  1. Hi everybody.
  2. My name is Sana Manier and today I'll be sharing
  3. with you leadership value to include all students.
  4. Let's get started.
  5. First thing is the word equity equity to me means
  6. making sure every student has the resources and support they
  7. need to be successful.
  8. But how do we get these resources and support?
  9. Well, you need to know all of your students.
  10. You need to know each and every individual and to
  11. do that.
  12. You need to make sure you have students empower their
  13. voices and share their experiences as the facilitator.
  14. How will you do that?
  15. There's various resources.
  16. There's various websites.
  17. For example, we used a website called flip grid dot
  18. com, which the students absolutely loved.
  19. It's actually a website used for anything.
  20. You could use it for activities, morning meetings, reading responses
  21. or math activities.
  22. Students have the ability to upload a video and share
  23. their thoughts.
  24. Also, they may comment on the other students and responses
  25. as well.
  26. The best thing is that they share their experiences and
  27. their voices are heard.
  28. Next thing is the classroom climate create a safe classroom
  29. climate, pause address and discuss.
  30. Let's go a little, let's go a little deeper in
  31. that one.
  32. So next thing is to acknowledge every student acknowledge every
  33. holiday, use individual paired and group activities in your lesson.
  34. Next thing is to value relationships.
  35. Students who feel safe in the classroom will perform better
  36. and gain your respect.
  37. Use activities such as a morning greeting, making connections, smiling
  38. often also connecting with the families.
  39. This is the most important one to connect with the
  40. families. Have some fun things in your classroom.
  41. For example, we do something called joke of the day
  42. where students are able to, you know, share a joke
  43. or I'll say the joke of the day.
  44. We take time and we listen to them.
  45. We show our we show our authentic self.
  46. For example, I'm a mom, I have a six year
  47. old, I have a three year old and some days
  48. when I have a bad hair day, like my students
  49. will be like, miss me or what happened to you.
  50. And I'll say, you know, I forgot my lunch, I
  51. was running around and dropped my keys.
  52. Just have like a simple situation and just make it
  53. very um, take a simple situation and just kind of
  54. elaborate and you know, just kind of make it like
  55. as if the world is falling apart.
  56. So the kids can relate to you have a very
  57. simple situation and just kind of elaborate it and make
  58. it more dramatic.
  59. So the students can be, you know, relatable to you.
  60. Oh my God, this is where you have such a
  61. bad day today.
  62. Mhm Another thing is when students respect their teacher, they
  63. feel motivated to try hard because they don't want to
  64. disappoint. You're kind of like a family member to them,
  65. You're kind of like family to them in the school
  66. environment. Next thing, the next thing we're going to look
  67. at is champion the needs of students and community.
  68. You want to have a parent engagement as much as
  69. possible, be transparent and build their trust.
  70. For example, during the snowstorm this year, in february, I
  71. reached out to all of my parents and I knew
  72. that some needed shelter because of their electricity, some needed
  73. supplies, some needed food.
  74. The little the little step I took just to reach
  75. out to the parents really impacted my families and I've
  76. gained so much connection.
  77. They, the little effort I took just to text my
  78. families to make sure they're okay.
  79. Really went a long way.
  80. We built all these relationships.
  81. they were reaching out to me, making sure their child
  82. completed their online assignment.
  83. So it's these little things that make a really great
  84. deal. The next thing is to volunteer show your face
  85. other than the classroom.
  86. For example, we had the Covid vaccine um given out
  87. to the family.
  88. So I volunteered.
  89. They had a lot of questions like, oh my God,
  90. what happens to like what happens to your arm?
  91. Just make them feel comfortable, you know, hurt.
  92. They were saying, oh what happened to you?
  93. You know, what happened to your arm?
  94. Just having a little conversation here and there.
  95. Just made them feel a little more comfortable to make
  96. sure to get this vaccine.
  97. Another thing I do is I post a lot on
  98. my teacher, instagram and my twitter page.
  99. So the families are able to understand what's going on
  100. in my classroom, what activities I'm doing.
  101. So it kind of makes them connected in a little
  102. bit. So it kind of gives them that connection outside
  103. of the classroom and they kind of know what's going
  104. on because students sometimes don't share all of the activities
  105. we do.
  106. So it helps them and keeps them in the loop
  107. of our classroom posting on twitter or my teacher instagram
  108. really helps my parents communicate with their Children better, so
  109. they know what activities were doing and you know, and
  110. it kind of gives them, it kind of keeps them
  111. in the loop of what's happening in the school.
  112. Always remember that it takes a village, collaborate with your
  113. team, communicate, communicate with your parents, communicate with your co
  114. workers, your admin, your families, it's all about talking and
  115. you know, learning and listening.
  116. So that is all for today.
  117. And I hope you guys enjoyed my way of making
  118. the classroom a little more.
  119. Oh my God, Well, I hope you guys enjoyed my
  120. weight and practices to keep the classroom.
  121. Uh huh.
  122. I hope you guys enjoyed my practice is to make
  123. sure I include all in my classroom.
  124. Thank you so much for watching and have a wonderful
  125. day. Bye bye.
