@TibblesHayley @dr_s_bertrand It is such a powerful thing to have a teacher who makes you feel equally represented within the classroom!

[Miss Strack @StrackSara]

@JSpitalli @dr_s_bertrand I agree that it is so important for students to be able to see how material they are learning can apply to them!

[Miss Strack @StrackSara]

@MaryPerfect2 @dr_s_bertrand I think it is essential that our students see themselves represented in literature. It is so powerful to feel recognized.

@dr_s_bertrand would want to be treated. #TCHEdBirds #TCH258F20

@dr_s_bertrand making sure they are represented within the lessons that I teach by providing them with backgrounds of significant Black/Brown people, as well as making sure I set a welcoming and safe classroom environment and stressing the importance to students to treat each other as they

@JSpitalli @dr_s_bertrand Hi Jessica! I also think open discussions are very beneficial and I plan to use them a lot in my future classroom.

[Miss Strack @StrackSara]

@OConnorN_teach @dr_s_bertrand I agree with you Natalie! Various lenses are essential!

[Miss Strack @StrackSara]

@MaryPerfect2 @dr_s_bertrand Love this! I think it is so important for our white students to learn how to be advocates for their peers!

they will be able to see themselves reflected in the conversation that they are having as well as engage in conversation of their thoughts and feelings after watching the video. Here is the video linked if interested. #TCHEdBirds #TCH258F20 @dr_s_bertrand https://t.co/IB7YkLlsIw

A3. I plan on incorporating social justice, equity, Blackness, and antiracism by providing my students with multiple methods and sources to explore with. For example, PBS Kids has a video of Arthur and his friend discussing a video they saw of a Black person being mistreated

that made them uncomfortable and sad. They voiced their feelings and that they wanted to do something about it but didn’t know how. They then got on a call with their teacher to talk more about it. This would be beneficial to use with students when discussing antiracism because

[Miss Strack @StrackSara]

@TibblesHayley @dr_s_bertrand Segregation used to be a topic that I would worry about teaching to my students because I want to make sure they get a critical experience with the subject. I had never heard of this book before and I am totally going to check it out! Thanks for the suggestion.

[Miss Strack @StrackSara]

@MsPalicka @dr_s_bertrand I think that Grace For President is such a strong tool to use when discussing elections with students! I also plan to use this book in the future.

@MaryPerfect2 @dr_s_bertrand Hey Mary! I have never heard of this book, I am going to check it out after our discussion! Thanks for bringing that up!

A2. I plan on using interactive read alouds heavily within my future social studies instruction, as well as primary documents and resources for students to explore within my instruction. I plan on using books such as “Same, Same But Different” when studying geography and how

@dr_s_bertrand A1. Hi #TCHEdBirds #TCH258F20 ! I’m Sara and am feeling productive today! It is a feeling I haven’t felt in a long time, so I’m feeling good!

[Miss Strack @StrackSara]

@MaryPerfect2 @juliagoldsteinn @DrPorcher @dr_s_bertrand I like that you mentioned right and wrong. A lot of our biases come from thinking that someone is “wrong” for how they speak/look/etc. It is important for us to teach our students that right and wrong doesn’t really exist when it comes to language.

[Miss Strack @StrackSara]

@sammy_chmara @juliagoldsteinn @DrPorcher @dr_s_bertrand It is important for students to understand this so that they don’t develop biases against people who speak differently from them.
