Field Post-Feb.10(Learning-Visual/Written)

This class and the YARI project will support, help, develop, and offer another opportunity for us to help the underserved. We can be in their shoes, brainstorm together and find alternative forms of teaching, learning, adapting, creating a space where everyone can feel accepted and normal. With an awareness of intersectionality, we can better acknowledge the differences among us and accept each other so we can move forward. My mentees are high spirited and super smart Angel and Mich. We shared about ourselves and discussed our journey maps. I would love to be the guide that will provide additional data points, suggestions and support that will help them navigate their project as best as possible. They already have a topic: Why Providence Schools are failing? Focusing on Disability, Minority, and LGBTQ.

I suggested to review the Hopkins Report and also they will review the Student Bill of Rights that was created several years ago in Providence. We will meet on Mondays at the Met School from 10:45am-11:45am.

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. By February, a coworker died suddenly, and then a few weeks later we found out that he died of COVID-19. On March 13, 2020, I remember it like it was yesterday, we were forced to send students home with a Chromebook and their books. Two hours before dismissal, 560 students were sent home and were told to wait for directions from us. Everyone went into a panic, teachers without much technology knowledge were told to begin teaching their classes in a virtual google classroom. Parents were frustrated too, because most of them do not have internet at home nor the skills to use a computer and help their kids with the assignments. This became an issue. Our families reported that their children learned less since the beginning of the pandemic, because of the transition from classroom to online/distance learning during lockdown. Despite their efforts to continue studying, more t...
