How can we help the next generation in their fight for justice? en-us 2021-08-30 15:35:38 UTC 2025-11-15 16:22:37 UTC hello@padlet.com eblancorowe6542 https://padlet.com/eblancorowe6542/yk1b95qvemegj0h3/wish/1704805572 After Launch meetings, how can we address the work of advocates

Supporting the growth of students, and ensuring they are good people, good citizens

Exposure - you don't know what you don't know, exposing students to what they may not know

supporting students in being proud of their own culture

Provide them with the language to express and identify from themselves

Learning from the students, they have a scope that we don't have, when we were their age, our perception was different

Potential Book: unpack the assumption that children view the world through an adult lense

Being critical of the text we have in front.

Create an environment where students feel comfortable challenging what's being taught.

Teach students to explain why they feel the way they feel so they can self advocate, better understand culture, and better grasp the issues within our culture.

Be flexible to students needs.

Make changes based on new understandings. Sometimes something we enjoyed we later find has a darker past (Jingle Bells)

Accept that some of this will be uncomfortable.]]> 2021-08-30 15:41:32 UTC https://padlet.com/eblancorowe6542/yk1b95qvemegj0h3/wish/1704805867 eblancorowe6542 https://padlet.com/eblancorowe6542/yk1b95qvemegj0h3/wish/1704806038 2021-08-30 15:41:37 UTC https://padlet.com/eblancorowe6542/yk1b95qvemegj0h3/wish/1704806038 eblancorowe6542 https://padlet.com/eblancorowe6542/yk1b95qvemegj0h3/wish/1704806183 - Making VOICE the best possible place to be so students love coming in.  So they feel comfortable and happy and loved.

- Actively seek out multiple resources to give kids as much access to information as possible so they can become critical thinkers.

- If we want kids to be actively dismantling systems down the road, we as adults need to lead by example.

- Holding space to talk about current events about things that are currently happening or have happened in the past. 

- Letting students get to the idea instead of giving them the idea, and giving them the resources and space to do that. 

- Trusting our kids to be able to think for themselves. 

- Looking at our practice carefully and finding out when it is about you vs. making it about the kids. ]]> 2021-08-31 18:01:40 UTC https://padlet.com/eblancorowe6542/yk1b95qvemegj0h3/wish/1707753946
