Show#14

Teachers at work Behind the Scenes : A Ramadan Story

Hello everyone. We are now at show #14 and I have several episodes already lined up for you that I am very excited about. First, I want to thank those of you who have contributed to tonight’s show. That is Celia Oyler for sharing with me her blog on teacher stories and making available audio for us this evening as well as Mark, Andrea, Bayla, and Lucy for the station ID.

Thank you also to Karen and Andrea of Just One More Book Podcast for giving me ideas and insights for future shows. Finally, hello to Charles Cadenhead of Mostly News and the Desperate Husband Podcast, Cynthia McDermott, and Ann Potts for commenting on the show or trying to comment on the show. What I mean here is that there were apparently some issues with my voice mail which made it difficult if not near impossible for you to call in to participate in the book give away so what I’ve decided to do is extend the give away for another couple of weeks. In case you have forgotten I have two copies of Getting Beyond I Like the Book: Creating Spaces for Critical Literacy in K-6 Classrooms that I will send to the first two of you who send either voice mail or e-mail telling me what CLIP means to you. Make sure to include your name and mailing address so I can send you an autographed copy of the book.

Just a few more mentions. Thank you to Charlotte from Windsor, Wayne from Winnipeg, Anne Potts from Blacksburg,VA, for pinning my Frappr map.

Tonight’s focuses on teacher’s working behind the scenes in the face of inequity or injustice to change problematic practices or ways of being. You will hear audio by Celia Oyler, a professor at Teachers College Columbia, in N.Y. City whose work focuses on Classroom-based collaborative research on issues of social justice, equity, and accessible pedagogy. And the Inclusion of students with disabilities in general education classrooms.

Celia has plans for podcasting herself so keep an eye and ear out for her work, which is very powerful.

She describes the story she tells, in the following audio, as being about a student teacher who took a chance and changed school for a number of children.

How might you create spaces to change inequitable ways of being in your setting?

    Vivian,

    Thank you so much for drawing my attention to these podcasts. They are such thoughtful nudges that help to remind me that education is about dialogue focused on the question of how do we live a “good life” with others.
    I plan to share these podcasts with teachers and teacher candidates here in Manitoba.
    I really value what you are doing.

    Best,

    Wayne

    Thank you Wayne. Great to hear from you. The response from listeners has been very exciting and encouraging and I appreciate every comment. I love how you describe education as focusing on how to live a good life with others. The ‘with others’ piece is really key isn’t it and there’s so much that is a part of that…making informed decisions, understanding how the words we choose and use position others etc.

    Thanks Wayne

    This was my first experience with podcast. It’s great! I listened to story #14 The Ramadan Story. That young student was exceptional. I’m certain she made a wonderful teacher.
    Such a simple suggestion, watching a movie, why didn’t anyone come up with that earlier?
    To think of young hungry children just watching others eat, it seems like a punishment for their beliefs. Bravo to that young student teacher!!!
