This is the #primaryschool I attended as a #child... any wonder I still, even as a #teacher and professional #educator, I still feel a deep #suspicion, #objection, #resentment, and extreme #aversion regarding #school? I feel triggered every time I walk by, and notice, that not much has changed since I attended, around four decades ago. Sadly, this is not uniquely a German issue. Though, the primary schools I passed in #Barcelona were by far the most inviting.

To every #parent, #educator, #techintegrator, and #schooladministrator of #primaryschools and #secondaryschools : I highly recommend the book “The Digital Delusion” by Jared Cooney Horvath. He takes off the rose tinted glasses on our views and hype of #educationaltechnology —how it has affected our children’s #cognitivedevelopment from #literacy to #CriticalThinking and what we can do about it moving forward https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jared-cooney-horvath_%F0%9D%97%A7%F0%9D%97%B5%F0%9D%97%B2-%F0%9D%97%97%F0%9D%97%B6%F0%9D%97%B4%F0%9D%97%B6%F0%9D%98%81%F0%9D%97%AE%F0%9D%97%B9-%F0%9D%97%97%F0%9D%97%B2%F0%9D%97%B9%F0%9D%98%82%F0%9D%98%80%F0%9D%97%B6%F0%9D%97%BC%F0%9D%97%BB-is-activity-7403636159559434241-64JK

#Japan’s #monsterparents heap misery on #teachers with absurd demands
"The phenomenon, 1st labelled “monster parents” by #educator Y Mukoyama in 2007 – referring to “unjustified, incomprehensible demands” fr parents who berated teachers day & night – has since morphed into something even more insidious.. Yet many teachers r reluctant to speak openly abt them.. Despite te changes, Tsuji fears “monster parents” r here to stay, w te phenomenon now spread'g to #universities"🤦♂️

I found this article very well written and a bit triggering. If you want a small keyhole into what teaching high school in America is like now, and how everything feels set up for failure where you're, as the teacher, the scapegoat, may I recommend:

I woke up early this morning. I am looking forward to the Environmental Science lab at the prison tonight because we finally got approval to take in a piece of astroturf to complete an important "wooly worm" lab. The students will write a lab report based on this. They will have to hand write their lab reports because they do not have access to computers to type them out.
I expect these hardworking students will rock this assignment.
I am proud of them.

My students at the prison had an amazing time doing their microscopes lab. They were engaged and had so much fun. They kept thanking me and several of them stayed just as late as they could. They told me that they do not have much fun in the prison, but truly did during that lab. Several of them even went outside to pick grass and flower petals to look at. They even found a squished bug on the ground that provided endless fascination.
That filled my heart with happiness.

I had so much fun yesterday at the Dual Enrollment class party. They are all graduating this semester. So many intelligent, talented, young people with so much potential.
One of the students even did this drawing on a dry erase board. It is a dragon. I was so impressed!

#educatorlifeEdit: I just got the sweetest email from one of my students thanking me for the class. Me crying? Yes.

It has been an exhausting past two days, but I feel good about the work I have done.
I am pretty much caught up with my Dual Enrollment class, and they have their last class on Thursday.
I am impressed with my students at the correctional center. One asked me about career advice once he is released. Another student is undergoing cancer treatment and wanted to know what health effects it might have. They feel safe around me, which is important to me.

My students are awesome.. On Monday, I had a lab with my Dual Enrollment students and they are amazing. I am so impressed with them all. I think they had fun with the lab as well.
Then yesterday, I had the final exam for my Bio 101 class. Those students rocked that exam. I am so happy. One student wrote an adorable thank you drawing on the exam, and another asked if she could volunteer in the lab over the summer.
My heart is happy.

@TheConversationUS ... if they dare. So many districts are shying away from political controversy, it's an epidemic of sorts. And they have good reasons, all of them that I've asked. If it weren't for tenure I'm pretty sure even fewer would be crossing that line. #educator #educating #Schools #politics

#Wabanaki #Educator Receives National #CommunityService Award
by Jillian Kerr, October 10, 2024
"Lynn Amakehs (butterfly) Mitchell, #Passamaquoddy citizen and #Maine Indian Education Facilities Manager, is deeply committed to preserving her community's culture. Her unwavering dedication has earned her different awards, recognizing her service to her community and her passion for preserving language and culture. In September, Lynn was honored with the prestigious 2024 National Indian Education Association Community Service of the Year Award. This award recognizes Native community members who are role models and have served their community.
"Lynn’s journey to become a teacher and active community member is a testament to her passion and dedication. It all began when she became a mother and started participating in school and community activities. Lynn’s involvement in organizations like the Girl Scouts and PTP (Parent Teacher Partnership) marked the beginning of her service to the community before she started her decolonization work and focus on culture and language.
"Her #decolonization journey deepened after she attended the #UpstanderAcademy, where she met a #Micmac woman and spiritual healer from Canada. Their time and conversations inspired her to learn more and share what she knew, leading her to become the community leader she is today.
"After attending the Upstander Academy, Lynn's commitment to promoting cultural engagement intensified. She traveled to different tribal gatherings and immersed herself in culture as much as possible. She aimed to share her experiences and knowledge and motivate others in her community to participate in and learn cultural activities.
"Lynn plays a pivotal role in nurturing a sense of community and togetherness. She does this in various ways, including by planning community gatherings. Lynn planned a large cultural gathering that the Passamaquoddy hosted, but after much planning and organizing, she became ill and could not attend. She said that her falling ill was a 'blessing in disguise' because it resulted in something beautiful…. community members who usually do not participate in community activities took the lead and ensured the gathering went as planned. These individuals continue to be active community members, a testament to Lynn's success in promoting cultural engagement.
"One of Lynn's most significant contributions is mentoring youth, a responsibility she takes very seriously. In community service projects with youth, she saw how they responded positively, which deepened her desire to do more. These projects demonstrate her commitment to the future of her community.
"Currently, Lynn is mentoring a group of girls through their rights-of-passage ceremony. One activity the girls completed was learning how to honor berries. The girls picked berries and then gave some to the elders when they visited. The girls spend much time with the elders, learning from and talking with them. Lynn's commitment to passing this knowledge on to the next generation provides hope for the community’s ability to preserve tribal culture.
This is Lynn's 38th year working for Maine Indian Education. Since being hired, she obtained a bachelor’s degree in College Studies, focusing on Native Studies from the University of Maine at Machias. She enjoyed her courses, and what she learned provided her with the knowledge and skills needed to create the curriculum and served as a basis for the content she uses in her classes.
"Lynn began teaching the #PassamaquoddyLanguage at Calais High School before she graduated. Her classes are extremely popular and usually have a waitlist. Lynn was surprised when her classes began to have a waitlist, but anyone who knows Lynn was not surprised. Her positive energy and love radiate from her and draw people to her. Her dedication to her students and community makes Lynn a perfect recipient of the NIEA Community Service of the Year Award.
"The #NIEAConvention was established to mark the beginning of a national forum for sharing and developing ideas and influencing federal policy. #NIEA was founded in 1969 and incorporated in 1970 to meet the needs of educators, students, and the community. NIEA held its first 'First Convocation of American Indian Scholars' at Princeton University in 1969. During this meeting, several Native educators discussed concerns and issues related to the education of Native children. For many educators, this large meeting was the first opportunity to share, discuss, and learn about ideas critical to Native Americans in the United States.
"Several Natives who attended that gathering wanted an opportunity to continue the dialogue and share ways to improve education. They desired to explore ways to become more effective teachers and better school administrators and discover practical experiences that could improve schools serving Native students.
"Since its incorporation, NIEA has become a massive organization committed to addressing various issues that Native Americans face. These issues include Boarding School Healing, #NativeLanguage Initiatives, and #CulturallyBasedCurricula. NIEA’s mission is to advance comprehensive, culturally based educational opportunities for #NativeAmericans, #AlaskaNatives, and #NativeHawaiians. The organization advocates for policies and creates programs that support self-determination and the development of comprehensive, culturally grounded learning opportunities for Native students.
"National recognition through the NIEA Community Service Award underscores Lynn’s exceptional contributions to Native education and her dedication to serving the community. Lynn’s drive to preserve language and culture in her community is a tribute to her commitment. Her contributions, which go beyond the classroom, are evident in impactful community service projects that profoundly affect the lives of Native students and their families."

The girls picked berries and then gave some to the elders when they visited. The girls spend much time with the elders, learning from and talking with them. Lynn's commitment to passing this knowledge on to the next generation provides hope for the community’s ability to preserve tribal culture.
This is Lynn's 38th year working for Maine Indian Education. Since being hired, she obtained a bachelor’s degree in College Studies, focusing on Native Studies from the University of Maine at Machias. She enjoyed her courses, and what she learned provided her with the knowledge and skills needed to create the curriculum and served as a basis for the content she uses in her classes.
"Lynn began teaching the #PassamaquoddyLanguage at Calais High School before she graduated. Her classes are extremely popular and usually have a waitlist. Lynn was surprised when her classes began to have a waitlist, but anyone who knows Lynn was not surprised. Her positive energy and love radiate from her and draw people to her. Her dedication to her students and community makes Lynn a perfect recipient of the NIEA Community Service of the Year Award.
"The #NIEAConvention was established to mark the beginning of a national forum for sharing and developing ideas and influencing federal policy. #NIEA was founded in 1969 and incorporated in 1970 to meet the needs of educators, students, and the community. NIEA held its first 'First Convocation of American Indian Scholars' at Princeton University in 1969. During this meeting, several Native educators discussed concerns and issues related to the education of Native children. For many educators, this large meeting was the first opportunity to share, discuss, and learn about ideas critical to Native Americans in the United States.
"Several Natives who attended that gathering wanted an opportunity to continue the dialogue and share ways to improve education. They desired to explore ways to become more effective teachers and better school administrators and discover practical experiences that could improve schools serving Native students.
"Since its incorporation, NIEA has become a massive organization committed to addressing various issues that Native Americans face. These issues include Boarding School Healing, #NativeLanguage Initiatives, and #CulturallyBasedCurricula. NIEA’s mission is to advance comprehensive, culturally based educational opportunities for #NativeAmericans, #AlaskaNatives, and #NativeHawaiians. The organization advocates for policies and creates programs that support self-determination and the development of comprehensive, culturally grounded learning opportunities for Native students.
"National recognition through the NIEA Community Service Award underscores Lynn’s exceptional contributions to Native education and her dedication to serving the community. Lynn’s drive to preserve language and culture in her community is a tribute to her commitment. Her contributions, which go beyond the classroom, are evident in impactful community service projects that profoundly affect the lives of Native students and their families."

#Wabanaki #Educator Receives National #CommunityService Award
by Jillian Kerr, October 10, 2024
"Lynn Amakehs (butterfly) Mitchell, #Passamaquoddy citizen and #Maine Indian Education Facilities Manager, is deeply committed to preserving her community's culture. Her unwavering dedication has earned her different awards, recognizing her service to her community and her passion for preserving language and culture. In September, Lynn was honored with the prestigious 2024 National Indian Education Association Community Service of the Year Award. This award recognizes Native community members who are role models and have served their community.
"Lynn’s journey to become a teacher and active community member is a testament to her passion and dedication. It all began when she became a mother and started participating in school and community activities. Lynn’s involvement in organizations like the Girl Scouts and PTP (Parent Teacher Partnership) marked the beginning of her service to the community before she started her decolonization work and focus on culture and language.
"Her #decolonization journey deepened after she attended the #UpstanderAcademy, where she met a #Micmac woman and spiritual healer from Canada. Their time and conversations inspired her to learn more and share what she knew, leading her to become the community leader she is today.
"After attending the Upstander Academy, Lynn's commitment to promoting cultural engagement intensified. She traveled to different tribal gatherings and immersed herself in culture as much as possible. She aimed to share her experiences and knowledge and motivate others in her community to participate in and learn cultural activities.
"Lynn plays a pivotal role in nurturing a sense of community and togetherness. She does this in various ways, including by planning community gatherings. Lynn planned a large cultural gathering that the Passamaquoddy hosted, but after much planning and organizing, she became ill and could not attend. She said that her falling ill was a 'blessing in disguise' because it resulted in something beautiful…. community members who usually do not participate in community activities took the lead and ensured the gathering went as planned. These individuals continue to be active community members, a testament to Lynn's success in promoting cultural engagement.
"One of Lynn's most significant contributions is mentoring youth, a responsibility she takes very seriously. In community service projects with youth, she saw how they responded positively, which deepened her desire to do more. These projects demonstrate her commitment to the future of her community.
