Lauren Tomasetti Intro to Ed/S&S

This current connection was over the reading, “Wide Awakeness and the Moral Life”. When I first saw the word awakeness, I thought it definitely couldn’t mean the same as the word “awake”. Because when most people think of the word “awake” they think of not being asleep. I went backwards and started with moral life […]

I wanted to cover the topic of school funding. I think the money that the schools have, provides, and gets is a very important part of how the school runs and how is has in impact on the students and staff. American Rescue Plan (2021) The act provided one hundred twenty three billion in new, […]

This was our third and final current connection. We covered the articles from pages 273-301. I focused on pages 279-283. But if we start from the beginning, the first article was “From Outrage to Organizing” by Ikechukwo Onyema. This was about police brutality and the freedom of schools.

My groups current connection was pages 189-204. The section I covered was pages 193-197, “I Believe You”, by Michelle Strater Gunderson. On all of my Ed 100 current connections, I always start by adding a little bit of background information since they normally start with stories. The story that was used in this section was […]

My group had the article, “But That’s Just Good Teaching” by Gloria Ladson-Billings. The main objectives that we wanted everyone to take away from this was to understand culturally relevant pedagogy, know the importance of it, and the three criteria for culturally relevant pedagogy. We wanted everyone to see how it may occur inside the […]
