Consider These Potential Prompts
[…]teaching, I thought about my high school student self. It wasn’t about all the times I had felt comfortable taking up space as a student, it was about all the times that I had become small in fear that adults wouldn’t listen to me or believe me. I never want my students to feel small the way I had felt all those years ago. So even in the depths of pandemic teaching survival, even when I was lost as a first-year teacher, I always took the time to listen to my students. I always took them seriously and listened so […]
Different Ways Of Knowing: In Support Of A Broadened Life Science Classroom
[…]of ecology, and so many tools for inspecting the world around us. I am still growing into my own comfort with these ideas. I am a White, English-speaking, cis female science teacher, born and raised in Detroit and its suburbs. Like many science teachers and scientists, I’ve long found comfort in data tables, well-labeled graphs, and transparent p-values. I endorse clear and replicable results and large sample sizes. For many years, I declared anthropomorphizing problematic, and felt a very real, internal shudder at any ideas that invoked mysticism, magic, or souls. While I’ll write here about my own shifts, in […]

[…]questions, I found out that the student was kicked out because they were out of their seat working inside a bookcase (not sure how that works). I let the student know that, honestly, sometimes it’s hard to tell if they’re doing work when they change their seat so often. The student assured me that they are doing work, they just hate sitting.

Poetry Corner
[…]nose and doing the good work, you all deserve medals (the “medals”, let’s note, are rarely forthcoming.) Don’t get me wrong; we’ll take more pay, more windows, more gardens, more time. But there is laughter, and music, and creativity, and hope in this work. There is nothing-matters-more in this work and there are moments of pure and delightful absurdity in this work. There is reckoning with pain and ugliness as a community, there is dancing, there is surprise and wonder and revelation. There is exploring plants and bugs with all five of our senses— yes, all five, yes, bugs too. […]
