Another great day @elonuniversity ‘s forest classroom. Today we created self portraits and connected them to nature, math, and science! I always feel so inspired and rejuvenated in this space #ElonEd
A5: As we discussed earlier, everything about education is political. If as a teacher I am not also political, I am perpetuating an oppressive system that is designed to fail so many students. If I am not political as a teacher I am not doing my job. #ElonEd
A3: On Thursday Bettina Love also shared that "reform is the glue that keeps oppressive structures alive". Creating incremental education reforms only scratches the surface of the issue. As educators we need to more than reform, we need to radicalize and abolish. #ElonEd
We promote equity in our classrooms by recognizing the complexity of culture and understanding the individual identities our students bring to the classroom. #equitynotequality
A1: One experience I had was that each morning the students came and music was playing from ClassDojo and the students got to work on short sets of language arts and math problems. I think the music really helped them to calm down from the rush of the morning #participatetrchat
