Our students have so much to offer so I will always be thinking about how our collective actions can stifle that brilliance and how we need to actively work to unearth what has been buried by a flawed educational system.]]> 2022-01-26 00:32:26 UTC https://padlet.com/dawounjyung/wg5755u8ykyuiuzg/wish/2012437997 Reflecting on the discretionary spaces was powerful. It's a good reminder to see how many of these come up during the school day. dionnebeckford https://padlet.com/dawounjyung/wg5755u8ykyuiuzg/wish/2012443139 2022-01-26 00:37:09 UTC https://padlet.com/dawounjyung/wg5755u8ykyuiuzg/wish/2012443139 It is important for me to start each school year with a blank slate for all children and not imposed my assumptions before I know them as a student. I also want to try to find some time at the end of each day or week to reflect on areas where I may show bias or where I can create more equity. dionnebeckford https://padlet.com/dawounjyung/wg5755u8ykyuiuzg/wish/2012446110 2022-01-26 00:39:54 UTC https://padlet.com/dawounjyung/wg5755u8ykyuiuzg/wish/2012446110 The resources are invaluable. I can't wait to explore them more fully and share/use with other teachers at my school. https://padlet.com/dawounjyung/wg5755u8ykyuiuzg/wish/2448826860 2023-01-18 18:54:36 UTC https://padlet.com/dawounjyung/wg5755u8ykyuiuzg/wish/2448826860 Really reflecting on my classroom-curriculum, discretionary spaces, expectations, student choice, collaboration to make my classrooms as anti-racist as possible. https://padlet.com/dawounjyung/wg5755u8ykyuiuzg/wish/2448828993 2023-01-18 18:56:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dawounjyung/wg5755u8ykyuiuzg/wish/2448828993 One goal that I have for my classroom after this course after attending this workshop is thinking about discretionary spaces and giving myself pause time to reflect before I jump to act. https://padlet.com/dawounjyung/wg5755u8ykyuiuzg/wish/2450044715 2023-01-19 16:27:25 UTC https://padlet.com/dawounjyung/wg5755u8ykyuiuzg/wish/2450044715 This whole course was very useful. I've taken make equity courses and this was the first one that was focused on STEM. The resources we looked at during our last session were amazing - thank you so much! https://padlet.com/dawounjyung/wg5755u8ykyuiuzg/wish/2450045776 2023-01-19 16:28:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dawounjyung/wg5755u8ykyuiuzg/wish/2450045776
