@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
#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
#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?
#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
#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
#EDLD658 RE the Confederate Flag issue prompt...Aside from the plethora of contractual missteps and mistakes the clear and open lines of communication were broken in the chain of "who needs to know what , when." While the article clearly can't address the full scope of events...
@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...
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?
@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
#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
#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
#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
#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
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
Interesting topic I believe that Simon HS was lax in front loading their community regarding such a sensitive issue. von Frank's points of benevolence, honesty, openess, reliability, and competency are well taken. In this instance they should've been embraced earlier #EDLD658
#EDLD658 not necessarily in line with the course but definitely a grounding sentiment we can't forget
Schools are influenced more by it's informal culture than by their mission statement, policies & procedures. Having strong, supportive, positive relationships, a unified vision, and team mentality is what makes a school great, not the statement hanging in the hallway.
@JuliaMclaverty I would think that is essential...too many fingers in the posting pie would be sure to lose the goal of a consistent message #EDLD658
