Do you know who you are? Do you know you can be who you want to be? These questions are directed to young black boys and girls to remind them that they can be and do amazing things in life. They are reminded to reach for the stars and achieve everything possible in their lives 2. Black boys and girls are being addressed. 3. Asking students what they want to be when they grow up and how they will do it. A lesson on careers and community helpers to set an example 4. Share data through story , numbers, representation, questioning. 5. This data can open eyes. It can show those who do not believe in black children and think we are all stereotypes that we are more than that. We can dream big and accomplish bigger things. This encourages students to discuss and explore themselves and address relevant issues in their communities. This can help transform students ways of thinking and not getting down on themselves or thinking less of themselves. this should be a daily mantra for black students, it needs to be installed in their heads that they should never let anyone think less of them because they are a beautiful black child who can achieve impeccable things.]]> 2021-06-23 22:35:14 UTC https://padlet.com/SJCCook/w5mqc2r9b63kwli7/wish/1622424846 https://padlet.com/SJCCook/w5mqc2r9b63kwli7/wish/1623967022 1. The poem addresses the question of identity, specifically in the context of what it means to be a black child and more importantly- how black children can be and do whatever they set their mind to. 
2. This piece is about the black children in America and Pe'Tehn's connection to it.  
3. Collecting information and lived experiences of our black & brown students-- understanding what they want to do in the future and encouraging it. Recognizing their potential and empowering our students to define their own narrative.
4. This data is communicated through a poem and the gestures that Pe'tehn makes as she recites-- a medium in which people who understand the language can learn more about the black child experience and challenging the stereotypical perspective.
5. The data talks about how black children are more than their stereotype, more than the self-fulfilling prophecy that society has implicated in them. Questioning about their identity is meant to explore how much potential our black & brown students have-- and how necessary it is to empower and encourage our students to think that they can be and do anything.
6. In terms of policies-- the first that comes to mind is Affirmative Action. While it is designed to push for more diversity & inclusion -- people have mixed opinions. I would have to learn more about its impact on higher education, but I raise it as an attempt at change.]]> 2021-06-24 17:14:43 UTC https://padlet.com/SJCCook/w5mqc2r9b63kwli7/wish/1623967022 https://padlet.com/SJCCook/w5mqc2r9b63kwli7/wish/1625249258 1. Questions addressed:
Do you know who you are? Who you really are?
Do you know you can be what you want to be?
Do you know where you are going, where you are really going?
Do you know you can learn what you want to learn?
Do you know you are strong? Do you know you can do what you want to do?
2. The data being analayzed is the mindset and potential of black children and how they can be/learn/accomplish their dreams. This is significant because the talent and academic growth of the 3 year-old shows that she is on the path to being and accomplishing her dreams. The words of the poem are made more powerful by her confidence in herself. 
3. Perhaps data that surveys black children who  had a specific career goal and then data measuring that goal, as compared to black students who did not have a specific goal in mind or did not think they could accomplish their goal. Maybe school surveys to emasure student mindsets and self-esteem. 
4. The data is being communication through a video and specifically, a young black student reciting a speech that she memorized. The data could also be communicated through school surveys, a group of students doing a presentation that addresses how black children can be/learn/accomplish their dreams. 
5. The data means that black children, like all children, are not just a demographic. They are talented young individuals capable of amazing things. This data can support change, in the classroom and outside the classroom, to show how one 3-year-old has the confidence to not only recite a speech to America, but recite a speech that is inspiring to children across the world to believe in themselves. 
6. Policies surrouding access to recources and school funding could support this piece. These resources could help support children-all children- achieve their goals and ensure they are learning in a clean and safe space with the tools they need for success. Data and statistics, are used as a justification for where funding is allocated and can directly impact the students living in those areas. Every child is more than a number, more than a statistic, yet the data determines if resources are provided. Thus, the data/statistics could impact if a child can be, learn, grow, whatever they choose.

The data is not as concrete but more so inferred based on what we know Black children are capable of: being what they want to be, learning, going places, and potentially changing the fabric of our nation. Data could be collected using varied groups; for example collecting data from groups of Black children whose lived experiences are validated; whose dreams are supported and encouraged; who are surrounded by a community of people who uplift and promote their success. Alternately, data can be collected from Black children who are not exposed to this type of love and care; who have not had the opportunity to recognize their potential; who are uninterested and disengaged; those who do not have the support of an uplifting community. This type of data collection can be used to answer the questions this piece is addressing by comparing the success and overall well-being rates of Black children who are loved, supported, and made aware of their power and potential with those who are not. This data is being communicated via poem/spoken word. Some other ways to communicate data are through social media, music, commercials, and public bulletin boards. The data being delivered by a 3-year old Black child is a testament of itself--Black children are able and capable if given the space and opportunity to try. Because young Black children are often seen as incapable, less than, lazy, and undetermined this data can be used to shift the narrative and critical consciousness of our country and world. Black children consistently and holistically seen as powerful human beings capable of change will contribute to the liberation of the Black race which will inevitably contribute to the liberation of our society at large. The greatest disruption of our time will be the day that racism succumbs to peace, truth, and love. ]]> 2021-06-27 17:16:32 UTC https://padlet.com/SJCCook/w5mqc2r9b63kwli7/wish/1627143576 https://padlet.com/SJCCook/w5mqc2r9b63kwli7/wish/1627280353 1. At the beginning of this poem, the little girl addresses the audience by saying "Hey Black child, do you know who you are? Do you know you can be what you want to be?" The theme of the poem is reminding Black children to follow their dreams and that the sky is the limit.

2. The audience being addressed in this poem is Black students (young children). 

3. Reading the other comments in this thread, I agree with Alliyah's comment where she mentions she may ask students "what do you want to be when you grow up?" I love asking this question in my class because it gives me insight into the interests my students have. It also helps us work towards a goal and helps me plan culturally relevant assignments as well that tailor to students' career interests. I also believe it is important to encourage students to do their very best, and that they can be anything they want to be.

4. Other ways you can share this data is by collecting evidence from students in your class and noticing trends. Students can then present their findings to the class or it can be a whole group instruction.

5. The data collected can support change because it crushes misconceptions and stereotypes people may have about Black and Brown children. No matter a student's background regarding their race, gender, social class, religion, etc, children should be able to reach their limitless potential. 

(Didn't get to question #6! I ran out of time!)]]> 2021-06-27 21:47:58 UTC https://padlet.com/SJCCook/w5mqc2r9b63kwli7/wish/1627280353 https://padlet.com/SJCCook/w5mqc2r9b63kwli7/wish/1627286680

What question(s) is being addressed in this piece?

• Do you know who you are? Do you know you can be what you want to be if you try? Do you know where you are going? Do you know that you can learn what you want to learn if you try to learn? Do you know that you are strong and can do what you want to do if you try?

What data is utilized in this piece? Who or what is the data about? Why?

• The data utilized in this piece pertains to the lived experiences of Black children.

How could you collect relevant data to answer the questions this piece is addressing?

• In order to collect data that is relevant to this piece, we could be intentional about learning more about our students’, particularly Black students’ experiences, what their strengths, dreams, and aspirations are

How is the data being communicated? What are other ways to share the data?

• This data is being communicated in the form of a poem in order to inspire Black children to know that they can achieve anything that they put their minds to. This could also be shared in the form of a story or using real life experiences of an accomplished Black person

What does the data mean? How can/could the data be used to support change? Critical consciousness? Anti-racism? Disruption? Liberation?

• This data means nothing is beyond the reach of Black students, given that they do their part. This could be used to support change by providing Black students with teachers who really care for them, have their best interests at heart, and would do all they can to encourage them to be the best version of themselves that they can be

What policies and policy decisions are connected to this piece? How are data, measurement, and statistics used to make those policies?

• Education policies, such as funding to certain communities and for certain things, as well as community policies that affect a child and their family’s wellbeing are connected to this piece. Data, measurement, and statistics are used to make those policies that typically cater to more White, affluent communities, neglecting poorer Black and Brown communities.

Young black children are being made to believe that they can not reach further in their education and careers. The data utilized for this piece seems to be based upon the racial disparities that lie between Black students and education. The data is about where Black children are ending up when they leave school, because of what systems and communities have projected onto them.I would collect data to prove to students that they are more than capable of achievement by going to different universities, higher offices,and places outside of their community to show them how many people just like them knew they could excel while also encouraging that they can bring their achievement back to their communities. This data is not being communicated well, especially in lower income communities where the simple lack of resources pull students away from the idea of pushing for more.Simply put, the data shows us that there is a need for more Black people in places of power, or even in their classrooms, to encourage students to look outside of what they have been told and walk past the limitations. This data would support change in a very minor way by showing us numbers, but it could serve as a nudge for implementing anti-racist programs in schools and disrupt the systemic backwardness.As it is known that many lower income communities lack the resources necessary to have effective learning, the policies this poem would clearly address are education policies. Policies that require schools to have an adequate amount of resources, more funding, changing standards that do not nullify who a black student is etc. Data that comes from their scores can be used as well as where students are going after high school for example.]]> 2021-06-28 00:07:00 UTC https://padlet.com/SJCCook/w5mqc2r9b63kwli7/wish/1627358208 https://padlet.com/SJCCook/w5mqc2r9b63kwli7/wish/1628285669 The poem asks questions about the Black child’s self-concept and knowledge of their abilities in the face of systemic racism. The piece is addressed to Black children, from a Black child, and provides inspiration to children who may doubt themselves. The poem states that Black children can be and do anything. One way to collect data on this to interview Black students before and after a school year. I also agree with Alliyah on the use of community helper lessons. During the school year, I noticed that children were excited about these lessons and being able to share their ambitions for the future. The data is presented as a poem that challenges assertions about Black children’s’ capabilities. This poem can be used as an inspirational morning message or SEL lesson. ]]> 2021-06-28 12:21:32 UTC https://padlet.com/SJCCook/w5mqc2r9b63kwli7/wish/1628285669 https://padlet.com/SJCCook/w5mqc2r9b63kwli7/wish/1628674359 The questions addressed in this piece are thought-provoking. Though they are rhetorical, they cause Blacks students to question the way they are viewed while simultaneously urging them to see their own importance for themselves. There is no physical data intended to be collected from this piece. I believe it is more sacred than that and further meant to be immeasurable. If i were to collect data on the questions being collected, I would create an exit ticket following a read-aloud. With the collected data, posters can be made with student responses and put around the school. ]]> 2021-06-28 16:49:04 UTC https://padlet.com/SJCCook/w5mqc2r9b63kwli7/wish/1628674359 https://padlet.com/SJCCook/w5mqc2r9b63kwli7/wish/1628815396 1. The poem addresses the question of self identity and purpose. She is stating that a black child has the capability to learn, be who they want to be, and have abilities within themselves already. 
2. The data in this piece is about black children and getting them to change their negative perceptions society has placed on them. Pe'Tehn is saying black children can be what they want to be, learn and grow to accomplish their desires.
3. I could collect information on students careers choices and experiences at a young age, if they are learning the information needed to see those dreams all the way through as they get older. Also I could collect data on if students know and believe in the capabilities they have inside them already.
4. The data is being communicated through a poem that was read by a young child. As she recites the poem she uses small gestures to help aide in her delivery of the piece. It was also shared through social media to capture a larger audience.
5. The data means that the narrative/story of young black children can be changed. This little girl shows that the data can be used to encourage and motivate her black peers that may be having a hard time with self identity and purpose.
6. Policies that comes to mind are redlining and funding that the schools are given for underserved schools in urban communities. Data is used to make these decisions by taking into account the demographics of the neighborhood, the amount of money the district gives the schools, and economic status/money per household.]]> 2021-06-28 18:50:25 UTC https://padlet.com/SJCCook/w5mqc2r9b63kwli7/wish/1628815396 ihurd52 https://padlet.com/SJCCook/w5mqc2r9b63kwli7/wish/1628843981 1). The piece is addressing factors of identity that black children may or may not notice. Often students and children are not always praised just for being themselves especially, black children. 
2). The data i feel this piece utilizes is the unfortunate reality that our school systems do not promote positive progression of black students. This piece is a reminder to them that are capable of all things. This can be both qualitative and quantitative. 
3/4). There has been studies on overall student achievement based on race, socio-economic status, etc. A great way to gather data on what the piece speaks to is surveying a sample group of students and collecting their answers on what they wish to become then following up to see if their answers shift. This data may indicate correlations of why they may change.

5).  The data that would be collected would be beneficial to understanding what should be set forth for students to achieve what they wish. The data would be able to start the conversation of student based decision based policies.

Who you really are?  It really dives into the potential that black children have inside.  Sometimes as a black child, you feel powerless but this poem tell black children  that they have the power to control their destiny. to analyze a child's life, you could learn more about their culture, community and aspirations.  With that information, you have them present it. From there, you can try to uplift them and allow them to create a plan to help their dreams come true.]]> 2021-06-28 20:00:49 UTC https://padlet.com/SJCCook/w5mqc2r9b63kwli7/wish/1628885432 https://padlet.com/SJCCook/w5mqc2r9b63kwli7/wish/1628925066 1. The poem addresses the issue of identity, specifically what it means to be a black child according to oneself versus society.
2. The TV segment utilizes data about black children and education in the US. 
3. Data can be constantly collected in the city regarding back children, what/how they learn, their aspirations, views on themselves, etc. 
4. The data is communicated through the poem's commentary on society. 
5. The data's intent seems to be to prove that black children can be/ do anything regardless of what society says/enforces.  Black and brown children are constantly told and shown that their potential is limited, however, this data and poem have the purpose of disrupting that truth.
6.
