    Looking at the graphic I posted - describe what #equity means to you? #isedchat
  • gephillip Nov 2 @ 9:07 PM EDT
    Equity means all participants have the same access. #isedchat
  • lcarroll94 - Moderator Nov 2 @ 9:07 PM EDT
    First Thursday of every month! šŸ˜ƒ #isedchat

  • Learn21Tech Nov 2 @ 9:07 PM EDT
    Here is another one - what looks different? How does this graphic relate to schools? #isedchat
  • gephillip Nov 2 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    Hey Ellen! How are you? #isedchat

  • lcarroll94 - Moderator Nov 2 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    Graphic really made me think. Giving everyone that same box doesnā€™t make it equal. Takes different boxes to make it ā€œequalā€ #isedchat

  • lndeutsch Nov 2 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    Equity- all getting what is needed,not all getting the same #isedchat
  • lndeutsch Nov 2 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    Hello. Iā€™m good and you? :) #isedchat
    In reply to @gephillip, @Learn21Tech
  • Learn21Tech Nov 2 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    Equity is different than equality - it means some of the players actually have more... what THEY need to be successful. #isedchat
  • gephillip Nov 2 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    Equity is getting what one needs. Not the same for everyone. #isedchat
  • gephillip Nov 2 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    I think equity is hard for my kids to understand. They think they should all get the same thing. #isedchat
  • Learn21Tech Nov 2 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    What about this image? What does it mean to you? #isedchat
  • lndeutsch Nov 2 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    i think my tweetdeck is running slooowly tonight. #isedchat
  • markemoran Nov 2 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    In this, more is provided to those who struggle, w/nothing taken away from those flourishing. Equity should not mean leveling. #isedchat
    In reply to @Learn21Tech
  • nathan_stevens Nov 2 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    Equality still has its limitations. #isedchat
    In reply to @Learn21Tech
  • Learn21Tech Nov 2 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    Makes sense.. some may call this privledge... help Ss make sense of the justice graphic and discuss privilege. #isedchat
    In reply to @gephillip
  • Learn21Tech Nov 2 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    Say more about leveling #isedchat
    In reply to @markemoran
  • lndeutsch Nov 2 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    Interesting. Hadnā€™t seen this image before. Where is it from? #isedchat
    In reply to @Learn21Tech
  • Learn21Tech Nov 2 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    Equitable and justice focused classrooms/schools are grounded in the lives of their students. #isedchat
  • Learn21Tech Nov 2 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    Q1: what are some examples from your school of how classrooms+curriculum is grounded in reality pedagogy (lives of Ss)? #isedchat
  • gephillip Nov 2 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    The justice image has me stumped. To me, it seems like one must do what one must to get what one needs. #isedchat
  • gephillip Nov 2 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A1: Our advisory program focuses on social/emotional learning and we focus on what is going on in Ss lives. #isedchat
  • Learn21Tech Nov 2 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    The justice image is about breaking down systems that oppress Ss - particularly marginalized Ss that are PoC #isedchat
  • lcarroll94 - Moderator Nov 2 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    It made me think, too. Maybe... we all must work together to make sure that everyone gets what they need?? #isedchat

    Tear down the barrier. Let's envision liberation. #isedchat
    In reply to @Learn21Tech
  • nathan_stevens Nov 2 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    I would also say the equity pic robs the kids of the journey of learning #isedchat

  • lndeutsch Nov 2 @ 9:18 PM EDT

    #isedchat sorry folks something odd is going on w twitter
  • nathan_stevens Nov 2 @ 9:22 PM EDT
    Your question was so good that it broke twitter #isedchat
    In reply to @Learn21Tech
  • gephillip Nov 2 @ 9:22 PM EDT
    I think itā€™s @TweetDeck #isedchat
    In reply to @Learn21Tech, @TweetDeck
  • Learn21Tech Nov 2 @ 9:22 PM EDT
    Yes!!! About breaking the systems that oppress Ss, make them have lack of pride and make them leave culture at the door #isedchat

  • nathan_stevens Nov 2 @ 9:24 PM EDT

    Q2: How might teaching and learning equip Ss to "talk back" to the world and pose essential questions? #isedchat
  • Learn21Tech Nov 2 @ 9:24 PM EDT
  • lcarroll94 - Moderator Nov 2 @ 9:25 PM EDT

  • lndeutsch Nov 2 @ 9:25 PM EDT
    Tear down barriers. Not just creating equity fixes (if that makes sense). Break the system that cr8s inequity and injustice #isedchat

    In reply to @Learn21Tech
  • gephillip Nov 2 @ 9:29 PM EDT
    A2: We need 2 collaborate more with outside sources 2 help Ss C real world context. Sharing within walls is not scholastic anymore #isedchat
  • Learn21Tech Nov 2 @ 9:29 PM EDT
    A2: critique of social norms - critical thinking, making and doing. Field learning, empathy building... #isedchat
  • gephillip Nov 2 @ 9:30 PM EDT
    Yes it is. But how do we get our colleagues to recognize this or even our admin/parent body?#isedchat
    In reply to @lndeutsch, @lcarroll94
  • Learn21Tech Nov 2 @ 9:30 PM EDT
    Yes! So true... needs to be real life and relevant. #isedchat
    In reply to @gephillip
  • gephillip Nov 2 @ 9:30 PM EDT
    I think we even need our younglings doing Field Learning. #isedchat
    In reply to @Learn21Tech
  • bivey Nov 2 @ 9:30 PM EDT
    A2 Giving kids genuine voice. Also, hearing them out when they suggest change. Explain if you still disagree, & sometimes change. #isedchat
  • Learn21Tech Nov 2 @ 9:30 PM EDT
    Q3: How might literature, projects or experiences support social justice focused curriculum? Examples? #isedchat

    A3: We just finished reading Refugee with our 5th and 6th graders last month about how different ppl demonstrate leadership #isedchat
  • lndeutsch Nov 2 @ 9:33 PM EDT
    I think we need to start by checking in w/our own identities, biases, perspectives. Start from w/in. #takesvulnerability #isedchat
    In reply to @gephillip, @lcarroll94
  • Learn21Tech Nov 2 @ 9:34 PM EDT

  • bivey Nov 2 @ 9:38 PM EDT
    A5 Educate ourselves, work with the kids to set norms, build on their interests & instincts for fairness and search for identity. #isedchat

    What other questions about equity and SJ in teaching, learning, schools etc do you have? #isedchat
  • bivey Nov 2 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    I can also pass on this good advice from @ValeriaBrownEdu - start by working on your own internal biases. #isedchat
  • gephillip Nov 2 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    How do we get the conversation started when others donā€™t think its an issue? #isedchat
    In reply to @Learn21Tech
  • danieltr83 Nov 2 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    I would show them sitting on the boxes engaged in a conversation about their experiences on the outside. Just as a first step. #isedchat
