Here are a few questions that I have after this week's readings:
  • What does liberating education include?
  • What is the difference between engaged pedagogy and feminist pedagogy?  What are the similarities?
  • What impact has Paulo Freire made to social justice?
  • Are you influenced by Paulo Freire's work?  If so, in what ways?

    Porsche, those are great questions. I had such a difficult time formulating questions on this topic. I like your question on what is the difference/similarity between engaged pedagogy and feminist pedagogy? I think we can include a lot of the hot topics we hit on in this class? BLM, LGBTQ, Dis/Ability, etc.

Blaming Mothers:  A disability perspective   This article discussed the many ways in which some school districts tend to take aim at blaming the mother for their child’s disability, which to me is by far the most unfair, unjust and wrong approach.   Instead, school districts should be offering support and resources to these mothers and children. It also provided four different stories that demonstrated how some school districts blamed the mothers for their child's’ behavior.  The mothers in these scenarios were often blamed for being incompetent, assertive, passive and for having a job outside of the home.

T he use of translanguaging immediately comes to mind as one of the ways to create a culturally responsive classroom.  Translanguaging became a huge part of my classroom this school year. I definitely view translanguaging as a resource because it allows my emergent bilinguals to make connections with what they already know and new academic content.  It also encourages our students to maintain their native language which is so important. I definitely support and agree with the videos in regards to the benefits and use of translanguaging in the classroom.  With that in mind, I will continue to encourage and practice translanguaging in my classroom in multiple ways such as including and referencing their native language when introducing new vocabulary and anchor charts more regularly.  In conjunction with including my students’ native language on our word wall and by listening to and reading multicultural books. Unite for literacy is a website that provides acce...

I, too, believe that the new rules regarding ESL learners being proposed by RIDE will do more harm than good.   ESL students need to be placed with ESL certified teachers to guarantee that they are placed in an environment that will give them extensive language support that they so desperately need, and more importantly, deserve.   After reading the article on language diversity and learning, I’m reminded about the importance of placing ELLs with ESL certified teachers.  I have been exposed to many concepts discussed in this article as a result of my continuing education in ESL.  For example, I would not have learned the damaging effects of over correcting an ESL student during the language learning process as mentioned in the article.  ESL trained educators know that over correcting could result in the following: silencing a student straining the relationship between teacher and student causing harm to the student’s affective filter raise anxiety cause...
