- The first of five in the “P” series, this video targets one of the biggest barriers to inclusive education - mindset. This video will encourage you to reflect on your own assumptions about disability and start to take action to disrupt the ableist structures in education by taking a very important first step.... presuming competence in all students.
Dear Shelley, this mamma of a diverse learner currently enrolled in FI says THANK YOU. Our school is long overdue in changing their exclusiveness, and start learning to work with our children who have different ways of learning. It can be done, I believe it.
Thank you so much for getting it out there. Let’s begin discussing about ableism too. The more we share and talk about this systemic issue of oppression toward children with disabilities as well as ELL and Black students the more we will agree on a solution that leads to equity
This is so true!! I think by bringing in a few small changes we can see massive changes across the board! These changes will be so impactful without disrupting everything. Each small change will bring new conversations and new perspectives!! Thank you for sharing Shelley!
Student blaming! Blaming the innocent is also a common colonial approach ( aka, projecting). The system has a narcissistic personality disorder.
Step 1: Be a student of the students.
I love how you express yourself with such grace and humour.
I am so happy that you have given a voice to this idea! As a resource teacher in Manitoba, I want to work myself out of a job! IF everyone presumed competence and learned from the various "programs" my role wouldn't be as necessary as it is now! Thank you
So true! Every student is highly capable of learning we just need to support/provide them with what they really need, to be successful! Believe in them and teach them to believe in themselves!
Yes, to teach them to believe in themselves. That's what I am thinking recently that to incorporate hope theory into our teaching, to develop hope in our students.
Wonderful Shelley Thankyou so much! So much wisdom right here!
We would need to drastically change learning standards and testing for this to ever be possible.
I love this view and I share it! Pass it on!
Fantastic job explaining this.
Thanks,
We need to get your stuff translated into French - I would love to use to your stuff for all our staff both English and French speaking. Keep up the great work....I am often referring to your material in my trainings and workshops
on it!
And done! All videos now have a French subtitle option!
@@FiveMooreMinutes awesome thx so much - keep up the great work!!
Preach, Shelley! Sharing this with my students!! gaa
I had the horror of teaching in a high/low setting and can say it is the worst idea ever. Now I am in an inclusive maker classroom and it rocks!
Maybe you could just come to my daughter's school❤️. Loved it!
Sounds great. But as Thomas Sowell says 'show me the evidence'. Take a look at Success Academy in New York. That is an example of strong evidence that disproves your feelings.
Thanks Shelley, fantastic video and challenge for us to work collaboratively together for all learners in the same space!
More deficit based the program is the less white it is... thank you for including the reality of systemic racism and bias factors. ❤
I'm an education assistant! this is my fav Five Moore Min !!
I love you Ms Moore!
I teach FI and you are right, I am a bit offended that you say FI is exclusionary. I have had students in my classes with diverse learning needs. I have had students with medical diagnoses, I have had students whose parents were unsure if FI was right for them. I believe EVERYONE can (and should) learn multiple languages. Unfortunately, many parents I talk to tell me they don't think their child will succeed in FI. Some parents have pulled their children from FI because of challenging behaviour or perceived learning challenges or thinking they can't help their child at home so "english will be easier for everyone". What can we do as teachers to support parents in realizing that FI is an option if they want it?
There are certainly many, many students with learning differences who can be successful in dual language programs. I think the idea behind the sentiment seems to be that some program models are inherently elitist and exclusionary, in that they have a significantly reduced scope of students who can thrive in that environment. As public education is designed to serve all students, public programs should be designed in a way that can serve most students. I don't know research on dual language programs and students with disabilities, but I do know quite a bit about processing and learning deficits, especially learning disabilities that impact reading, and I've seen very well run dual language programs destroy students with these types of disabilities in my career.
Do you have a script for this video? I am working on my thesis (Doug Bliken is one of my mentors) and want to cover presuming competence. Thanks!
Hate to be that guy but you mispelled privilege. Love your stuff!
I know :/ nuts!
@@FiveMooreMinutes Haha It doesn't change the impact. Love your stuff!
Oh gosh i thought it was meant that was and so clever. Neologism of pre village bubble. . .
🙄 oh boy!
Is there value in special programs? Is there value in equitably set standards (regarding level of hardness/appropriateness) Is there value in modified curriculum?
Well said.
Even Physics 12!!!
So true!
Do you teach physics?
yes yes yes
Like it 😊
Spanish Subtitles?
working on it :)
I pity the fool!
