I’m done hearing “our schools are broken”. Point to another industry during this crisis that has more quickly adapted to change, supported our most vulnerable, & served the community at large...without a bailout.

I’ll wait.

in remote curriculum, but consider your students' mental wellbeing. We're living the COVID-19 narrative every day - I think a lot of our students just want normalcy and routine from their remote coursework. Just some food for thought inspired by a bright student!

#BI504 Been meeting 1-1 with a student who has expressed discomfort about his regular Zoom classes turning into a COVID-19 forum. He said, "I see it on the news every day, I don't wanna talk about it everyday, too". I think it's tempting to use current events (cont)

But I think the quote I attached speaks for itself - our students are so smart and they know when they're being looked down upon. It's our job to advocate for our students and teach them how to advocate for themselves - that all starts with an asset-based approach.

#BI504 #ReadingResponse How does my school see [multilingual learners]? Well, honestly, some people think we’re stupid. They be like, “Aw,
they can’t do this, they don’t know English.” (cont)

[Emily Lyons @emrlyons]

in educational policy and how our language as teachers can contribute to the trend if we're not mindful. Gives some great advice for how to use and promote asset-based language when discussing multilingual learners. (cont)

#BI504 https://t.co/3A4PgqTbVe Wanted to share this with you all - for a #BI620 assignment, I compiled a blog of remote teaching resources in a Tumblr blog. I found a lot of the content here - from you all! So thank you! Hope it's useful to someone. :)

If you aren't prioritizing the needs of English Learners during distance education, did you really ever? #Equity #Access #LanguageIsAccessToContent

Same type of Visa that all workers at Trump hotels have (mentioned in the article). Do you think this was intentional or a conspiracy?

Immigrant doctors with J-1 are fearing for losing their Visa statuses should they contract COVID-19. Currently only H-2 temp work Visas are being waived in-person interviews to expedite citizenship... (cont)

[Emily Lyons @emrlyons]

(whether due to lack of access or low motivation) - We really needed more voices to advocate for closure preparation. I wish education resources like this would have spread that message with SPECIFIC suggestions.

#BI504 #ReadingResponse Fascinating looking back at these articles before the pandemic hit hard here. What do you think this list is missing now that we're in the midst of it? I think e-learning alt. needed to be discussed FAR earlier (cont)

[Emily Lyons @emrlyons]

In lieu of gov't guidance, we needed school admin to step up. My prac was constantly waiting for gov't directions without considering pre-planning e-learning. I think a lot of schools were the same and now we're seeing v low rates of student participation as a result (cont)

[Emily Lyons @emrlyons]

Recently, I've been trying to find ways to relate my teaching to the real world while still maintaining academic integrity - I wonder if incorporating BOTH of these versions of habits of mind could be effective?

[Emily Lyons @emrlyons]

#BI504 #ReadingResponse Loved reading about the Habits of Mind learning enrichment partnership b/w BU and Malden in the 2015 VUE - Ss at my practicum practice a version of Habits of Mind that seek to set higher standards for all Ss at the school (cont)

[Emily Lyons @emrlyons]

Those goals are perseverance, empathy and listening to others, imagination, precision, or learning continuously in specific units that incorporated community-learning and the arts.

First/second gen immigrants may have difficult relationships with their home countries that factors into whether or not they teach their kids their 1st lang. Have you ever witnessed/experienced this?
