1. LCSD Book Study: Grading for Equity by Joe Feldman

Program: Lansing Groton Teacher Center

Audience: PK-12 teachers

Dates: 7/12/2022 to 8/9/2022

As Joe Feldman points out, "Grades are the main criteria in nearly every decision that schools make about students," from placement in advanced courses to eligibility for extracurriculars. Beyond k-12 education, students' grades can impact their college acceptance and access to scholarships. In short: Grades are important. But how do we ensure that the grades we assign truly and equitably reflect our students' learning?

This book study will take a critical look at traditional grading practices that have led to disproportionately negative outcomes for some student groups, as well as at new practices that promote equity for all learners. Participants will finish up the study with an actionable plan for grading in the 2022-2023 school year.

Based on the 12-month curriculum in the book Onward and The Onward Workbook, the book club will provide strategies and practices to help you deepen your resilience. With practical, informative, inspirational and relevant activities and guidance, Onward is grounded in science, social science, and psychology, and peppered with Elena's personal narratives, this book will undoubtedly change the way we think about emotions, stress, and our purpose as educators. The book focuses on the 12 habits that cultivate resilience, and their correlating dispositions, and provides a roadmap for how to feel more effective, more fulfilled, and happier at work. This is book study targeted toward your personal growth and how that positively impacts your classroom, role, and/or leadership -- there will not be any activities or discussion based on students or activities you can do with your students, but instead, how you can grow as an individual.

There's no separate writing block and no separate writing curriculum. Instead, teachers of all subjects adapt TWR's strategies and activities to their preexisting curriculum and weave them into their content instruction."

- Define folk arts and folklife through uncovering personal and local traditions

- Create lessons using ethnographic tools of folklife such as interviewing, note taking, sketching, photographing, and mapping

- Demonstrate their own cultural knowledge through creative activities that they can replicate in the classroom so students can explore their cultural identity

- Examine the ethical considerations of representing diverse cultures in a classroom

- Practice how to moderate "tough" conversations that culture may provoke

- Access local and national interdisciplinary resources for artists and educators to integrate folk arts into classroom curricula and activities

- Connect local folk arts traditions and research to NYS learning standards

Following completion of this two-day learning opportunity for educators, there will be an option for eight teacher-artist partnerships to continue working together to create and implement lesson plans though an artist residency program; information regarding eligibility will be discussed at the first session.

*For over 25 years Local Learning has provided services to the field of Folk Arts in Education, offering training around the nation. Our New York State series includes building capacity of excellent local host organizations, teaching artists, and educators for sustainability.
