Module Two Review
Module two has emphasized the importance of developing authentic relationships with student and family communities as part of your role as an educator. This module shows how meaningful connections can transform classrooms, families, and contribute to an overall school culture focused on reciprocity, trust, and community expectations. To support your ongoing action, we have included a Padlet discussion board, where you can engage in questions about the modules with other educators.
The (optional credit) assignment for this taking action is: Discussion Board Exercise
The following exercise(s) and materials are provided with time estimates, set as a general benchmark for completing each portion of the 'Taking Action' extension. Time estimates reflect what you will be given clock hour credit towards in completion of non-optional assignments, but encourage you to take your pace to meaningfully engage with each interactive section of the page below. Work not submitted directly through TPS-reviewed forms will not go towards these hours (including Padlet discussion boards).
Discussion Board Exercise
(optional)
Answer questions or be in conversation with other educators completing module two through discussion board site, Padlet. You can respond directly by creating a new post with the "+" button. If you want to respond directly to another person's comment, you can reply directly under their post.
Please answer the prompts with a minimum of 2-3 sentences (comments included), and aim to directly answer at least two questions or comment posts.
Norms for Padlet Engagement
Respond directly to the question prompts provided.
Communicate with respect between yourself and others who have posted/will post onto the discussion board.
Remember Intent versus Impact: Review your writing ahead of creating a new post or responding to another-- Did you convey the message you were looking to emphasize ahead of publishing? Does it create room for engagement? How would someone outside of your view perceive what you contribute?
Review what has already been posted ahead of writing a new post -- This is a great opportunity to engage with another's response without creating repetition on the comments board.
This discussion board has been created for the sole intent of engaging thoughtfully with community utilizing the questions from the CCDEI Modules. Participation is highly encouraged but not required for clock hours. CCDEI Site Moderators include University of Puget Sound staff members and Module Co-developers. They have the discretion to remove comments that are irrelevant/inappropriate or might be harmful within the threads.
Confidentiality Note: We recognize how personal these responses could be, and we want to assure you that your comments and posts will only be used to fulfill module requirements for Tacoma Public Schools. Self-publishing onto Padlet grants permission for your response to be on the public-facing platform for other TPS educator responses and engagement.
Please contact Justina Johnson (contact information at end of the page) with any questions regarding privacy of completed CCDEI extension materials.
