Jennifer, thanks so much. Unfortunately, I must leave until later but I wanted to add an article I wrote last years tht may be a good reference: 8/18/21 Borders to Bridges: Awakening Critical Consciousness. Radical Teacher, 120, 32-41. https://doi.org/10.5195/rt.2021.871

Thank you Lynn!

44:22
English.. My Terrible Fear shares a good reminder of fear of being judged, common for anyone during teenage years and more acutely felt by NNS

44:39
too full--can't add.

44:42
The jam board is full, so I want to say that the strength of these people is fantastic.

44:44
I'm not trying to be rude but it is difficult to listen to the students' audio while you are talking.

45:19
question: can we get permission to use these spoken stories as listening activities in our ESOL classrooms?

45:19
My apologies you can also read the stories or mute me for a moment.

45:33
Bookbags story - Favorite quote - Turn frustration in to motivation

45:37
@Laura absolutely!!!

45:50
Also in a few months Borders to Bridges Arts-Based Curriculum for Social Justice - Belonging, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Spvereignty, Reciprocity will finally be available.

45:56
People can also go to page 2 on the Jamboard to post.

45:56
@Lesley I als read bookbags and it was a relatable experience

46:02
We would love for you to use the website stories and Reimagining Migrations questions

46:23
So sad to hear about how students see their accent as a source of shame rather than part of their identity. :(

46:43
Joylyn Ndungu story is very similar to mines. I was ridiculed and bullied when I had to do oral presentations for my class. My accent was seeing as an impairment even later as an adult in the workplace.

46:45
I listened to Thanh Lam’s story and it resonates with me because he said he has had so many questions both in Vietnam and in the US and is still exploring them. I was thinking when newcomer students like him get sufficient and effective language support at school they could navigate a big change in their life easily getting more answers to their own questions!

46:49
I got a few students from the unaccompanied refugee minor program that transferred from Lowell. . .I wonder if any participated :)

46:50
Green: I really connected with Karla Torres Gonzalez (English...My Terrible Fear) as she learned to focus on learning and speaking English without worry about what others thought.

46:52
I can relate a lot to The Unseen Battle, having came from Kenya in 2nd grade being made fun of and going through the similar transition.

47:32
I can relate to the sense of loss losing your primary language to fit in with American culture.

47:36
@Vania - I completely related to the story bc being in a new space so young, you're left to fend for yourself over what seems like a simple instruction is so complex

47:37
Yea- this is the essential “glue" that ALL students have in common- I do not like to call myself an ESL Teacher, more of a Cultural Awareness Resource,

47:40
It is powerful to hear the students' describe their stories

47:43
Every immigrant student has a story to tell. Not all get to learn English prior to coming here, but it requires great empathy on our part when teaching/helping them to develop self-confidence. -English...My Terrible Fear

Off topic - if one’s parents were both born in a foreign county & thechild is born in US, that child is first generation. If both grandparents were born in foreign country & both parents were born in US the child is 2nd generation immigrant.

01:09:11
Oops,

01:10:42
If both grandparents were born in foreign country the grandchild is 2nd generation

01:11:42
NO Guns at all. GUNs are for Military/Army only not for the civilians. People are not getting this simple, but important idea. When children are killed with guns, it made me upset and very sad. So, just stop guns.

01:12:51
Guns aren't the only weapons used. Only the ones politicized.

01:20:49
In addition to equipping teachers, we need more empowering of the immigrant/refugee parents and families to address issues. You may find my book interesting: Composing Storylines of Possibilities: Immigrant and Refugee Families Navigating School (Family School Community Partnership Issues) shorturl.at/dejp8

Lost audio

01:21:15
I lost audio

01:21:29
lost audio

01:21:38
yes :(

01:22:53
no!

01:23:01
NO

01:23:02
I'm wondering if these types of unfair practices are happening in just certain areas of the country?

01:23:05
No

01:23:15
Given the amount of violence in schools, or possibility of violence, yes we do.

01:23:16
What kind of officers did you say? Didn't catch that

01:23:17
I think SROs are a great addition to schools. We have several and they are invaluable to student relationships and safety of our school.

01:23:21
NO. we need more counselors, not SROS

01:23:25
We need them because we never know who outside the school may have bad intentions but accountability for said officers is very important.

01:23:31
SROs should be part of community building in the schools, They have become a punitive force

01:23:42
As a school Admin, yes they are crucial members of the school community

01:23:42
At my school, our SRO is bilingual, and I introduce my Spanish speaking ELL students to him to be an advocate for them.

01:23:44
We need resource PEOPLE but a uniformed officer does more harm than good. We had a great officer who was Salvadoran, respected by one group of students. . .but the students from other backgrounds didn't always feel the same way.

01:23:45
Yes, with adequate training.

01:23:50
Yes, in my experience the SRO's have been very helpful in my schools.

01:23:56
We have a great SRO who works well with our admin, counselors and is very friendly with our students.

01:24:00
We have them in Troy, Mi--- but they never carry guns, and they are highly trained to work with students - not discipline them

01:24:01
We do need many more counselors.

01:24:03
Training is everything!

01:24:03
I think they do more harm than good

01:24:07
I agree definitely necessary to work with our families and staff

01:24:26
SROs should improve the security of the school. They should NOT get involved in student behavior

01:24:35
more counselors

01:24:43
Not at all!!

01:24:44
Not at all! They should be there just to help with legal issues if they come up!

01:24:54
In Troy, Mi they are not used to discipline students.

01:24:55
Not at all! Misbehavior is an opportunity to teach, not to punish.

01:24:59
SROs should NOT be used to address behaviors or act as a disciplinarian.

01:25:01
I think only if there is violent student behavior, then I would like the SRO to be involved.

01:25:14
No, they shouldn't unless behavior puts ppl in danger

01:25:28
Teachers should not rely on SROs for misbehavior or discipline unless there is a law being broken. Police are law enforcement, not school rules enforcement.

01:25:35
to deal with dangerous behavior

01:25:37
Early interactions with law enforcement set students down that path -- school to prison pipeline

01:25:43
SROs should also be trained annually in the de-escalation processes such as CPI or Safety Care.

01:25:48
Yes, if the behavior is so serious someone is in danger we may need the police. Not necessarily an SRO.

01:25:49
SROs can help with replationships for students who may not have a positive role model in their lives. I have seen this happen.

01:26:06
SRO's need to work within their job description and act as al ally for student's success. They do not always need to appear as a negative to the school. Relationships.

01:26:21
Misbehavior isn't criminal we criminalize students in order to manage the root issues

01:26:24
People in ther countries react dumbfounded when they hear of police IN schools.

01:26:30
They must be highly trained and really enjoy working with teenagers!

01:26:41
Technically SROS role In the setting I taught they were like counselors, listening to children, & being good role model.

01:27:28
Thank you for the insightful responses, everyone! We appreciate you sharing your expertise and experiences!

01:28:09
SROs should be supportive and engaged in education, not simply enforcement - that creates community

01:28:34
We need to look at restorative practices that help re-integrating youth if/when they've made mistakes. I've never seen SROs do restorative work, that's just not their training.

01:29:00
Thank you, all!

01:29:06
Have any questions for Anthony and Jennifer? Post them now! There will be a discussion at the end of the day to answer your questions.

I am glad that this session was presented and needs to be in school districts also

01:29:56
yesss thank you very helpful!

01:30:10
Unfortunately, Denzil, I feel police in schools are making immigrant children feel LESS safe rather than more.

01:30:13
is volume is so much lower

Here's Jalene and Patrick's recently published book Education Across Borders at: shorturl.at/cduzV

01:44:07
We always emphasize that info about a culture is just a "door in" -- not to be confused with truly understanding individual we are working with

01:44:41
@Anita Absolutely!

01:45:26
agree 100%

01:46:07
I would love to know if there is any research/literature/training that deals with equity work with immigrant students of color. There are so many issues with students who come to a place where they suddenly are in the minatory or assumed to be XYZ .

01:46:14
Questions for Jalene or Patrick? Post them here now!

01:46:59
@Anne Eden: I totally agree.

01:49:18
Yes, Dr. Tamerat!!! Funds of Knowledge & Critical Pedagogy are tools for educators to teach and learn WITH their students!

01:50:02
Before you can teach our ELLs, especially SLIFES, we have to form a connection, invest time into knowing them, form a classroom community and a safe environment so they can learn. Then learning can take place.

01:53:01
I think that Bree Picower’s latest book, titled Reading, Writing and Racism would be a great start!

01:53:03
SLIFES?

01:53:53
Students with Limited or Interrupted Formal Education (SLIFES)

01:54:27
SLIFES-students with limited or interrupted formal education

01:55:56
Some of the refugee HS students in our Afterschool program are resistant to participating in activities that focus on culture and life experiences of their countries of origin either because they were young enough when first came to US that have little knowledge or recollection of country of origin and/or are less willing to "go there" given previous sometimes traumatic experiences that they or their parents may not want to share because not yet ready.

01:58:21
comparing transnational experiences can be wonderful ways to promote respectful curioisity

02:00:36
Type your questions here in the chat box for our speakers!

02:01:08
Yes! Transnational Funds of Knowledge! I recently published a chapter where we discuss this idea https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9781003191575-11/gone-south-applying-anzalduan-frameworks-metonymy-metaphor-mythologies-understand-language-transnational-youth-steve-daniel-przymus-josé-omar-serna-gutiérrez

02:01:15
Yes, SLIFES have so many experiences that they bring to the classroom!

02:01:30
What is your answer to those who push back saying we need to use OUR culture not theirs, be responsive to our experience because they (the immigrants) are here and need to "fit" in.

02:01:49
From @Omar: Yes! Transnational Funds of Knowledge! I recently published a chapter where we discuss this idea https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9781003191575-11/gone-south-applying-anzalduan-frameworks-metonymy-metaphor-mythologies-understand-language-transnational-youth-steve-daniel-przymus-josé-omar-serna-gutiérrez

02:01:56
Three minutes left.

02:02:40
@federico: I'd inquire more about what they mean by "our" culture since the US is made up of SO many different cultures.

02:04:48
@Serena, I am referring to the typical voice of mostly white conservative educators who think White culture IS American Culture.

02:05:34
Wrap up.

02:05:35
YES! I lived in two different dictatorships. When I speak of the signs that concern me, many people open their eyes for the first time.

02:06:45
We saw this talking to educators in Cuba

02:08:49
YES, @Adam. Historical perspective is missing altogether.

02:09:04
Thanks

02:09:11
Thank you!

02:09:24
Awesome conversation and panel. Thank you

02:14:19
In particular, LONG ISLAND, one of the most segregated places in the UNited States

02:16:23
My students, families, and I have to deal with negative behaviors from office staff and a few administrators and teachers.

02:18:53
No late than 2months ago , I signed up to help immigrants with ESL and was under estimated a white teacher . So even educators of colors are fustrated. about

02:26:12
This is a fascinating topic. I have observed this in my experience as an educator. Teachers who appreciate diversity but don't take the time to educate themselves about the differences in the races that make up their school.

02:28:11
Not just in education--it's pervasive!

02:28:34
As an Asian American, 2nd generation immigrant educator who is multilingual, I am hyper aware of the "races' in my classes but have had to accept that other educators may not be.

02:29:46
I hear from colleagues * I don’t see color * and I don’t really know how to respond. It seems that they mean well but are unaware of their racism

02:30:24
Yes Alan! How do we respond to that?

02:30:47
From Kathleen: Yes Alan! How do we respond to that?

02:31:55
@alan: i feel like people say this to mean “I'm not racist because I don't see color.”

02:32:22
Dorothy Height, Civil Rights Leader, used to say that she wanted us to SEE her color. She would say, you cannot ignore the color of my skin. If you pretend you don't see color you don't see me.

02:32:31
Agreed.

02:32:33
(I am paraphrasing, of course.)

02:33:13
@federico: YES!

02:33:19
There needs to be a safe place to be able to talk about what we think/believe, and acknowledge that we want to learn, to "try out" new ideas for us. But that kind of space can be hard to find when it is driven from the top down.

What a great presentation thank you

02:34:03
This is a helpful presentation. Thank you Alaisa!

👏 Thank you Alaisa!

02:34:25
Great insights, thank you!

Thanks for sharing the quote Federico! I share about my culture and background with my students in lessons and they seem to appreciate it even though the majority of them are Latinx.

I can't access the padlet. Request access is required.

02:37:09
I don't have access to the padlet

02:37:10
So true, Alaisa. I am from Argentina (neighbor); also lived in Spain, but it was only when I came to this country that I had to identify myself by race. Never thought before.

02:37:17
Sim, muito obrigada Alaisa for the presentation! Many of my students are Brazileiros so I am learning the culture and Portugese as well.

02:37:30
Obrigada, Maya!!!

02:37:40

02:40:24
is this the same content that was in the previous slide with table?

02:40:25
Lack of agreement on DEFINITIONS: equitable learning environments (what does that mean exactly?) Anti-racist pedagogy--what do we mean in ESOL class?

02:40:26
I can access, but there is no way to create a post or a reply to each of the points.

02:40:47
We go round and round…

02:40:59
It should work now. Sorry everyone and thanks for your patience

02:41:04
Padlet is public now!

02:41:15
the school has trouble getting on the same page

02:41:33
All kids should be given what they need to learn and grow. Families need lots of communication and support.

02:41:41
It takes courage to challenge racism

02:41:47
Teach students that there is One Race - Human Race.

02:42:04
I'm a new ESL teacher and longtime Museum docent. In our museum teaching on global art history, there was a strong bias through both commission and omission on cultural superiority, with Euro-American cultures predominating. There was no institutional awareness of this until we volunteers made a lot of noise about it. Still very much a work in progress.

02:42:51
I find that what is useful is not necessarily to have a definition but to agree on what definition the community wants to use.

02:43:36
@jatinder. That is the Science. But unfortunately human nature does not often follow science

02:44:18
Even among those of us who think "we know" there is no complete agreement. So it is better to engage in a conversation and agree on our own definition of these terms and work from there.

02:44:33
Often, online resources and images are easy to find with white subjects/characters and trickier to find with POC subjects. This can lead to class material not representing our student body. Would that be an example of cultural racism?

02:44:46
I notice that it is a topic that generally gets ignored in education. Another trend that I have noticed as an ESL teacher is that the majority of my students' parents have listed their child's ethnicity as white when it is clearly not. It makes me sad that they do not represent themselves with pride in their color...

02:45:23
Speaking of dress codes, another sensitive/controversial topic is that of hairstyles...

02:45:40
YEs

02:45:42
As a school counselor, my work is done in private and its hard to learn how to improve my practice. . .unless my student are brave enough to discuss this with me. I had a brave student call me out on something that GREATLY impacted my work. I was hurt at first, but went on to really have a great relationship with this student and thanked her for your contribution to my reflection and practice.

02:46:14
After listening to the sessions this morning I feel like this is an overwhelming task. I can't quickly change my racism, and is the "informed community" patient with those who are growing and learning?? Do we start from the top or must it start from the bottom? Does it start with small groups simply talking openly about our biases and actively pursuing ways to live outside that?

02:47:08
Many of my adult immigrant students use the word "American" to describe white people only. I'm constantly emphasizing that there are so many different types of Americans. Part of learning language is learning appropriate, specific descriptors.

02:47:12
I work with adult Education students and many adults list themselves as white Hispanic students. So maybe it depends on the chooses that are given.

02:47:41
How can we address concerns on behalf of my families to our Principal that there are concerns regarding racism in our school that includes her secretary and assistant principal?

02:48:23
I think Anne's point is so well expressed. If we can be willing to be open to learning from different viewpoints and if we can kindly help others to understand our point of view or a different perspective, then we can be respectful and help others to maybe change their perspectives. We need to model this for our students so they will be more open to listening to different perspectives and cultures.

02:48:39
Yes Gloribel! I struggle with that as well!

02:48:51
Colonialism has left many other countries with a legacy of colorism

02:50:37
Thank you.

02:50:51
Thank you, Alaisa. This was wonderful!

02:51:21
Dr. Grudzinski - insightful presentation. I plan to read your dissertation and resources you shared with us today.

02:51:31
@Nancy - I have found that to be an issue on enrollment forms in schools, hospitals, etc. -- we often have white, black, or Asian as choices on many of our forms, without the option to choose multiple or "other."

02:51:36
This topic and presentation is so important and interesting! Thank you so much for being brave and sharing your knowledge and experiences! Muito, muito obrigada!

02:51:56
Thank you so much.

02:54:55
Yes! We will share the recording with everyone who registered

02:58:11
Right. Even many African educators will tell you they were not "Black" in Africa. that become an issue when they came to the USA.

02:59:27
So true—college wide, it's classic demographics. For our dept, we need/want country/language/years in US...not in synch with entire institution

03:00:22
I have a friend that is of German decent but grew up in Mexico with Spanish as her first language. Everyone wants to classify her as Hispanic.

03:02:22
Thank you all so much for this valuable conference! I must leave now to attend another mtg. See you tomorrow!

03:03:12
100% agree🙌👏

03:03:14
Every smallest step toward bringing all people together is important.

03:04:09
Alaisa, it would be wonderful to make the conversation part of every school subject. But we area also dealing with the political reality of politicians that are defunding schools and having teachers fired for teaching about race, banning books, etc.

03:05:18
Thank you to all the panelists! Such wonderful presentations!

03:05:51
Thanks for joining us, Alicia! See you tomorrow?
