Pecha Kucha Script
Introduction
- Me: Ryan Mottram, FNED 346, Sophomore at RIC, ELED/Multidisciplinary major
- Me: Ryan Mottram, FNED 346, Sophomore at RIC, ELED/Multidisciplinary major
- Stadium's location: 100 Crescent Ave. Cranston, RI behind Cranston Football Stadium
- Minority Enrollment/Reduced lunch rate: Over 60% in both
- Surroundings (neighborhood): Dominantly white population, middle-class, houses
- Mentors: Mrs. Kathleen Perry, Mrs. Salsbury, Mrs. Grism
- Classroom: 3rd grade
- Mascot: Stadium Shark
- More info.: Above average public school, about 350 students currently enrolled
Christensen
-Talks about the use of technology and therefore various electronic devices in schools and whether or not it is beneficial for the education of young students
- Use of electronic devices, such as laptops by students for test-taking and access to Dreambox, which is a website for educational games and activities.
-Use of these devices is monitored by my mentor, Mrs. Perry
-Young students' use of these devices is fine as long as it is monitored frequently by the teacher
Kristof
-Talks about how a student's success is mostly based on the culture they've grown up in, not income
- Dominantly minority enrollment at Stadium
- Despite racial aspects, all students in my class seem very bright for their age and have potential.
-Jaymean, a Hispanic boy I've worked with may struggle with math and reading, but when I work with him he completes the assignments/assessments and gets good grades
Delpit
- "codes of power"
- Mrs. Perry gives students "What Checks" if they call out "wait, what?" without raising their hand repeatedly at a time.
- blue piece of paper with a check on it, not sure what the consequences are exactly
- Personally do not agree with this strategy of power due to their grade and maturity level
- I feel it would be more appropriate to have in middle school because at this age students should know not to call out in class
McIntosh
- Talks about whiteness getting valued more in the larger culture and white leadership in schools
- All of the teachers I've met at Stadium are white
- No unfair treatment of students due to race noticed, as there shouldn't be any
SCWAAMP
- Talks about dominant white privilege is cultures and schools
- There is this one white student in my class, Jacob who acts up a lot and gets a lot of attention by Mrs. Perry and the assistants as a result
- Question of lack of discipline or white privilege?
- I believe it's more of just lack of discipline by the teachers than white privilege, he just gets told to stop instead of being sent to the office of given a conduct notice
Kahne & Westheimer
-Talks about school citizenship and mainly why service learning projects are beneficial for students and future educators
-I have learned new ways of lecturing an elementary level classroom through observing Mrs. Perry's class and her style of teaching
-my own curriculum, use of technology for games and tests, group readings
-I have also noticed things I'd like to improve on and fix for my future class
-Disciplinary methods that might be more fair and tests that are challenging but not too difficult
Shor
-Talks about how an established curriculum by the teacher is needed in certain classrooms to encourage school citizenship among its students
-Mrs. Perry seems to have a well-organized curriculum
-Laptops, use of projector, group readings, activity worksheets
-Not merely textbook, pencil, and paper in the class
-However, I believe some of the tests given could be modified a bit
-Seem to be a little long and difficult for their age group
-They don't get tested on some of the readings until almost a week later, which is most likely why some seem to struggle
Rodriguez
-Talks about separation between primary or "home" language and culture and language in schools.
- Also how some student may leave behind their home language to learn another
- Black, Hispanic, Asian student(s) in my class
-All speak English fluently, but I don't doubt some are bilingual
- The Asian boy in my class, Tony is Chinese and he probably speaks Chinese at home with older relatives
-Haven't noticed any struggles of speaking in class or completing assignments with English being either their primary or secondary language.
What Have I Learned?
- Elementary teachers need an established curriculum that makes class fun, entertaining, and encourages students to learn
- These teachers must be enthusiastic to get students engaged, and not just do their job
- Teachers must appeal to the students' age group in the class by implementing fun and educational activities
What Do I Want To Do?
- Elementary school teacher
- Multidisciplinary Studies or Social Studies
- 4th or 5th grade classroom preferably
Who Will I Become?
- A teacher who wants their students to learn and have fun
- For students to work hard and be kind to one another
- A teacher who will be available for help
- I have had a lot of family and friend support for schooling most of my life, and I want to give back to those young students who may not be as fortunate as I was
