I model this and I intervene in groups, but I haven't directly taught these skills. This is an area for improvement for me. ]]> 2023-04-13 16:00:04 UTC https://padlet.com/danica_jensen/SupportRelationalCapacity/wish/2553399636 We play a lot of ice-breakers at the beginning of the year to get to know each other. I also use a variety of Google Forms for important preferences, ex: name, gender/pronoun preference, seating preference, and anything else they feel is important for me to know about them. https://padlet.com/danica_jensen/SupportRelationalCapacity/wish/2553400238 2023-04-13 16:00:35 UTC https://padlet.com/danica_jensen/SupportRelationalCapacity/wish/2553400238 Moving beyond understanding some of the more apparent/evident ways diversity manifests to more nuanced understanding of how culture and student approaches to learning is challenging, but this is where I find some of the powerful ways to meet students where they are as learner and leverage who they are as learners. There's no one way to achieve this, so it can be challenging and a process. https://padlet.com/danica_jensen/SupportRelationalCapacity/wish/2553402256 2023-04-13 16:02:21 UTC https://padlet.com/danica_jensen/SupportRelationalCapacity/wish/2553402256 danica_jensen https://padlet.com/danica_jensen/SupportRelationalCapacity/wish/2553402321 I feel like this ties directly to student led or student driven learning. Hard to have that without the structure put in place for it

]]> 2023-04-13 16:02:24 UTC https://padlet.com/danica_jensen/SupportRelationalCapacity/wish/2553402321 I start the year having them create literacy-driven artwork that reflect their personality; over time, the classroom is basically decorated by my students, so it creates a sense of ownership, community, and belonging. https://padlet.com/danica_jensen/SupportRelationalCapacity/wish/2553402713 2023-04-13 16:02:47 UTC https://padlet.com/danica_jensen/SupportRelationalCapacity/wish/2553402713 Diversity of thought and opinion is as rich as diversity of culture and race. Symbiotic learning through deep questioning and deep listening is so necessary. https://padlet.com/danica_jensen/SupportRelationalCapacity/wish/2553403074 2023-04-13 16:03:06 UTC https://padlet.com/danica_jensen/SupportRelationalCapacity/wish/2553403074 we learn about each other's background and culture, so we all get to learn about new perspectives https://padlet.com/danica_jensen/SupportRelationalCapacity/wish/2553403969 2023-04-13 16:03:52 UTC https://padlet.com/danica_jensen/SupportRelationalCapacity/wish/2553403969 I realize there is opportunity to create more student agency and involvement in this area -- more of it is driven by me as I reflected on this objective. https://padlet.com/danica_jensen/SupportRelationalCapacity/wish/2553404285 2023-04-13 16:04:10 UTC https://padlet.com/danica_jensen/SupportRelationalCapacity/wish/2553404285 One of my google forms ask them to suggest what they think are standards we should all abide by and then we go through the results to together; we come up with our "Classroom Commandments" that everyone signs and is hung visibly, so we can always go back to we if we need to reset. https://padlet.com/danica_jensen/SupportRelationalCapacity/wish/2553406216 2023-04-13 16:05:52 UTC https://padlet.com/danica_jensen/SupportRelationalCapacity/wish/2553406216
