Learning Dedications
Learning Dedications
Learning dedications are a daily ritual that builds trust and community among students. It is simple and brief, but recenters us. It creates stong bonds and connections between students and staff. (See: https://www.edutopia.org/article/daily-ritual-builds-trust-and-community-among-students/). For Learning Dedications, the afterschool activity special may choose someone related to a particular group, like Hispanic people for Hispanic Hertitage month and peolpe of color for Black History Month. Additionally, this afterschool activity special has chosen Tim Cannon, Ph.D., the psychobiology professor who got him interested in the brain and has been a mentor to the end of his life (not the afterschool activity specialist, but the professor). Other people the afterschool activity specialist may dedicate learning include family members (e.g., the afterschool activity specialist dad or brother), other teachers or even students. Students are also invited to dedicate learning to someone important the student. Additionally, often the engineers in the afterschool program may choose to read the learning dedications instead of the afterschool activity specialist.
To share the learning dedications, the afterschool activity specialist has a slide with the special month (e.g., Women's History Month or Asian American Pacific Islander Native Hawai'ian History Month), then a slide or multiple slides related to the person to whom learning is dedicated.
Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15 to Oct. 15 every year).
