ower to conclude a unit once they felt that they had sufficiently addressed their inquiries
interesting....the conversation will never feel unfinished or cut short
-
The group collaboratively agreed to establish a “safety protocol” in which we immediately pause a discussion and play a lighthearted team-building game. Anyone in the class could initiate the safety protocol if they felt overwhelmed with the content of the course
love this. Also props to the students for thinking ahead and being aware of the toll topics like this can take on them mentally.

I began to sense that such rigid planning might inhibit deep student-centered inquiry.
this can be very uncomfortable, giving up control. What if they have questions you cannot answer?
-
student-centered.
an inquiry based teaching

For the next two weeks we discussed ways to create spaces for students to express their voices and identities in the classroom.
giving students space to express themselves freely and safely is the foundation of fostering social and emotional learning. We are here to teach students their feelings are valid. The classroom is not confined to four walls...integration of the outside it needed. Students do not stay in our class forever, they need skills to face the world when they are not inside our four walls.

straight white cisgender able-bodied man,
something I am currently grappling with. The student population is mostly black and I am a white woman. How can I as a white woman close that gap? Even if I use teaching as "a window and a mirror"...is that enough?

difficult words or unknown allusions in a text
my elementary class is actually currently working on what to do when confronted with a new word they do not know in their text, and they are taught to write it on a post-it for reference later. This is a great strategy to teach students how to mark the words they do not know

Annotations
love this idea--not only are you modeling for the students what annotation looks and feels like, you are giving them guidance while they actually read the content and complete the assignment
-
outlines various ways that people have annotated throughout history, including in formal education contexts
we have always been told, do not write in the book/text. I am wondering what would happen if we allowed students to take notes on their text...would we need a space to do it digitally? My thought is yes--but maybe the first step may be to let them tangibly annotate
