CarinaM----Critical Reading/Reflection FEB.24

Highlight of my readings:
  • DisCrit recognizes the shifting boundary between normal and ab-normal
  • DisCrit explores ways in which both race and ability are socially constructed and interdependent
  • Youth harmed by intersectionality "do not fit"
  • How can we expand our knowledge or understanding of race and dis/ability?
  • K-12 schools  often separate hallways or even buildings removed from the rest of students. Also curriculum and instruction in schools are often detached from special education
  • Race and dis/ability have been used to marginalize particular group and society
  • Solutions; engaging in dialogue to potentially transform inequities in our education system to avoid fall through the cracks
  • No child left behind act,privatizations of public education,teachers tied to student test scores
  • Draw attention to those communities marginalized by dominant communities
  • Mentoring approach to impact a healthy support- outcomes of children and families
  • Building relationships between mentors and youth is vital piece of the puzzle 
  • The three mentoring interaction elements;focus, purpose, and authorship to distinguish between effective and ineffective mentoring relationship styles.

Covid-19 how impacted our youth:

We heard about COVID-19 in December 2019 while we were spending our Christmas in a resort in Connecticut.

Two hours before dismissal, 560 students were sent home and were told to wait for directions from us.
