I am currently in education and love to see the growth of people. I enjoy learning and value humility and humor in others.

@jfhewitt52 #EDLD658 Throughout this case study the educational acuity of the lesson was not presented and the students lost a tremendous analysis by an educator whose past affiliations with art and symbolism would have heightened their experience studying the Civil War

[Julia McCarthy McLaverty @JuliaMclaverty]

#EDLD658 As the supt,his would be the perfect time to voice the importance of analysis of the past&project its relevance into the present.The recognition & study of our past helps us understand current events&the context they once fit.We should never fear teaching horrific events

[Julia McCarthy McLaverty @JuliaMclaverty]

#EDLD658 The Civil War shaped us as a country & left many scars. It is too bad the janitor was not "part" of the lesson w/the teacher due to his emotional feelings representing discrimination. Should the admin made this a lesson all could share & learn from?

[Julia McCarthy McLaverty @JuliaMclaverty]

#EDLD658 It is imperative to present the academic reason for this lesson & why this was supportive by the curriculum. The teacher's goal was to educate her students & analyze the past. Teaching history can lead to uncomfortable feelings -that is why it must be taught & analyzed

[Julia McCarthy McLaverty @JuliaMclaverty]

#EDLD658 We trust U.S. History teachers to breathe life into our past & give our students a keen understanding of what our history means to us today. This requires analysis & thought by our students. This teacher attempted to provide this & was not supported by her administration

@JoshMcK23671012 Social media has many positive aspects and will continue to evolve. I believe traditional media needs to adjust but will also evolve and continue to be relevant. #EDLD658

#EDLD658 Interesting article w/parallels to recent class articles...

[Education Week @educationweek]

Encouraging children to think about different facets of their own identities can help them think about other problems in novel ways, a new study suggests. https://t.co/O4OWcHmO5Q

@JoshMcK23671012 #EDLD658 I would advocate for a social media platform where teachers could professionally grow without any inhibitions & they feel "freed." Curious, what platform & setup to establish - hmm?

[Julia McCarthy McLaverty @JuliaMclaverty]

@JoshMcK23671012 #EDLD658 great ideas & thoughts & pragmatic for school setup. Establishing & promoting empathetic culture w/students at center is pivotal in change dynamics & climate of school. We must act for the betterment of our students

[Julia McCarthy McLaverty @JuliaMclaverty]

#EDLD658 the actions/steps the admin can take w/both the school community & broader area is to forge an openness about the nucleus of issue - humanity. Most essential element in education is taking care of our students & not burdening them w/uneasy consciences

[Julia McCarthy McLaverty @JuliaMclaverty]

#EDLD658guided by VonFrank's article,Simon HS officials priority would be to build trust between school& its community.Could occur w/them participating in local events & demonstrating their commitment & work to bring together differing viewpoint-not in agreement,but in acceptance

[Julia McCarthy McLaverty @JuliaMclaverty]

#EDLD658 sup &principal MUST take high road & heal divisions in com by going to events, functions& proactively listen & focus on greatness of their school & its main commodity-the health & welfare of its students!Demonstrating respect is pivotal even if not receiving it in return

[Julia McCarthy McLaverty @JuliaMclaverty]

#EDLD658 ideas could range from Instagram stories of student clubs & why they exist (function) & have these highlighted weekly/biweekly & by using SnapChat bio's of members of clubs & positively projecting why they are involved in their club & its purpose

[Julia McCarthy McLaverty @JuliaMclaverty]

#EDLD658 social media message from Simon HS officials should represent a promotion of the values of all its students by projecting its students' groups/activities on social media sites & the message of inclusivity ALL can participate if they choose & diminish shortsided behavior

Given the location & cultural context of this high school (in rural South w/a predominant Christian faith),the proactive steps/actions by the school should focus on educating ALL the public about injustice (https://t.co/WOurR8CstZ students) face & this is not supported by our Con

Otherwise, we are promoting the very notion of hypocrisy & devalues what we should be doing - educating our students AND community about acceptance of diversity & discrediting the idea you must be combative in response to differing viewpoint
