Response to Kylie’s Topic #1 Post

Hi Kylie!

I absolutely love what you drew out of the readings and included in your reflection, especially the part about having a team of teachers working together. In times of frustration or lack of understanding, we can feel isolated (especially in an online platform), and asking for help can be difficult. As I have learned through twitter this week, so many educators are more than happy to share their knowledge and expertise with you, and oftentimes find it a helpful learning experience as well; I would highly recommend checking out twitter and the multitude of online educators who share incredible resources. I think your point of student tracking and discrimination is in-depth and shows your passion and understanding of this topic, and I think that will lend itself well as a proactive step in your classroom to ensure safety and non-discrimination, which will, in turn, allow your students a safe space to learn. I was wondering what steps you may take in your own classroom to ensure the safety and equality of your students and their data shared? Would you make questions that are within the database optional? Maybe you could look into different resources that don’t in fact ask questions based on sex, age, grade, etc.
