DEI 10.23.20 Group 2 by Alexandra Steinhauer https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj Reflection/Discussion Questions en-us 2020-10-22 20:41:09 UTC 2020-10-23 19:33:53 UTC hello@padlet.com We do a lot of reflecting in a diverse set of spaces. https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857109439 2020-10-23 19:22:51 UTC https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857109439 Remote Learning mlong89 https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857111131 there are staff members that i haven't spent any time with :(]]> 2020-10-23 19:23:26 UTC https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857111131 Multiple patterns have been disrupted: behavior system, grading standards, what's allowed for excused absences, metrics for student awards, etc. While this is great, how can we continue to recognize inequitable patterns and move to interrupt them? https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857111156 2020-10-23 19:23:27 UTC https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857111156 mnorris77 https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857111256 The hiring practices seem more inclusive than many places I've worked at. ]]> 2020-10-23 19:23:29 UTC https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857111256 Significantly more female staff members than male. For example, G5 team doesn't have a single male advisor. There are also more white staff members than BIPOC kdeleon17 https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857111528 2020-10-23 19:23:35 UTC https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857111528 We come together weekly to have real world discussions. This strengthens our relationships, but also makes me feel valued as a person. I don't know of many schools that do community building like we do. https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857112104 2020-10-23 19:23:47 UTC https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857112104 https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857112597 Having anti-racist commitments and adding our own commitments to them and revisiting them throughout the semester.]]> 2020-10-23 19:23:57 UTC https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857112597 We are reunited to be there for your students and families but not as a staff https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857113309 2020-10-23 19:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857113309 I truly see staff thinking about and acting upon their anti-racist commitments by identifying elements of white supremacy culture and thinking critically about whether or not that element (ex. urgency) should be used or not (I'm having a hard time explaining what I mean!) https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857113353 2020-10-23 19:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857113353 https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857115052 Wondering if talking about these commitments with students and having discussion would be helpful- so students know how to hold their teachers accountable? And how to have a conversation with their teacher if they believe they aren't upholding anti-racist commitments]]> 2020-10-23 19:24:50 UTC https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857115052 Related to academic program via staff members in front of students: disproportionate amount of female/non-BIPOC staff, particularly in core content roles. We could strive to be more transparent in hiring process/updates to let the wider staff know progress. https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857116319 2020-10-23 19:25:18 UTC https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857116319 https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857118377 Grading and the focus on the process NOT THE PRODUCT

I think that I and others still have a ways to go in figuring out how to accommodate material for emerging bilinguals and students on IEPs, especially in this remote structure. How can we close learning gaps? The school might want to set reminders for teachers to compare trends in grades among their student populations. mnorris77 https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857120491 2020-10-23 19:26:50 UTC https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857120491 Communal discussions and reflections. Also, there has been a recent trend away from work/production to relationships. I also think the POI fund is a nice recognition of the attributes many staff bring that often go underappreciated. https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857121758 2020-10-23 19:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857121758 Now that we are remote, it is difficult to be present in other classrooms. It is hard to hear student voice in other classes and collaborate with different subjects. https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857121957 2020-10-23 19:27:23 UTC https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857121957 I have been impressed so far by Excel staff's efforts to take kids perspectives into account when creating lesson plans etc. (ex. topics used in math word problems, books chosen for ELA) https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857122251 2020-10-23 19:27:30 UTC https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857122251 Teachers taking time to be thoughtful in language choice (i.e. "Citizenship" Award) mlong89 https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857122459 2020-10-23 19:27:34 UTC https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857122459 kdeleon17 https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857123759 lots of opportunities to collaborate w/ team members (GLT meetings, content/ELL/LST meetings)]]> 2020-10-23 19:28:00 UTC https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857123759 I think veteran staff are holding themselves to a previous "in person bar" that doesn't work well for remote learning. The impact is stress and anxiety, which then impacts relationships between colleagues and students, making remote learning even more challenging. https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857127474 2020-10-23 19:29:21 UTC https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857127474 https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857128257 Excel teachers strive to develop a community and don't just see the job as a 9-5 but are truly passionate about educating students and creating relationships]]> 2020-10-23 19:29:37 UTC https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857128257 Is there a way/place/time for students to report issues they have faced? (and a way/place/time that is accessible for all students to communicate the issue) https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857129443 2020-10-23 19:30:03 UTC https://padlet.com/asteinhauer2/od3dg1d02pvrsauj/wish/857129443
