In my comp 2 class we were given the overall subject of education for our semester-long paper, but we were allowed to choose whatever sub-topic we wanted. Our teacher used guided inquiry method to give us a topic, but ultimately left the rest up to us. #auctee3100inquiry
@CassidytotheRay (1/2) I think mental wellness is one of, if not the most important contributing factor to a students success. If they're struggling or going through something really tough, they are most likely not performing their best. I think it's important for students to feel like they can
@AnnaKatherineP5 (2/2) I personally think having counselors on school property at all times that have the time and energy to handle more than class schedules is a good place to start. For scary situations as I mentioned, or just to talk.
@AnnaKatherineP5 (1/2) During my time in high school, something really tragic and jarring happened at my school. Rather than allowing students to grieve and deal with the situation, they told us not to talk about it. I think this is a really good example of what NOT to do.
"These momentous events were all just blips in one twenty-four-hour news cycle of our humanity screaming for help." #auctee3100book
As an future educator and role model, do you think it's okay to talk about tragic or scary news stories with your class? How would you handle it?
@LindseyOberk (2/2) holidays, etc. With all of these examples, it is also important to give students the voices to express themselves and share their experiences with their peers.
@LindseyOberk (1/2) Even if schools do offer ethnic studies classes, I believe it is important to incorporate aspects of these classes within ALL classes. That can be done through representation of every students culture in homework problems, posters around the room, studies of every cultures
@CassidytotheRay (1/2) I plan to give students the chance to creatively express themselves when they're being assessed. If students are able to be creative, they'll enjoy school more and be more involved and willing to learn. Similar to what Samantha said, I would learn about each child's dreams

How can you make sure that you're acknowledging and helping students handle their hardships, even if you haven't dealt with anything similar to what they may be going through?
(1/2) Love quotes Henry Brown, "If you have never been deprived of your liberty, as I was, you cannot realize the power of that hope of freedom, which was to me indeed, an anchor to the soul both sure and steadfast."

@CassidytotheRay I plan to support multiculturalism in my classroom by using inclusive examples for whatever subject I teacher as well as posters, etc. I will also teach my students about all cultures and make sure that every student feels represented and appreciated.
@madisonbarkley3 As we talked about in class, teachers may shut the door upon the beginning of the class day or period. Not for selfish reasons, but because their they have a lot of students or for other reasons. Sadly, dealing with trauma may be a second thought. (2/2)
@madisonbarkley3 Obviously I can't speak for every teacher, but I personally think that maybe teachers looks at the day as having only a certain amount of hours for teaching. Similarly, in high school, teachers may only have 3-4 hours with students a week. (1/2)

As a future educator, how important do you think it is to connect with students outside of academics? (1/2)
@logansmithh19 I believe that without acknowledgment there is no room to grow. Without room to grow, there is no room to heal. If someone cannot accept the things that have caused pain in the past there is no way to successfully move forward because that is like invalidating ones feelings.
"Denying dark people's existence and contributions to human progress relegates dark folx to being takers and not cocreators of history or their lives." What are some examples of things you can do to ensure that all cultures are celebrated in your classroom? #auctee3100book
