6/12- FINAL PROJECT PROPOSAL DRAFT

TEACH OUT PROJECT PROPOSAL

CHOOSE A TEXT: Review your whole blog to remind yourself about what we have read so far in class. What texts have stayed with you so far? What articles inspire you?  What topic matters most to you in terms of your own work? Are there any of these texts that you would like to share with others in your life?  ----I am interested in using the Lisa Delpit reading, “The Silenced Dialogue: Power and Pedagogy in Educating Other People’s Children,” and Armstrong and Wildman, “Colorblindness is the New Racism.” I want more people to be aware of the content in them.

WHO DO YOU WANT TO SHARE WITH? Are there people in your life with whom you would really like to talk about these texts? Colleagues? Students? Family members? Friends? Children? ----I would like to speak with a few of my colleagues and family members. I would like my colleagues to be aware of their responsibilities and privileges when working with our BIPOC youth. I want to ensure that everyone is treated equally. My family members haven't read any of our readings, but they are very invested in conversations when I come home from class, as I decompress from the day.

WHAT FORMAT MIGHT WORK FOR YOU? Individual interview? Small group discussion? Art activity? Professional development workshop? Poster for your office? Pamphlet to share? Lesson plan? Etc? ----I would really like to do something interesting and fun, like a children's book or a pamphlet, but I'm not sure if I have the time to do those formats. I may need to limit myself to a small group discussion or an individual interview due to time constraints.
