Critical Consciousness "Gallery Walk" (D) by Jazmen Moore https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D Instructions: Add a post under your content area’s section with a response to ONE of the following prompts: (1) What might engaged pedagogy look like in the context of your ELA, WL, SS, Math, or Science classroom? (Think of examples related to curriculum design, instruction, relationship building, and/or other teacher moves). (2) Make a connection between engaged pedagogy and a central idea from one of the other texts assigned this week (Morrison, Tuck, Asante, and/or the Teaching for Black Lives Gathering). en-us 2020-07-05 22:20:01 UTC 2023-07-26 17:29:58 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4da.png Jazmen moorejaz https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/647854056 Engaged pedagogy in my ELA classroom would look like me actively participating in any writing, sharing, or performance activities I expect for my students to participate in. For example, when asking my students to write "Where I'm From" poems at the start of the school year, I also write my own poem and share it aloud with my students to help model what vulnerability might look like in our classroom and to help build trust. ]]> 2020-07-05 22:21:21 UTC https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/647854056 Dawit- Curriculum & Instruction dendale8 https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/648575790 Co-design group worthy tasks around social justice topics students  choose.

With engaged pedagogy, we aim to be our whole selves, as we hope to have our students be our whole selves as well. In doing so, we unavoidably will show our values, and these values may or may not be ones that align with the school's values. When thinking of the science content area, this is especially important as science has in the past been, by some, considered a value-free area, but oh boy is that far from the truth. Part of engaged pedagogy is asking our students to consider information from the lens as a whole being, not just a robot taking in and internalizing facts and numbers. By doing this, we need to ask students to think critically about the values of those who in science - why are they doing this research, how do their results support a certain agenda, is this ethical? In asking our students to learn science, we are asking them to learn values, values which are inherently tied to humans as "full beings".

I'm doing my best to seek out and read more YA books that model this kind of representation as possible candidates for my future classrooms. In addition, I think it's important to de-center or de-prioritize the written word in favor of other forms of literacy.]]> 2020-07-08 21:04:05 UTC https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/650458758 Eric bombae https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/650459036 Speaking to the readings that center the current classroom space as a place of refuge, healing, and succor- I'm thinking heavily on the values that a sustaining/engaged pedagogy entails. The practice of making space for voices that may not get heard, finding that voice, and learning how to express it are central tenets on the value side of ELA (beyond the technical aspects of writing). Ways to foreground those tenets in conjunction with values of equity, community/coalition building, and validation are the focus for me. Jazmen's strategy of the 'Who Am I?' poem as a class starter is where I'm at. The literacy narrative exercise affected me deeply last quarter and is something I want to encourage in my classes- in a multimedia accessible way. Disruptive/non-canonical texts I choose for class engagement will center around those values I want to highlight/model/practice in the classroom- really keeping that in the front of my mind.

I would be honest about my struggles with patience and concentration in math and try to teach the students that part of the value of learning math is precisely that it teaches you patience and concentration to persevere in a difficult endeavor.

More specifically, how so often research in nearly every field of study tends to place emphasis on what is lacking in a people, practice, society rather than what can be brought to the table. For example, teaching about the "Indian Problem" as Indigenous communities lacking the ability to assimilate to white culture. This ideology of deficit-teaching ignores the very prevalent factors of colonization and capitalism, both systems of white supremacy, being used to weaponize a culture against a sustaining people. ]]> 2020-07-08 21:06:05 UTC https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/650459895 Engaged Pedagogy in Science by Katie https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/650460457 Curriculum design: giving students the opportunity to become experts on a specific topic and then having them teach it to myself and the class. This would shift the power dynamic between the teacher and the student and also give me the opportunity to learn from my students on a topic I won't be familiar with. Also, it invites other perspectives into the classroom that are often left out of "traditional" science classrooms. As a learner, I become very engaged with different science topics, and hopefully my students would see that teachers don't know everything and its okay to be curious and ask questions.]]> 2020-07-08 21:07:02 UTC https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/650460457 Engaged Pedagogy in Science Classrooms -- Annika https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/650460707 I think a critical piece of engaged pedagogy in science is fostering a curiosity in students, which allows them to engage with the material and explore different explanations or solutions based on evidence. We talked a lot in our Science Methods class last quarter about allowing students to change their mind or edit their thinking based on new information presented, as well as encouraging students to come up with different answers to solve the same problem. I think this aligns with the idea of engaged pedagogy, in that students and teacher are learning and exploring data and information together, and discovering how that information fits into a given phenomenon.

Another aspect of engaged pedagogy in science is giving students relatable examples of phenomena and grounding the material in students' real, lived experiences. This shifts science, and the relationship between science and students, from the abstract to the concrete.]]> 2020-07-08 21:07:27 UTC https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/650460707 MJ - Curriculum donaldsonej https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/650460929 something I've been thinking about wrt history is the opportunity to specialize in college, and the very self-driven nature of it... it's nice to show students that world, by saying you're allowed to focus your study of world history or U.S. history on something that is meaningful to you, because that is something I do as a practitioner of history. History of food, history of Asian-American migration, history of technology, history of economic recessions... I'm currently thinking about building tools that would allow me to gauge students' interest in broad specialties like those and then creating inquiry sets around those categories.]]> 2020-07-08 21:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/650460929 I was also there. https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/650460951 Ana Maria Castro Ruiz

The 2nd set being most valuable for teachers and students-the truth. I reflect on my own journey to self-actualize and it's that 2nd set of notes that Asante mentions that guides me to a path of education as freedom. Engaged pedagogy coincides with the 2nd set of notes and when presented to students that are historically discriminated and disenfranchised, we revitalize ourselves as humanity. ]]> 2020-07-08 21:08:37 UTC https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/650461337 Kathryn kembutterworth https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/650461503 I think that for me, throughout high school, I had trouble seeing my teachers as humans. Transparency is really important to me. I want to be transparent with  how lesson plans are made and our thinking around why we're doing what we're doing. I want to give students space to question curriculum and have input. But moreover I want to be transparent with what i'm bringing to the table emotionally every day so that students feel like transparent with their full selves. ]]> 2020-07-08 21:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/650461503 Breanne breannejohnston1 https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/650461769 In social studies (I am specifically thinking of middle school) one way for me to be engaged is focusing/highlighting content that relates to the historic knowledge and legacies that my students and myself hold. That means I will open up my process with being an Irish and Filipina living on unceded Coast Salish land. What does it mean to hold different identities - finding strength in the communal strength and activism towards justice and also the pain that my peoples have participated in. I think place based teaching is a part in engaged pedagogy because it is helpful/needed to ground our whole selves in the place that we share. Specifically thinking about relationship to land. Also connecting this to Eva Tuck's discussion of seeing communities in their wholeness and complexity.]]> 2020-07-08 21:09:23 UTC https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/650461769 1.

How can we create spaces for cultural synthesis and renewal, as opposed to focusing on narratives of destruction and other deficit/settled perspectives? 

I think one method will be in carefully introducing multicultural materials as renewal and celebration, instead of centering the cultural experiences within them in proportion to our (teacher's cultural identity) own.

In my experience, social studies/history classes often devolve into a lectured single view on history. This approach fails to take into account the limits of that single perspective, while also not empowering students to bring their own perspectives into the process. Social studies teachers should acknowledge the limits of their perspectives, while encouraging students to drive the course in the directions that work best for them. ]]> 2020-07-08 21:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/650461939 Cori - Engaged & Asante https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/650462054 I think of engaged pedagogy as explicitly honoring sources of civilization (thinking of teaching like World History) and how continental Europe doesn't own the history of civ. Acknowledging that we need to move away from this damaged victim narrative of Africa and celebrate the leaders that have come from Africa, the Middle East, Asia - not Europe - so that our students get better case studies of leadership that aren't just monarchies and mercenaries taking over everything. So that they rely less on those two sets of notes that don't speak to their truth.

In the context of SS, I can see this being achieved in a few ways. The one I envision is asking students to engage with their community as some sort of historical project, so they can share what they are passionate about or what matters to them, while also hopefully fulfilling some requirements along the way.]]> 2020-07-08 21:12:19 UTC https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/650463647 Engaged Pedagogy in Science-Shawn shawn271 https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/650463709 According to me, engaged pedagogy is the base for building relationship through the subject content with the students. In this case "Science". I believe giving the students the reason as to why they are learning genetics/ organic chemistry/ thermodynamics / resource management is important in their lives and how is it applied in their world. We as science teachers have that ability to provide that platform for the students to express themselves in their learning process (journey). One key point in all of this is REALTIONSHIP BUILDING between the students and also the student-teacher relationship.

Most of math can be discovered, based on a few simple basic principles. What could be done in class is to provide the right questions and scaffolding to that lead the students to 'discover' some of the math findings themselves and in the process take ownership of the learning and be fully engaged.

For example, much of the probability rules can be derived through carefully designed examples and have the students try, find some patterns and try to summarize it. In the process, they will get the intuition of the rules. Keep encouraging them, and hearing them out. Even if it takes longer, the process will be engaged pedagogy and student's self-actualization on 'discovered' the rules would have huge impacts]]> 2020-07-08 21:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/650464104 Michelle https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/650465292 Primary sources that are problematic or perpetuate a single story have disclaimers for being just that and/or they are only used in conjunction with other learning sources that add to a more complete and accurate narrative of the diverse history that has been passed down.

Letting the students making sense of their new knowledge by trial and error.  The teacher become the healer that heal what needs to be heal.  More like a guide through learning.  The teacher is always learning and the students can be teaching each other and reinforcing their understanding.

They may worry about putting their beliefs or biases out their, or even influencing their students. But that is exactly what they ask their students to do. Teachers should be willing to put themselves out their and understand that their students eager to engage with them, not only the material. The reading spoke about expecting our students to take risks, but not doing so ourselves. An engaged pedagogy would be to share the risks of engaging with the material. ]]> 2020-07-08 21:16:40 UTC https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/650466237 BODY-MIND-SPIRIT -iea ieat1 https://padlet.com/moorejaz/MCE2020D/wish/650467468 Engaged pedagogy in social studies looks like modeling what it is to learn in public: particularly through showing vulnerability (sharing anecdotes) and apologizing. I think it’s important to share stories both about present-day situations and about historical connections, experiences and perspectives. I also think about engaged pedagogy as disrupting power dissidence within the classroom, both in re-visioning how teachers and students work together and guide the learning that happens. 

What this looks like specifically in a social studies classroom is about incorporating the understanding of the body and how the body-mind-spirit functions together in how we embody learning simultaneously content and life-specific. I’m thinking of ways to thread in throughout the activities a check-in/reminder about noticing how our body holds emotions, feelings, and historical frames the spaces in which we operate, and how we chose/need/dream to engage within it. I’m also considering the ways in which to do this through centering Eve Tuck’s call for “Suspending Damage”
