Example
“Seguin youth prefer to be cared for before they care about school” -Subtracting Schools, Caring Relations, and Social Capital by Angela Valenzuela
Working with kids who don’t seem to care about school can be very frustrating and discouraging. How would you support teachers to care for their students before the students show “care” for school?
Teacher Experiences of Culture in the Curriculum by Elaine Chan
“In attempting to convince parents to reconsider their decisions about school activities, are teachers conveying to students, and their parents, that they are more appropriate guides for the development of values and choice of practices they their parents?”
“How can teachers teach a mathematics they they never learned, in ways that they never experienced?”
“We have the expectations that children of ethnic minority backgrounds need to “adapt” to “our” school communities, but we may overlook that, as a host county for immigrants, we also need to explore the extent to which their relationship may be reciprocal.”
“Teachers have choices. All teachers are curricular – instructional gatekeepers – they largely decide the day-to-day curriculum and activities students experience.”
“…if many educators perpetuate heteronormativity,…most young people will continue to learn about homosexuality through a popular and prejudiced lens.”
