I liked this quote because it outlines for us that even if some students share ethnicity, age, or neighborhoods, they all come from diverse backgrounds. As a teacher, you have to study your students. It's important not to assume that you know a student based on their skin color, age, etc. This video connects to the quote because both convey the message that every student brings something new to the classroom and it is the teacher's job to get to know them and decide how to teach them best.]]> 2017-10-03 02:03:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jmyrick2/rb8inbkqixds/wish/193251550 Quote #2: "In each instance, I would see people from diverse backgrounds, with different levels of skill and different personality types, create a space that allowed each participant to fully engage in, and gain something from, the fellowship with peers."

The quote is pulled from the part of chapter 4 that talks about rap cyphers. I chose to display an example of a high school rap cypher through my video. I loved this part of the chapter because the teacher was able to see his students in a whole new light. The way these students acted and participated during the cypher versus how they were in his classroom was like day and night. The teacher saw absolutely nothing that these three kids had in common, until he saw the excitement and engagement in the lunch room. Hearing stories like this is cool because as a future teacher, I am sure there will be times in my career where I feel like my students are too different and that there is no common ground. I will always be vigilant of opportunities to make connections through my students.

In chapter 5, the author shares an experience he had as a black professor at a predominately white Ivy League school. He found that he was able to connect with his students more when he gave them a voice and say on certain topics. After receiving feedback that his methods of instruction could be improved with the help of his pupils, adjustments were made to the structure of his classes. I think it is imperative that teachers allow their students to guide instruction on their own sometimes. Giving students that sense of responsibility will help them retain the information better than if the teacher is the only lecturer. The video I selected corresponds to this quote by giving you a real world example of how students are beginning to guide instruction in schools more and more. There are some very cool programs implemented now-a-days.]]> 2017-10-04 01:19:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jmyrick2/rb8inbkqixds/wish/193683130 Quote #5: "Encourage students to disclose their strengths and weaknesses with regard to the classroom content (test-score averages, understanding of content, and general comfort with the classroom environment)."

I have always thought that a good classroom environment is one that Is open and inviting. In order for my class to feel open, I would make sure my students feel safe to share their fears and anxieties as well as their dreams and aspirations. I would model for my students what hesitations I had looking at the school year and hope that this encourages them to share with me theirs. The only way I will be able to help my students in what they are struggling with is by hearing from them personally and adjust my teaching to support them. I chose this video because it is from the students perspective on asking for help and connecting with their teachers. The quote and video go hand in hand. ]]> 2017-10-04 03:24:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jmyrick2/rb8inbkqixds/wish/193698048 Quote #4: "A young person who is emotionally connected to the classroom as a cosmopolitan space, will not only be willing to learn in that classroom, but committed to the classroom."

I loved this part of chapter 6 where the teacher has a student who places her responsibility as materials conductor as a top priority. It is sometimes hard to understand why this little girl chose not to go to Disney with her dad, but instead stay in town to carry out her duties in the classroom. She felt that it was absolutely vital to be in class so that her task is completed and done well. Subsequently, the order and structure of the class will be uninterrupted. Hearing stories about children who place such high importance on their attendance and roles in the classroom makes me excited to get in a class of my own. The commitment shown by the little girl in the book is a reflection on the cosmopolitan classroom environment. The video is describing the term cosmopolitan and how this concept is displayed in the real world. This links to the quote by further explaining the meaning of cosmopolitanism.]]> 2017-10-04 13:45:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jmyrick2/rb8inbkqixds/wish/193855077
