Strength-Based Approaches to Meeting Culturally Diverse Student Needs

A strengths-based approach to education is essential for successful school development in culturally diverse schools. Chapter 7 reflects that education lies in the pedagogical relations and provocations into the self-realizations and growth of young people. In this arena, provocation refers to intentions to provoke thoughts, ideas, and actions that help students to learn and grow. A provocation should be grounded in the child’s cultural background strengths. We explicitly worked with school teams to recognize the equal value of different cultures in their students’ ethnic and linguistic backgrounds and to lead in culturally responsive ways with regards to pedagogy, curriculum, data-analysis, education and community engagement. We drew on research to include positive perspectives of parents and families, communication of high expectations, learning within the context of culture, student-centered and culturally mediated instruction, reshaping the curriculum, and teacher as facilitator. Thus, culturally relevant teaching requires teachers to embrace diversity, build on strengths, and recognize that students learn in a variety of ways. It is the job of the leader to help teachers gain an understanding of those cultures, and how to incorporate that into their classrooms. Sample activities and case studies expand the concepts.

Managing digital transformation of language education: challenges, models, solutions

Технологическое развитие, переход учебно-педагогической деятельности в онлайн-формат и интеграция цифровых решений в образовательную реальность привели к необходимости системного переосмысления и анализа модели языкового обучения. Наряду с открывшимися уникальными возможностями участники образовательного процесса столкнулись с трудностями, возникшими в силу специфики взаимодействия разных поколений в одном образовательном пространстве. Новая модальность социально-педагогических отношений коснулась и языкового образования: НБИКС-технологии, медиаконвергентность и цифровая реальность – явления, которые невозможно игнорировать при конструировании образовательного процесса. The rapid development of technologies, the transition of educational and pedagogical activities to the online format and the integration of digital solutions into educational reality have led to the need for a systematic rethinking and analysis of the model of the language learning process. Along with the unique opportunities that opened up, participants of the educational process faced difficulties that arose, inter alia, due to the specificity of the interaction of different generations in one educational space. The new modality of socio-pedagogical relations also affected the language education: NBICS technologies, media convergence and digital reality are phenomena that cannot be ignored when designing the educational process.

Stitching Language: Sounding Voice in the Art Practice of Vanessa Dion Fletcher

This paper engages with the artistic practice and work of Vanessa Dion Fletcher (Potawatomi and Lenapé) from my perspective as a non-Indigenous academic and curator. Dion Fletcher and I have worked together over the past several years through discussions about her work, studio visits, and various events. In her art practice, Dion Fletcher uses porcupine quills and menstrual blood to inquire into a range of issues and concepts including Indigenous language revitalization, feminist Indigenous corporeality, Land as pedagogy, decolonization, and neurodiversity. In particular her work confronts the ways that Indigeneity, the queer and gendered body, and disability are rendered expendable. In this paper I engage with Dylan Robinson’s “sovereign sense”: a transcorporeal mode of perception that is affective, land-based, and formed through relations between human and non-humans. Dion Fletcher’s work makes palpable this sense of sovereignty through its unruly and mutating feltness. Further, her work makes visible feminist Indigenous artistic acts of resurgence alongside the frictions at the intersections of settler colonialism and disability. Following Karyn Recollet, I contend that Dion Fletcher’s work activates an Indigenous affective experience of futurity and creative intimacy that in turn imagines disability and Indigeneity as sites through which new pedagogical relations can be formed.

Using Cartographies to Map Time and Space in Teacher Learning in and Outside School

This article explores the relations between teachers’ visual cartographies and oral narratives to better understand the spatial and temporal relations on teacher learning. It builds on a research project whose main questions were: 1) How and where do secondary school teachers learn to teach? 2) What are the consequences of this learning in their pedagogical relations and their students’ learning processes and results? Since narrative research has been a common way of approaching the subject and have led to an emphasis on learning as a journey across contexts and over time, some of its contributions to explore teachers’ learning paths are theoretically discussed, and visual methods, particularly cartographies, are also examined. Furthermore, the article presents the analysis of cartographies and video recordings of 29 secondary school teachers focusing on the interactions in different spaces and moments in time described by them. Findings suggest that learning to be a teacher may happen in interactions with objects, people and spaces beyond the boundaries of school, university and formal places of training and learning. They also show that the rhizomatic character of the cartographies may not prevent teleological thinking or the idea that any kind of learning is purposeful. Finally, this paper concludes that teachers’ learning does not fit the representational frame that distinguishes between formal contents and leisure activities, classrooms and private spaces, lessons and bodies, emotions and knowledge.

nr="159"Angst und Freiheit in pädagogischen Verhältnissen

Zusammenfassung: Das Ziel dieses Beitrags ist die Analyse des Verhältnisses von Angst und Freiheit in pädagogischen Verhältnissen. Zu diesem Zweck erläutern wir unser Verständnis von Gefühlen und verorten darin Angst als emotionales und existenzielles Gefühl. Daran schließen sich Überlegungen an, die die Produktivität von Angst in gesellschaftlichen Produktionsverhältnissen diskutieren. Auf dieser Grundlage nehmen wir die dialektischen Bewegungen zwischen Freiheit und Angst in den Blick, um darauf aufbauend die pädagogischen Verhältnisse zum Gegenstand der Überlegungen zu machen. In unserem abschließenden Kommentar entwerfen wir eine pädagogische Perspektive auf Emanzipation und Vernunft als eine unabschließbare Vermittlung der dialektischen Bewegung von Angst und Freiheit.Abstract: The aim of this contribution is to analyse the relationship between fear and freedom in educational settings. To this purpose, we explain our concept of feelings and define fear as an emotional and existential feeling. This is followed by considerations that discuss the productivity of fear in capitalistic modes of production. On this base, we will develop an argumentation that focuses on the dialectical movement between freedom and fear in order to address the pedagogical relations of our subject. In our concluding commentary we draft a pedagogical perspective on emancipation and reason as an inconclusive mediation of the dialectical movement of fear and freedom.
