@NowakRo A4: while I’m not a full teacher just yet, I can answer this question as to how I would hope my future self intends to do this. I want all of my students’ cultures and skillsets represented in curriculum. Knowing their strengths will help me help them become leaders #buildhopeedu
@NowakRo A3: I think the answer here is to center instruction around student interest… promoting student choice and bringing their stories into curriculum goes hand and hand with academic success. #buildhopeedu
@NowakRo A2: knowing their stories allows you to form a positive teacher student relationship… students feel seen and respected; all of their interests can be implemented into classroom curriculum, making learning more fun and productive #buildhopeedu
@NowakRo A1: a good way to learn your student stories would be google forms, surveys, and student interest inventories … even better are real conversations with them #buildhopeedu
A6: put forth routines that will benefit students, center student voice and act as a *facilitator* for open-ended discussions, implement question formulation theory in your daily practices, make it known you value each identity in front of you #eloned
A5: create a classroom culture of creativity and inquiry, commit to making the environment one that embraces feedback and reflection... so students feel safe to reimagine their own schooling #eloned
A3: reimagining academic success involves disrupting the status quo - where students take control of their own learning and empower themselves… teacher embrace each identity and don’t view their students as a number or a grade #eloned
A2: we should disrupt the reliance on textbooks that tell only one story, and standardized tests that dictate a student’s future and a student’s confidence #eloned
