Showcase of Learning

This assignment was a collaboration with three of my classmates from a course that explored diversity and culture in the classroom. Together, we read Teaching When the World Is on Fire by Lisa Delpit. As a group, we broke down and explored key elements of the text that capture crucial issues. 

In the paper linked above, I dive into a text, Protecting the Promise: Indigenous Education Between Mothers and Their Children by Timothy San Pedro. In this essay, I discuss how Indigenous families use culturally sustaining pedagogy and the importance it holds. 

This presentation showcases a deep dive into my own culture and language history. I utilize my skills of research to explore where my ancestry is tied to, what languages and dialects were spoken, how they changed over time. 

I created a presentation on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) in a course that focuses on student behavior. In this presentation I wrote about what PBIS is and why it should be implemented in my school. I demonstrate my ability to effectively teach about a program and highlight it's key points.

The motivation case and assessment is a paper where I explain and reflect on my time working with a student who has challenges finding motivation in the classroom. Here, I show my ability to consistently adapt in order to find strategies that work and craft lesson plans specifically made to help motivate learning. 

Above is a lesson plan I created for two literacy learners. This plan was designed to specifically help two of my students. By creating this lesson, it shows how I chose strategies and materials that would benefit the literacy levels and learning styles of my students.
