Addressing African American Males in our classrooms and Buildings
Across the country, African American Males disproportionately make up the a large number of written up for discipline referrals, suspensions, and expulsions, when compared to their white counterparts. Oftentimes, there is a simple miscommunication that can rectifiy these misunderstandings that accounts for different lived experiences. The goal of this professional learning is to identify different lived experiences and take them into consideration before misunderstandings occur. This Professional learning focuses specifically on African American males in the classroom and school buildings. We learn how to analyze the position in which African American males play in the overall climate of the building.
Academic Equity in our buildings and our classrooms
All children deserve to have the opportunity to have access to fair and equitable education systems and experiences. They also deserve to have resources for them to achieve their academic, behavioral, and social goals. This Professional Learning helps teachers and leaders evaluate and challenge their curriculum and classroom materials to ensure that students have a voice in how and what we use to educate them. It also goes through the process of gaining input from students to learn what materials students need access to for classrooms to be equitable and the curriculum represents them in a way in which they can identify.
Addressing minority students in the classroom
This professional learning will focus on minority students in the classroom, especially those who may struggle in the classroom academically and/or behaviorally. The purpose is to challenge participants to identify any inequities and distinguish how to fill those holes. In this professional learning session, participants will also challenge their relationships, not only with students, but also how participants interact with parents and community members. Lastly, it will challenge participants’ mindset, and how they work to acknowledge and start the conversation as to how to change negative mindsets and deficit thinking.
Building Psychologically Safe environments for all students
Educators learn to ensure that their classroom climates and cultures are positive. Understanding that, when these two elements of educating are successful, teachers reach more students. However, what is missing is the aspect of psychological safety. Which tells educators how the culture and climate impacts their feelings. (How do they feel about culture and climate? Can they be their authentic selves?). These three elements cannot operate without each other, and all three of them need to be present for students and even educators to be successful. This professional learning leverages Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to identify how to ensure that our buildings, classrooms, and relationships are psychologically safe for students and stakeholders in the culture and climate of the building as well as in the community.
Microaggressions and teaching
Microaggressions are unconscious slights that are oppress those who are different from the dominant community; oftentimes the offender is unaware of. Individuals don’t understand that they have committed a microaggression, and receivers (students) of microaggressions may not realize that they are reacting to microaggressions from educators. Ultimately, minimizing microaggressions and taking different lived experiences into consideration bridges the gap of trust and relationships that may occur between educators and minority students. This professional learning provides a basic overview of microaggressions and how to avoid them in classroom and building scenarios with students.
Building Relationships 101 (The POWER of Building Relationships)
This professional learning creates a space for novice educators or educators who may struggle with classroom management, culture, and climate to diagnose where the biggest opportunity for change is in their classrooms and buildings. This will cover the foundations of building positive relationships, identifying how building strong relationships can have a positive impact both on academic achievement and their classroom management. The goal of this professional learning is to equip teachers, who may struggle in classroom culture with strategies to change and/or establish a new culture in their classrooms.
