"We Want To Do More Than Survive" (Bettina Love)

Thursday October 17, 2024 2:30pm - 3:50pm EDT

Yellow Classroom (High Museum)

“We Want To Do More Than Survive” We want to do more than survive is the title of the best seller written by Bettina Love. Her research centers around the study of the inequalities in the educational system. The ability to have the difficult conversation about the shortcomings of the educational system regarding minority students and their failing hopes and dreams. The discussion and hands on activities allow space for anyone who wishes to make a genuine change in our current systemic failures. The activities and discussion invite participants to engage in the journey toward healing, justice and revolution. Examination of both We Want To Do More Than Survive and Punished for Dreaming is an invitation to listen, critique, heal, and fight for the schools and world we deserve. This opportunity provides space for reflection, rage, sorrow, dreams, and questions.Difficult discussions encourage you to feel, think deeply, and engage in meaningful dialogue and action. To address the inclusion aspect more specifically, We will also examine how neurodivergent children are valued and seen. The goal is for participants to leave with a renewed sense of hope and ideas to address equity, diversity, and inclusion in their personal lives and educational forums shedding the fear of having those difficult conversations that foster systemic change.

Using Virtual Simulation with Pre-service Teachers

Thursday October 17, 2024 4:00pm - 4:50pm EDT

Green Classroom (High Museum)

The presentation explores the increase in confidence and self-efficacy in using Mixed Reality Simulations (MRS) to prepare pre-service teachers. Currently our pre-service candidates have field experiences, and clinical experiences of being in the classroom with students and the mentor teacher. They are not allowed to sit in and observe or participate in parent teacher conferences, 504 meetings, IEP meetings, student behavior/discipline meetings, or communications with parents (outside of those volunteering). The Mixed Reality Simulator provides a safe (virtual) environment for pre-service teacher to practice these conversations, record, watch, reflect, discuss, and learn from their experience. Pre-service teachers stand in front of a screen and talk directly with the simulation (see the picture). The simulation has been preset with a scenario. For example: the scenario may be a parent/teacher conference where the student is being unsafe in the classroom, or bullying another student or the parent is complaining about the student’s grades. The experience is recorded. The pre-service teacher participating then watches and writes a reflection about the experience, challenges, etc. There will be a MRS experience at the beginning of the semester as well as the end of the semester, allowing students time to learn, have their field experience in-between. Additionally, there will be class discussions on the experiences that will be audio recorded with field notes, to allow for comparison on the pre and post experiences. Student reflections will be artifacts of data as well. The presentation will include a sample recording of the MRS experience as well as reflections from the students and an analysis of the student reflections. The hope is this new technology will build confidence and better prepare our pre-service teachers.

Establishing Connection Through Collaborative Studio Making: Working Alongside Students as an Artist

Friday October 18, 2024 9:00am - 9:50am EDT

Circle Room (MAB)

How does working alongside students during studio time build relationships and foster a community within the studio? For art educators Morgan Clifton and Victoria Goeckel, their job as art educators is to nurture connection and collaboration with and amongst students by working alongside them as artists and mentors, beyond the traditional interpretation of “teaching”. When students step into their classrooms, they are transported to a space that serves as a shared studio for the teacher-artist and the student artists. For Morgan and Victoria, this practice shapes up differently within their respective high school and elementary spaces. For Morgan, this practice has evolved into a treasured tradition after a student jokingly asked her if they could be her for the day, igniting a revolution in collaborative studio making. Each Friday, a student has the opportunity to take on the mantle of teacher for the day, visit peers one-on-one, check in, talk about ideas, offer feedback and suggestions, while Morgan creates alongside the other students. For Victoria, this practice is best embodied in the annual school mural that is created with the year’s fifth grade students. Each year the fifth grade students spend months planning, drafting, and voting on a new school mural, followed by priming, sketching, and painting the mural before revealing it to the school community each May. Students participate in each step alongside Victoria, learning the practical skills of a working artist and finding permanent ownership and legacy of a space in the school. Intentional communal art education experiences such as these, when students and teachers share their workspace and artistic practice, encourages conversation and exploration of the artmaking process between peers and teachers alike as artists working collaboratively. This workshop will explore these practices and help other educators seek out these opportunities within their own classrooms.

As the world continuously evolves at a rapid pace, we’re asked to look at traditional mediums in new and innovative ways.
