Equity Literacy Framework Case 2 p2

Step three is to consider possible challenges and opportunities.

Some of the challenges in this case is the teacher

having to change her or his perspective as to why

students exhibit certain behaviors.

Um I think the teacher here is just assuming that

this teacher that these students don't care when that is

not the case.

The behaviors are a symptom of something else going on.

Another challenge is how to fix the separate relationship between

students and teachers, since there is already a lot of

tension. So the challenge would be how to fix that

and how to make that better, how to start to

heal that relationship.

Some of the opportunities um when the teacher finally does

reach out, um the teacher has the opportunity to come

together with other peers and they can support each other,

another opportunity that comes from um community and teachers supporting

each other.

It would be to increase school climate.

So they come up with something um a school wide

initiative of sorts.

Um then they would be able to increase the positive

school climate.

Yeah Step# four is to imagine equitable and just

outcomes. Um some of the outcomes that could come out

of this um would be teachers support groups are created

to work together in developing an individualized course of action

for each student.

So there could be a yeah.

Step# four is to imagine equitable and just outcomes.

Teachers can form support groups um in which they work

together in developing an individualized course of action for each

student. The school could also develop a school wide initiative

that concentrates on school culture rather than simply reward or

punishment. Um And teachers would be provided with frequent P.

D. With concrete steps how to address different behavioral concerns.

Step# five is to brainstorm immediate term solutions.

So some of the immediate solutions would be to form

a teacher support group with a great level in which

they bring storm classroom management solutions.

Um perhaps they could begin by setting a 10 minute

slot during their great level meetings where everybody just um

talks about what is working in their class regarding classroom

management and where they give each other support and ideas

on how to deal with certain behavioral issues.

Another immediate solution would be to select a mentor for

the students, so maybe a teacher which they already connect

with, maybe another staff member or an older students that

could mentor the student.

Step# six is to bring storm long-term solutions.

So some of the long-term solutions would be to set

up school white initiatives to culture.

To cultivate.

Step number six is to bring storm long term solutions.

So some long term solutions would be to set up

school white initiatives to cultivate a positive school climate and

to maybe set up a program where mentor bodies or

groups of teachers support students with behavioral challenges.

Step number six is to brainstorm long term solutions.

So one solution would be to set a school wide

initiative to cultivate positive school climate and also to set

up mentor buddies or mentor groups to support teachers with

students with behavioral challenges.

So it would be a school white thing where teachers

are comfortable sharing their struggles and they won't be judged

and they would just support each other and support the

students. And step# seven is to craft a plan

of action.

So some of the steps that I could probably take

would be to support teachers with students with behavioral challenges.

So holding in chickens with updates.

Another thing would be to set up a school wide

initiative with buy in from all staff members and some

of the things that would be brainstorm would be, how

are we going to motivate and inspire our students?

How do we celebrate them daily and how do we

make them feel belonged, saved and loved?

So this would be a conversation with all the staff

members where you come up with a plan to have

on how to address um, the needs of students.

We would set up individualized plans of action for each

student. Um, we would have staff meetings MPD that specifically

addresses behavior concerns and how to deal with certain behaviors

and um, to specifically address misconceptions that teachers may hold

towards students.

So inspire teachers and to have them get away from

the mentality of some students are just bad or some

students don't want to do any better.

When reading this case study, I could really remember some

of the conversations that I've had with my colleagues and

a lot of colleagues being very frustrated at the lack

of support and taking that out on the students and

thinking that, you know, that student is just, that's just

how they are and there's nothing that can be done

about that behavior.

Um, sometimes I have experienced similar um, feelings towards students

that I just have tried multiple things and and things

haven't worked, but I do acknowledge that my frustration might

be um, influencing my actions and students and Children are

very perceptive and they can feel a teacher's attitude.

So in changing our own attitudes towards students, we can

in turn have to be able to produce more possible

outcomes for the students where they feel safe and protected

and their behavior will eventually get better.

So this was very eye opening and really guides me

to a lot of self reflection.

So I'm very thankful for this book.
