Trauma-informed policy by Decolonise the Arts Curriculum https://padlet.com/decolonisetheartscurriculum/ygododo2eskrya27 en-us 2020-06-09 12:33:11 UTC 2023-02-26 21:39:45 UTC hello@padlet.com How does the policy process demonstrate trust? DecoloniseTheArtsCurriculum https://padlet.com/decolonisetheartscurriculum/ygododo2eskrya27/wish/2492468449
Do we start from a position of believing students when they tell us something is impacting upon their learning? If we are asking students to prove their need for an extension, why is this? Do we trust that students know best what they need in order to learn? How are signals of trust or mistrust impacting relationships between students and staff?]]> 2023-02-23 12:18:37 UTC https://padlet.com/decolonisetheartscurriculum/ygododo2eskrya27/wish/2492468449 How does the policy ensure equity over notions of fairness? DecoloniseTheArtsCurriculum https://padlet.com/decolonisetheartscurriculum/ygododo2eskrya27/wish/2492469688
That is, giving individuals what they need,
 rather than treating everyone the same. Does the policy 
assume that giving extra time is an unfair advantage,
despite students not starting from an equitable position
and learning at different paces? What does getting 
equitable accommodations entail and how might this 
impact an individual? Is the burden on students to
 disclose?]]> 2023-02-23 12:19:52 UTC https://padlet.com/decolonisetheartscurriculum/ygododo2eskrya27/wish/2492469688 How does the policy mitigate power dynamics? DecoloniseTheArtsCurriculum https://padlet.com/decolonisetheartscurriculum/ygododo2eskrya27/wish/2492470368
Who 
decides what a ‘compelling reason’ is or what constitutes
‘beyond normal difficulties’? Is there disagreement
 between staff and students or even amongst staff? Are
 we acknowledging the multiplicity of peoples’
experiences, and accepting of an individual’s ability to 
identify what they personally find difficult/traumatic? Do
 we give students any agency in decisions about their
 learning, or might they feel powerless in the process?]]> 2023-02-23 12:20:35 UTC https://padlet.com/decolonisetheartscurriculum/ygododo2eskrya27/wish/2492470368 How does the policy protect students from further harm? DecoloniseTheArtsCurriculum https://padlet.com/decolonisetheartscurriculum/ygododo2eskrya27/wish/2492471234 What information do we require students to disclose, how quickly, and how straightforward is this? Is it absolutely necessary if it risks retraumatizing or adding further distress to the individual? If a student is in the middle of a crisis, informing the institution, providing evidence, or being left in limbo of the decision could add to emotional distress rather than be supportive.]]> 2023-02-23 12:21:36 UTC https://padlet.com/decolonisetheartscurriculum/ygododo2eskrya27/wish/2492471234 How accessible is the policy? DecoloniseTheArtsCurriculum https://padlet.com/decolonisetheartscurriculum/ygododo2eskrya27/wish/2492472144 Can students understand it? Do students or staff need to jump through hoops? Does the policy refer to many other (accessible or inaccessible) policies, leaving a burden on students to ‘follow breadcrumbs’?]]> 2023-02-23 12:22:33 UTC https://padlet.com/decolonisetheartscurriculum/ygododo2eskrya27/wish/2492472144 Review your policy document and use the prompt questions to discuss DecoloniseTheArtsCurriculum https://padlet.com/decolonisetheartscurriculum/ygododo2eskrya27/wish/2492473743 2023-02-23 12:24:08 UTC https://padlet.com/decolonisetheartscurriculum/ygododo2eskrya27/wish/2492473743 UAL Extenuating Circumstances DecoloniseTheArtsCurriculum https://padlet.com/decolonisetheartscurriculum/ygododo2eskrya27/wish/2492488343 2023-02-23 12:38:57 UTC https://padlet.com/decolonisetheartscurriculum/ygododo2eskrya27/wish/2492488343
