Going back and thinking about everything we have done this semester melts my heart because this class is my favorite I have learn and I improve so much that picking out a few pieces that stood at to me the most was fun. Card game When we played this game at the beginning it change me because I have never felt so overwhelmed playing a game, I will always say that I was extremely foncused and embarrassed the whole round. The card game, we were separated into different groups and we couldn’t communicate with each other at all no talking no lips so nothing what had me the most confused was that we were handed instructions to read and follow and I am definitely a person who learns by listening to directions and watching others so reading the directions just confused me even more. This games showed us Delpits culture of power and showed us how in the world some rule the world and others just followed everyone else.

What too look for in a classroom - kohn

What I looked for in a classroom- Kohn Arguments. Kohn advocates for a collaborative approach to discipline, where rules are developed with students rather than imposed on them. He believes this fosters a sense of community and respect. Kohn argues that classrooms should be centered around students' interests and curiosity. He believes that learning should be driven by students' questions and investigations, rather than a standardized curriculum. Kohn questions the effectiveness of homework, particularly in elementary school. He suggests that it can interfere with family time and discourage a love of learning.

Queer in schools

Reflection// Argument #9 Queer in schools!! Queering in schools is a concept that has been gaining traction in recent years. It refers to the process of challenging and disrupting heteronormative and cisnormative assumptions, practices, and policies in educational settings. This is done in order to create a more inclusive and equitable environment for all students, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. In this weeks reading Rethinking Schools believe that queering in schools is a necessary and important step towards achieving social justice in education. They argue that schools should not only be safe spaces for LGBTQ+ students, but also places where all students are taught to respect and value diversity and difference. However, they also acknowledge that queering in schools is not without its challenges. Many educators may lack the knowledge or resources to effectively implement queer-inclusive curricula and policies. There may also be resistance from parents,...

Blog 8 Ableism

Blog 9 Eliminating Ableism in Education Thomas Hehir Skarlet Pena Quotes: "Cyndi Jones argues that, like the image of the poster child, this image implies that a disabled person is presumed deserving of pity — instead of respect — until the person proves capable of overcoming disability through extraordinary feats (Shapiro, 1994). Both of these dominant stereotypes of dis-ability, "Tiny Tims" and "supercrips," have at their core ableist perspectives, the failure to accept and value disabled ped e as they are." pg 3 This quote stood out to me because when you first meet someone that is disabled some negative thoughts that come to mind are that they are weak or that they can no longer live their lives as a “regular person” but that is not true . I believe that they deserve to be treated for respect and compassion for what they are going through especially for those that are going through life with their disability and without the help of anyone. ...

Richard Rodriguez Reflection: I connect to the is article because the idea that the language I grew up learning meant nothing to people confused me. As a Spanish speaking woman that was born in the Dominican Republic and came to the United States at age of 7, I came to America with a fear that I wouldn’t be able to catch up to the other students or being made fun of because of the language barrier. For example in the article it states “ Because I wrongly imagined that English was intrinsically a public language and Spanish was an intrinsically private one, I easily noted the difference between the classroom language and the language at home”. The hardest part was leaning a new language but also remembering the old one. I remember being home while my mom told me to speak only Spanish at home so I wouldnt disconnect from my culture but once I stepped foot outside my house I new I had to speak English. It sometimes felt like i was living a different live at school then at home. ...

Finn

Finn Literacy with an Attitude Reflection: In the article Finn expresses how poor class students received functional literacy that promotes compliance while students from privileged backgrounds were taught above average and powerful literacy that promotes power and independence. It is connected to my opinion on education equality which is that I believe everyone should have the chance to receive above average education from educators that are extremely capable of providing powerful literacy and support. “The struggle for justice and equality requires empowering education and powerful literacy”.Some students these days no longer care about learning and having the opportunity to have a better future but it is not entirely their fault. The educational system right now is not in support of all children take for example the school to prison pipeline.There is an actual system built to make students fail especially students of color. This article is a reminder that eduactional equality...

How structural racism works

How structural racism works Reflection: In the video she contracts two term and unites them within one category  The video starts explaining about the idea of Structural racism being a systems that people make and are used to discriminate against others because of their race.  (Una organization or protesta people can start to discriminarte por cualquier razor asi sea por tu racé ) She goes on talks about the idea of “color blind” basically not wanting to pay attention to anything that promotes any program, organization or idea of racism The idea of colorblind ideology focuses on the belief that race no longer matters and “I don’t see color”. Structural racism continues to separate communities of color from access to better opportunities and progress by making it difficult for people of color to secure quality education, jobs, healthcare, and equal treatment in the criminal justice system. It fosters discrimination that provides limitation in the ability to access power. there ...
