#Biden wants to increase school funding to $49 billion dollars a year. #Trump has increased funding to $73 billion a year. My question is, why are 40% of American schools underfunded? https://t.co/xIXV7SHeIS
#auctee3100inquiry I want to use a mix of guided inquiry and free inquiry. Some students need some guidance to feel confident about their projects, but others are fine with discovering ideas on their own. Free inquiry allows students to become passionate about their work.
@joCTEE3100@alaimo_kelly I think every teacher has an opportunity to continuously educate themselves from what they believed when they first started teaching. Our society appears to be more aware of things that have been ingrained in us for generations and changing the dynamic for future educators.
@joCTEE3100 I think teachers should strive to include some type of awareness particular to every student (one’s culture, sexuality, gender expression, religion) to promote inclusivity among peers. While this can be effective, a child should never feel like a “token” for being different.
#auctee3100book “School officials will put everything before students’ actual mental health...students are healing from trauma and mattering to themselves and their community.” (Love,161) How can educators prioritize mental health in the classroom?
@KellieVosteen I love when art displays an emotion or event much better than any words ever could. For example, the BLM movement has produced many beautiful art pieces that showcase the tragedy of many lives lost due to police brutality and sparked an important conversation.
@CassidytotheRay I plan to emphasize the need for diversity with varying personalities, hobbies, cultures etc. I hope to take in account my students interests and create lesson plans/projects that include their hobbies so they can further their goals and express themselves as best as possible.
#auctee3100book “We cannot create a new educational system for all with a lack of understanding of what cripples our current system.” (Love, 103). How can teachers push forward new ideas in their classrooms that are inclusive to all?
@KellieVosteen I strive to offer my guidance past academic support. I dream of my classroom being a welcoming environment where students can express their feelings about personal struggles if needed and educate myself and their peers.
@joCTEE3100 Children are at school for a large part of their day and are easily influenced by the adults around them. It is extremely important for teachers to create an atmosphere that reaches beyond academics and into the lives of their students. A teacher may be their only positive model.
“My dignity was never to be compromised, which meant never compromising my voice and my connection to how I mattered in this world” (Love, 44). How can teachers use their voice and empower their students to never be ashamed of who they are? #auctee3100book
@hannaheshaw Personally, I would love to teach in a school that is diverse in language, culture, economic status, and academic ability. I want to have a variety of students that I can individually focus on and challenge myself to embrace every student, “easy” or not.
@EmmaRuthBoles1 Teachers should be prepared to acknowledge and assess every aspect of a child’s learning journey. While they should be understanding of a child’s experiences, they should work hard to benefit the child in the best way possible.
#auctee3100book “While we do not forget injustice, we are focused instead on love, well-being, and joy and refuse to be oppressed any longer.” How can teachers encourage this in the classroom without forgetting the past?
