Reminding myself to rephrase in my head and verbally to my peers - strengths vs deficits. Get the bitchy complaint part out so that I can allow myself a reframe. Even write it down and EDIT and CORRECT my own deficit thinking and labels. 

This would help me to remember their strengths over their deficits. Utilize the strengths for growth and planning. ]]> 2018-06-08 18:38:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jjaz2co/qk1pmqlcsvkh/wish/266357879 Focal Student nraynor1 https://padlet.com/jjaz2co/qk1pmqlcsvkh/wish/266358124 With today's workshop I think with my focal student, I would look a little deeper into his strength and not much in his behavior. I could make him a leader in a project, that way he could use  use his skills to help his fellow students. With any luck, by making this student a project lead, he would become more involved in class and maybe a better student in his other classes.

We cant avoid having them, they are a product of our upbringing, our education, and the environment in which we live and teach. So the critical thing is to be aware of them and to seek to mitigate any negative impacts they may have on students. It is critical to be aware of student's backgrounds and family situation. Is the family indifferent or hostile to the school, or are they afraid of/intimidated by the school, or perhaps embarrassed?]]> 2018-06-08 18:41:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jjaz2co/qk1pmqlcsvkh/wish/266358197 Focal Students... epalmer99 https://padlet.com/jjaz2co/qk1pmqlcsvkh/wish/266358213 I must keep in mind to not discount students, their backgrounds, their upbringing, their experiences who are ELL, minorities, from a variety of a family structures, etc. They may have an experience that relates to the content, but are unable to vocalize it. They may have a background in a certain area and unwilling to speak up in a large group, but may communicate with another student or the teacher in one-on-one scenario.]]> 2018-06-08 18:41:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jjaz2co/qk1pmqlcsvkh/wish/266358213 sjosselyn1 https://padlet.com/jjaz2co/qk1pmqlcsvkh/wish/266358216 Almost everything we did is typical of hands on, engagement strategies that help any focal student, no matter what background, become engaged.  The other piece to this is the necessary "other" part of learning, which involves the vocab, information, etc. There are many tactics that help keep ALL students engaged, and knowing that, there is not a "perfect" classroom where every child is engaged all of the time.  With this in mind, I believe the best approach is trying to establish a personal connection with each student.  It is very difficult: I have approximately 150 students; but I make this a priority.  The other component that I do have control of is recognizing my own biases, and addressing them.

I constantly hear about the reasons for the children's negative behavior is due to the parents behavior or lack of engagement. However, it is so important not to make assumptions about our focal students or their families. The language we use shapes our biases, so we need to focus on our student's funds of knowledge and hold high expectations. I need to hold my focal students to their highest potential and understand my own biases. ]]> 2018-06-08 18:48:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jjaz2co/qk1pmqlcsvkh/wish/266358874 terri_lira1 https://padlet.com/jjaz2co/qk1pmqlcsvkh/wish/266358922 Student A has high ability seen through state testing.

As teachers it is easy for us to express student deficits and ways we want to turn those into strengths. But in my eyes these are just ways students are different. It does not mean that it is a bad thing to be ELL or low income but it just means learning is going to look different for them. I want to be sure to encompass those differences and really build on their strengths to help them embrace learning in the best way for them.]]> 2018-06-08 18:49:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jjaz2co/qk1pmqlcsvkh/wish/266358955 Focal Student/Bias april_kelso https://padlet.com/jjaz2co/qk1pmqlcsvkh/wish/266359492 Having preconceptions is a natural occurrence for humans as  we take what we already know to try and understand new situations. Being aware of this nature is important as an educator.  For all students and my focal student included I strive to make a personal relationship with my students in an effort to eliminate bias.

I realized that although the teachers thought they were being positive when describing the student they unintentionally were not. Ultimately, they were actually making assumptions, being biased, and making stereotypes on that child's behaviors and skills.  As a pre-service teacher I learned that it is important for us to watch for our bias and not make assumptions.

It's a good reminder to reflect on your own biases and frustrations that develop through the year. I look back at the beginning of the school year and how I treated my students. I was very open minded, patient, and tried not to jump to conclusions. Perhaps I should make a habit of revisiting some of the papers on Inclusion in STEM in the middle of the year, and in the spring, to remind myself to be culturally aware and to develop relationships with all students. ]]> 2018-06-08 19:29:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jjaz2co/qk1pmqlcsvkh/wish/266362489 Focal Student' Funds of Knowledge katie_barkstrom https://padlet.com/jjaz2co/qk1pmqlcsvkh/wish/266367662 It is imperative that, as educators, we continuously question our own preconceived notions and be more mindful about our own language as we convey ideas and concepts to our students. As a 6th grade teacher, my students sometimes ask me questions that force me to do this, but not as frequently as I'd like. Each and every one of my students brings a unique skillset and set of strengths to the classroom and it is my responsibility to tap into these and provide learning experiences that allow students to expand on these strengths, share them with others, and take the reins on their own learning. Thoughtful planning and execution of lessons, in combination with the formation of strong and meaningful relationships with my students, can make this possible.]]> 2018-06-08 20:25:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jjaz2co/qk1pmqlcsvkh/wish/266367662 ashley_glenn1 https://padlet.com/jjaz2co/qk1pmqlcsvkh/wish/266368139 Today's exercise about the strengths based perspective was really valuable. The type of conversation that we had today is an imperative conversation for all educators.  No matter who you are, we all have biases that need to be brought to our attentions.  Realizing how we are reacting to these biases will allow us to not only become better educators, but better teammates and all around better humans.  I will definitely think about how I am thinking about students and focus on their strengths more.

They both are very caring and helpful. When engaged in the process of learning communities they are always willing to be a good partner.
