please read the article ;”Toward Reconciliation: What do the Calls to Action Mean for Early Childhood Education?” and write critical thinking paper.
You should contain in the paper answers for 4 following questions:
1. As you are reading, actively note key quotations (think: concept/phrases) that seem most meaningful/significant to you.
2. Define/explain your understanding of the following terms:
Call to Action #12 Pedagogy of Listening
Call to Action #10 Culturally Appropriate Curricula
Reconciliation
3. Consider/think ‘with’ this quotation from the reading. Write a 1-2 paragraph response:
“When I reflect on the idea of improving learning prospects, I caution myself to remember that that this is not the same as what we think of as school success. After all, who gets to define school success? And how is it defined? How does it connect to success in life? In contrast to mainstream ideas of school success, learning prospects grow because what is learned is relevant to everyday lived experiences” (Taylor, 2017, p.51).
4. Design Pedagogical Questions: A ‘Pedagogical Question’ is a question that you don’t necessarily answer/solve, but that you ‘think with’ in relation to your pedagogy/teaching. It may relate to systemic issues… to ethics, dilemmas or contradictions… it aims to allow you/guide you in thinking ‘deeply’ within the complexities of a topic. We continually share our Pedagogical Questions with others, to engage in multiple perspectives (an important part of Pedagogical Documentation).
