@KwilasMegan Creating that comfortable environment where students feel accepted will lead to them finding ways to express themselves more naturally and will really lead to authentic learning!

[Hannah Bazan @hannahbteaches]

@SedonaParks Yes! Learning about our history is one thing, but going deeper and really looking at the cause/effect and connections will really help students think more critically and gain a deeper understanding.

[Hannah Bazan @hannahbteaches]

@JSpitalli @dr_s_bertrand Incorporating students' funds of knowledge plays a big role in the classroom! Recognizing that instead of stripping it at the door is monumental.

A4. I will include literature that provides a mirror for Black and Brown students and celebrate all students by encouraging them to be themselves. I will demonstrate time and time again that their wellbeing is a priority #TCHEdBirds #TCH258F20

@MiaVanella @dr_s_bertrand This is great! Getting parents involved early on in the school year is great for so many reasons! It may even be a good ice breaker for parents to have more conversations with their children about identities.

[Hannah Bazan @hannahbteaches]

@MsUblish Yes!! Both of those are things I never knew until I was in college. It's definitely something that my future students will learn about.

[Hannah Bazan @hannahbteaches]

@NatalieBerlin I love this Natalie! You have clearly put a lot of thought in this and it shows! I too, plan on letting my students discover the truths of our country through different experiences

[Hannah Bazan @hannahbteaches]

A3. I plan on highlighting other historical figures other than the few that are constantly highlighted. I would include the posters we made for the critical voices project! Letting discussions be student led will also be a goal of mine in the classroom #TCHEdBirds #TCH258F20

[Hannah Bazan @hannahbteaches]

@LongawaReilly There are so many great resources out there specifically for discussing current events in the classroom! I love that you brought that up!

[Hannah Bazan @hannahbteaches]

@tmwill8 @dr_s_bertrand I've never heard of this book before! Definitely something I will be looking into later today 👀

[Hannah Bazan @hannahbteaches]

@samanth30416029 Authentic literature for sure!! And I'm right there with you on needing copies!

[Hannah Bazan @hannahbteaches]

A2. I plan on using books to start off many lessons to construct critical discussions for my students, like Henry’s Freedom Box, Grandfather’s Journey and Diana’s White House Garden. It’s also a great way to help students visualize the settings/time periods #TCHEdBirds #TCH258F20

[Hannah Bazan @hannahbteaches]

@TibblesHayley @dr_s_bertrand I am totally with you on the stressed part but we're sooooo close!!

[Hannah Bazan @hannahbteaches]

@MaryPerfect2 @dr_s_bertrand Aw Mary! Hope you feel better soon :)

[Hannah Bazan @hannahbteaches]

@JSpitalli @dr_s_bertrand I love this class so I'm super excited to see our peers' responses too!

[Hannah Bazan @hannahbteaches]

A1. Hi everybody, Hannah B here! Feeling energized and enthusiastic about this twitter chat today :) #TCHEdBirds #TCH258F20

[Hannah Bazan @hannahbteaches]

@MsSooHoo Wonderfully said!! With this mindset and attitude you will be a great role model for not only your students, but those you teach with as well :) #TeacherEduMatters

[Hannah Bazan @hannahbteaches]

@gracedebacker @DrPorcher @dr_s_bertrand Yes!! So well said Grace! Creating a culturally responsive classroom starts with us. Students are always watching and we have been given a platform to advocate for that action and change #TeacherEduMatters

[Hannah Bazan @hannahbteaches]

@KwilasMegan With sharing modern examples, we have the opportunity to show how important these issues in our society are and that what's rooted deep in our history has yet to change, but we can help advocate for that change #TeacherEduMatters

[Hannah Bazan @hannahbteaches]

A3: As future teachers, we can disrupt the norms that isolate our differences. We can celebrate them in all forms and discuss what we don't know. The goal is to create an environment where students feel accepted, understood, and appreciated #TeacherEduMatters #TCHEdBirds
