This first requires inquiry. Additionally, it requires the necessary time for relationship and trust building. Class size plays a huge role here. Willingness as educators (everyone working in education) to customize and the space to develop educational experiences that allow students to be who they are and to share their unique gifts in their own voice and symbolism has to be the goal if we are to subvert the dominant paradigm. I am not advocating for anarchy and self absorption. I do advocate for inclusion of all stakeholders hands in the process of educating from the establishment of norms to the assessment of success. ]]> 2021-03-03 16:55:18 UTC https://padlet.com/fperalta7/pomwbihc0hc950wm/wish/1264806717 If I look closely, I can reflect and see that these characteristics are on display in my thinking, although unintentionally. 1.

As an institution our emphasis is often on measurable things like test scores, and we often value things like supposed college readiness over other things because our thinking comes from a certain place of privilege. We have many students who are wonderful people and have wonderful skills that as an institution we are blind to. Students may possess certain types of intelligence that aren't valued in our institution. This happens with students who are non-white, low-income, neuro-atypical, LGBTQ+, etc. We get this laser focus on something that may not be that important for that student - e.g. "This student's math scores are low."

Perhaps their empathy will grow. Perhaps their understanding will deepen. Perhaps then their practices will become more inclusive, more transparent, more collaborative, more complex and resilient. Leaders must get comfortable with being uncomfortable and through that ensure that the outcomes support all students and staff.

It's a reminder that for a just society, the power has to be in the hands of The workers.

Or do 'we know best'? Does gathering input without really being transparent about the input and how it is considered help? It's paternalistic, even if the decisions made further the goal of equity. Transparency and making a decision that goes against the will of the constituents can still be important if equity can be shared and explained and if trust exists. This is where we consistently drop the ball in NKSD and in education as a whole. We simply 'know best'.]]> 2021-03-03 17:02:09 UTC https://padlet.com/fperalta7/pomwbihc0hc950wm/wish/1264848111 Quantity over Quality baujla https://padlet.com/fperalta7/pomwbihc0hc950wm/wish/1264850387 This is very clear in our daily teaching.

It continually protects educators who have proven that their ideologies, and perspectives are close minded, and refuse to support students of color.
How does this show up in your areas or within myself?
I have seen it within school districts I have been in during my schooling, and continues as we try to address the issue. Reflect with someone in your area or yourself.
Reflection with coworkers, there is a need for change, and it will only happen when everyone chooses to sit back and resonate with materials like the ones presented today.

Yep, been complaining for years about all the data we have to measure. I'd be happy to write a sentence or two about the individual progress I see students making or not every month in lieu of grades. Portfolios can be used. How do you measure happiness of doing a creative job? I have measurements/rubrics I use, but in reality.... Creative Flair and student "voice" -the creative process are things that are developed outside of grades. Funny, I had to sign in to be able to write, I find that doesn't seem very anonymous.

My antidote is to know when to go slow and stop assigning so many assignments. But, then...how do I answer to parents that tell me I'm not doing enough to challenge their child? Our current school system has too many students to teacher/counselor/librarian/para educators/office help ratio. I wonder if this new remote come back to school A B schedules might be something to consider as a plan for always...of course, this is said without experiencing it yet...so I might back peddle on this particular statement.

It's hard to move past it or even acknowledge when I'm feeling it (craving the individual achievement and acknowledgement), but I do feel like there is some movement (albeit small) into a community minded education.

This invalidated feelings and thoughts of others. While I don't agree with the opinions, I must listen and learn for others. My world view is not the same as all of my NKSD colleagues. You provided evidence that these characteristics show up in education! We must accept that there are opposing views. LISTEN.

I feel like we have to have that in special education, because we are accountable to our students and their learning, but we shouldn't let the entire focus be on measurable progress. Students make progress in SO many ways, and we should remember to celebrate and foster those successes just as much as the stuff we can measure.
I responded to the idea that we need to let go of the sense that there is only one right way to do things, especially in a school setting.

We want students (and adults) to be more well rounded individuals with a sense of connection to community and place, but we are in our schools and workplaces five days a week (pre-Covid). By the time the weekend hits, many are exhausted and need to catch up on home life chores, etc. The following week, the treadmill starts again. If we want to help students become well rounded citizens, we need to get them out into the world and make connections with the community. There is a sense that there is never enough time to do so, but we now have an opportunity to reevaluate our priorities. Is it best for all students to attend class inside a school building five days a week? What about developing hybrid programs that spend part of the time in the classroom and part of the time involved in supervised activities in nature, working with the tribes, exploring income inequality by walking the streets of Seattle?
