in our class. https://padlet.com/sallyweinstein16/n82h7jo8hgbf2oc3/wish/1509448099 2021-05-10 14:48:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sallyweinstein16/n82h7jo8hgbf2oc3/wish/1509448099 in my classroom https://padlet.com/sallyweinstein16/n82h7jo8hgbf2oc3/wish/1509448423 I will foster an environment that will uplift conversations for children to participate in pertaining to advocacy and activism but normalizing the topic, making it less daunting ]]> 2021-05-10 14:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sallyweinstein16/n82h7jo8hgbf2oc3/wish/1509448423 https://padlet.com/sallyweinstein16/n82h7jo8hgbf2oc3/wish/1509448537 My classroom will be structured with equity through advocacy. That might be activities centered around societal conflict, posters for Earth Week, lesson plans surrounding current events etc. I also think it's important to include families in the advocacy, so encouraging participation from home or keeping them informed with the material we cover!]]> 2021-05-10 14:48:46 UTC https://padlet.com/sallyweinstein16/n82h7jo8hgbf2oc3/wish/1509448537 In my classroom I will provide a variety of books that can create conversations of advocacy and activism https://padlet.com/sallyweinstein16/n82h7jo8hgbf2oc3/wish/1509448643 2021-05-10 14:48:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sallyweinstein16/n82h7jo8hgbf2oc3/wish/1509448643 https://padlet.com/sallyweinstein16/n82h7jo8hgbf2oc3/wish/1509449902 I plan on providing my students with books, movies, and activities that will help them feel comfortable in being an advocate.
