Establishing classroom rules & essential agreements with students, holding Ss accountable throughout the year to what they agreed upon.

Games

2023-06-27 14:58:12 UTC

Different types of games that allow students to relate and communicate with each other.

Conversation Uno- each Uno card is a different discussion prompt. You can give a student three skip cards just in case they are uncomfortable sharing a certain prompt.

Conversation cube- different prompts on each side of the cube.

Get to know you scavenger hunt- find classmates that have similarities or differences. The scavenger card can have visuals and students can help each other read the prompts as well.

5 things in common gallery walk- students will walk the room to find commonalities/differences they have with other students. Can help students find things are UNIQUE to them!

Relationships

2023-06-27 15:03:35 UTC

Home school visits were a practice in Kristin's school- every student in her school and their family is visited at home. Checking with students and getting to know their background if they are coming into the school. Connecting with students when possible and getting to know their names. Having a greeting line coming into school at the beginning of the day with all staff members acknowledging students. Extracurricular groups (affinity groups), engaging in fun activities, being present in classrooms.

Having students find commonalities with partners, groups,etc.

2023-06-27 15:03:58 UTC

Incorporating movement & sound, e.g. have students trace the map of Europe together in the air with sound effects for each one.

Conversation Uno

Discography Activity:
Students pick three songs that are important to them and submit directly to the teacher:

A guilty pleasure song
A song that reminds you of someone dead or alive
A go-to song; happy or sad

Teacher uses the songs to create a classroom discography (playlist) to be used for the year.

Silver Linings

2023-11-06 14:08:44 UTC

As educators, we need to start looking at neurodiverse learners as children who think differently, rather than children who have 'something wrong with them'. Parents also need to breakdown their own personal fears of what it means to have a neurodiverse child. We need to look for silver linings when we work with children who learn or behave differently than others. In an ASD child, the silver lining is often that we really know what they are thinking - because they tell us - rather than trying to guess what a child might be feeling.

2023-11-06 14:08:44 UTC

I chose this slide because I feel it's a great example of reframing an issue and it also speaks to the learner attribute of Open-mindedness. Not only does it get us to consider an alternate view it also informs us about another culture and its value system.

Equity and inclusion

2023-11-06 14:08:47 UTC

Equity is about providing students with what they need to be successful. Inclusion is the process of ensuring all learners have a shared experience of engagement and belonging.

Equity and Inclusion

2023-11-06 14:09:02 UTC

I chose this picture as I believe as educators, we can always help ensure each student is catered for in the classroom. Diversity and Inclusion means understanding individual needs and thinking how we can change the way we present things to the students and allow everyone to access the learning. We shouldn't see to change the students, we need to change our thinking and processes.

Broken?

2023-11-06 14:09:15 UTC

This photo incorporates equity and inclusion as the unique cracks are incorporated, included, and supported by the rest of the object. The cracks were not seen as a barrier but instead valued and empowered.

2023-11-06 14:09:40 UTC

Students that struggle academically often feel broken or they are flawed in some way. It's important to help them see that they are not, they too can be mended and shine, that this "flaw" is not who they are but something they will/have embraced and grow.

I always tell my students that I too had an IEP and used it through college. I did not let my struggles define me. I have my masters degree and believe they can be whatever they wish to be. What is important is they are happy with their choices and know they are amazing.

2023-11-06 14:14:17 UTC

2023-11-06 14:15:04 UTC

I chose this because I feel it's a great example of reframing a concept. It's also a great example of open-mindedness because it gives us the perspective of another culture and its values.
