The pandemic deepened existing disparities and created daunting new barriers for students in our community, including Breakthrough students on the path to college.
@SraSpanglish I appreciate your mindfulness in thinking this through. As educators, it can be easy to come up with activities that seem safe and unproblematic without considering ALL students’ experiences
@SraSpanglish As someone who never had financial resources enough to even dream of travel as a kid, I think that the words “dream vacation” could bring up some feelings for some kids. Maybe reword it as: “if you could visit anywhere, where would you go and what would you do?”
One of the amazing students I work with is an organizer for the TX Capitol Walkout for Gun Safety on 4/20 to protest gun violence. The more support we show, the better the chance that their words will not go unnoticed. Please contribute/share: https://t.co/dSn3D5hYRm
Lots of great ideas here, but how do we improve access to tech for low SES families & students? Those at greatest risk to be left behind are being left further behind! #TCEA2018
