Thank you for your patience with this online course experiment! Please take a minute to share your thoughts so that I can improve the lesson structure in case it is ever repeated. https://t.co/4tfL61Bhrk #exitticket#usfccc#lastone#ipromise
Have you looked for your favorite education writers on twitter? For example, @kevinkumashiro is right here on twitter! Others are active too. Take a minute to browse and share anything you find with your classmates! #usfccc
A6: Education will always be a microcosm for a society's assets and ills, but I continue to be a believer in the liberating power of education, at both the individual and the group level. #usfccc
Q6: Let’s turn back to the million-dollar question asked by @eckm8. Does Kumashiro seem to be arguing that education is inherently oppressive, or could there be an education – either in the past or in the future – that wouldn’t be?
A5: This argument reminded me of the additive vs transformative debate we've read about in other settings. I think it's a useful distinction, and ultimately, a push to get educators to be move more deeply/passionately/aggressively into the stories of the disenfranchised. #usfccc
@evreigh A3: Traditionally, the contributions and histories of the Other have been omitted from history classes, but that is beginning to change, particularly in districts like SFUSD which are quite conscientious of this historical reality. #socialsciences#usfccc
@evreigh A2: I don't like the term because it implies that education is inherently oppressive. I acknowledge the hidden curriculum and other ways education can continue and exacerbate systems of oppression, but I prefer I positively-framed term, like "transformative" #usfccc
Q1: Warm-up! Tell a joke, proverb or saying in any one of the languages you know. Put “A1:” at the beginning and #usfccc at the end. You can either reply to this tweet or compose a new tweet. Tweets are limited to 280 characters, which is exactly this length! #concision
Very proud of all the students participating in #nationalwalkoutday. Their strength and dedication are an example of us all. I know they will be an important catalyst for change.
