    Lets expand on Q1 a bit. Q1b: How can we show equity and fairness in a classroom? We're looking for lots of examples here #IEedchat
  • MathButler Jan 30 @ 10:38 PM EST
    So do Ss see a need for change? Or is the world "good" as is? #IEedchat

    Q3: Ts need to be objective. Present both sides fairly, but help Ss learn empathy. That paves ways to peace. #IEedchat
  • Chrisjlara24 Jan 30 @ 10:39 PM EST
    A1: I've had some of the most amazing dialogue with my Ss this year where they have expressed so much about what they hope to see #IEedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Jan 30 @ 10:39 PM EST
    A1: I guarantee you that abused & neglected children see a need for change. Teachers ideas of needed change go in many directions. #IEedchat

    Q2 in one minute. #IEedchat
  • MathButler Jan 30 @ 10:40 PM EST
    A1b: not about "equity sticks" it IS about celebrating all responses and what they bring. Incorrect responses still have value. #IEedchat
  • rguztec Jan 30 @ 10:40 PM EST
    I think they view the world differently, so they can see what should change and what should stay the same. #IEedchat

    Q2 in one minute. #IEedchat
  • MathButler Jan 30 @ 10:41 PM EST
    Gather lots of responses and sythesize, compare, highlight them. Avoid saying "NO" and moving on. Let Ss know you hear/see them. #IEedchat
  • mathkaveli Jan 30 @ 10:41 PM EST
    Yes! And I always wonder if our parents said the same of our generation...and their parents of them...#ieedchat
    In reply to @MathButler
  • BaynesHeidi Jan 30 @ 10:41 PM EST
    I think certain tech tools give us the ability to give voices to the students that normally would not speak up. #ieedchat
    • ieedchat - Moderator Jan 30 @ 10:38 PM EST
      Lets expand on Q1 a bit. Q1b: How can we show equity and fairness in a classroom? We're looking for lots of examples here #IEedchat
  • gmcwhorterVVUSD Jan 30 @ 10:41 PM EST
    Q1: Couldn't open doc, but YES. I believe Ts and Ss feel we need positive change for many reasons: trends, climate, peace, etc. #IEedchat
  • ieedchat - Moderator Jan 30 @ 10:42 PM EST
    Q2: What threats are there to discussing peace in a classroom? #IEedchat
  • Chrisjlara24 Jan 30 @ 10:42 PM EST
    A1b: I try to give my Ss a voice through projects where they can create things based off their strengths and desires #IEedchat
  • mathkaveli Jan 30 @ 10:42 PM EST
    I do love the film, Mandela is a man that deserves way more respect and recognition for what he did for humanity #ieedchat
    In reply to @gmcwhorterVVUSD
  • jswilliams Jan 30 @ 10:42 PM EST
    A2: I would discuss peace in my class. We would create the culture in which Ss can express themselves and learn from each other. #IEedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Jan 30 @ 10:42 PM EST
    A2:Ts often feel that they might be deemed as being too political or too religious when promoting ideas of peace.Many play it safe #IEedchat
  • giveawaynobble Jan 30 @ 10:43 PM EST
    A1b: I try to give my Ss a voice through projects where they can create things based off their strengths and desires #IEedchat
  • MathButler Jan 30 @ 10:43 PM EST
    It's not natural, getting younglings to see beyond narcissism, that maturity needs nourishment. #IEedchat
    In reply to @mathkaveli
  • DeatraLee_Edu Jan 30 @ 10:43 PM EST
    A1: I believe most Ts will say yes, I don't think many Ss will say society needs to change though. #IEedchat
  • mathkaveli Jan 30 @ 10:43 PM EST
    A1b I am still thinking about if equity as one of many soft skills we seem to be shining the light on to uncover for Ss #ieedchat
  • paulinesgarcia Jan 30 @ 10:44 PM EST
    Q1: Yes. We need to teach kindness and celebrate differences. #IEedchat
  • jswilliams Jan 30 @ 10:44 PM EST
    A2: You want your students to go home and talk to their parents. And maybe the children can help parents have a change of heart. #IEedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Jan 30 @ 10:44 PM EST
    A2 revisited: teaching peace in the Classroom is a great incubator for teaching peace globally. #IEedchat
  • mathkaveli Jan 30 @ 10:44 PM EST
    Yes, fostering that growth is crucial for their growth. I'm wondering about that process #ieedchat
    In reply to @MathButler
  • Chrisjlara24 Jan 30 @ 10:44 PM EST
    A2: our Ss are so open minded but I've seen Ts strike down this openness because it goes against their own views #IEedchat
  • rguztec Jan 30 @ 10:44 PM EST
    A2:Someone mentioned the influence narrow minded parents have on their child's view. It can become a hurdle when talking peace #IEedchat
  • MathButler Jan 30 @ 10:44 PM EST
    Totally agree! give the quiet voice a chance to participate. #IEedchat
    In reply to @BaynesHeidi
  • shane_pinnell Jan 30 @ 10:44 PM EST
    A1: Greater exposure to what's going on all around us may shine a light where none existed, increasing our own desire for change. #ieedchat
  • rguztec Jan 30 @ 10:45 PM EST
    You are correct, I have witnessed that several times. #IEedchat
    In reply to @Chrisjlara24
  • ieedchat - Moderator Jan 30 @ 10:45 PM EST
    Another Q follow up. Q2b: What can we do to encourage discourse on peace in the classroom? #IEedchat
  • DeatraLee_Edu Jan 30 @ 10:45 PM EST
    A1b: Ss choose how they demonstrate their knowledge, use tools like Padlet for 100% S participation. #IEedchat
    • ieedchat - Moderator Jan 30 @ 10:38 PM EST
      Lets expand on Q1 a bit. Q1b: How can we show equity and fairness in a classroom? We're looking for lots of examples here #IEedchat
  • mathkaveli Jan 30 @ 10:46 PM EST
    a2 My Ss echo sentiments of home w/out full understanding of implications of their words on political spectrum and otherwise #ieedchat
  • MathButler Jan 30 @ 10:46 PM EST
    A2: fear trying to remain neutral, facilitating convos on what "peace" is - bring out diff perspectives, don't want to push agenda #IEedchat
  • paulinesgarcia Jan 30 @ 10:46 PM EST
    Q2: There are no threats, just opportunities to better understand our fellow men and women. #IEedchat
  • rguztec Jan 30 @ 10:46 PM EST
    There is a song from The Strokes that has the lyrics"Just because we disagree, doesn't mean we cant get along" #IEedchat
    In reply to @AshleyMSJC5
  • jswilliams Jan 30 @ 10:46 PM EST
    .@mathkaveli Yes. I have found that too and hope that through my example I can change their mind. #IEedchat
    In reply to @mathkaveli
  • mathkaveli Jan 30 @ 10:47 PM EST
    Yes! Ss saying one thing not knowing its implication, while ^5 the Ss from population they just insulted #ieedchat
    In reply to @rguztec
  • mark_synnott Jan 30 @ 10:47 PM EST
    A2: The main threat is Ss arguing over different opinions. We need to keep teaching them how to do this peacefully with respect. #ieedchat
  • Chrisjlara24 Jan 30 @ 10:47 PM EST
    A2b: give credence to all views. And give the resources needed to look at all views surrounding topics #IEedchat
  • MathButler Jan 30 @ 10:47 PM EST
    That it needs more light shone on? That it is and we just don't talk about it? Where you at with this? #IEedchat
    In reply to @mathkaveli
  • shane_pinnell Jan 30 @ 10:48 PM EST
    A1b: Improve equity by demonstrating mastery using tools we are most comfortable with. No longer one size fits all? #ieedchat

    Absolutely, I also like to ask probing Qs, no judgement, no right/wrong, just honest curiosity #ieedchat
    In reply to @jswilliams
  • jswilliams Jan 30 @ 10:48 PM EST
    .@Chrisjlara24 Yes, but all views don't deserve equal footing. Holocaust deniers don't carry any sway over the truth. #IEedchat
    In reply to @Chrisjlara24
  • AshleyMSJC5 Jan 30 @ 10:49 PM EST
    A2b: Ss have to be taught explicitly about the value of empathy, diplomacy, and fairness while being taught the subject matter. #IEedchat

  • ieedchat - Moderator Jan 30 @ 10:51 PM EST
    Q3: What is appropriate classroom conversation about peace regarding current events of our world now? #IEedchat
  • DeatraLee_Edu Jan 30 @ 10:51 PM EST
    A2b: socratic seminars, create an environment Ss are comfortable sharing #IEedchat
  • mathkaveli Jan 30 @ 10:51 PM EST
