Summer PD Update Community Conversation Getting Started with Schoology Summer Sessions
Community Conversation • Over 750 teachers so far • Remaining teachers and administrators on 8/16 at Henley Middle School • Facilitated by teachers and administrators with CRT Certification • Provides common experience with a focus on historic and present barriers to equity as well as steps educators can take in our classrooms and schools
Sample Exit Ticket Responses: Which concepts were most interesting to you from today's conversation? “Historical implications for today and current practices” “How my identity and values affect my teaching; what parts of the system perpetuate inequities.” “I really appreciated taking a look at the video describing the first African Americans integrated into school. I think the conversation that stemmed from that was very powerful.” “County data on equity gaps” “Defining my identity/core values and how it informs my practice”
Sample Responses “What specific action do you plan to take to benefit all students in 2019-2020?” “Identifying areas of inequity in classroom” “Create learning partnerships with all students.” “Be more aware of the way that I might be inequitable in my teaching.” “Spending more time "individuating" and getting to know students and families/developing relationship.” “After this conversation and my session about home visits, I hope to be able to visit my students’ homes to learn more about the families that I serve”
