Be A Tree: Reconceptualizing Early Education through the Roots and Fruits Methodology of Teaching and Learning
Full text linkThis past Winter, my seven-year old son lived through a traumatic experience, resulting in the amputation of a significant portion of his middle finger. While reflecting on the concept of being a “Whole Child,” I was engaging in conversations with my son, exploring questions on wholeness, such as, “What is the purpose of our bodies? How will my hand work now with the loss of this finger? How will my classmates see me, and view my finger? When will my nerves re-align as I place my stubbed finger on different textures of fabric, petting our dog, holding my bike handle-bars, skimming rocks, dribbling a basketball, or holding a pencil?” “How will I create in the world?” “How will I play piano?” My young child is wise enough to know who he is, is more than the body he moves through on this planet. Yet, he is also astute to recognize our world can be harsh, and understanding his identity in this new body, and how the external world may perceive him was significant. His internal conflicts of identity, who he is now in this different body, and how he will use this body to serve in the world were questions consuming his mind. As I facilitated dialogues with him, his brother who witnessed the trauma, his teachers, and classmates on understanding this new chapter to his story, I knew that the power of being seen and feeling whole in our world is critical to all of us, especially our youngest earthlings

Reframing Deficit Narratives to Honor the Community Cultural Wealth of Immigrant Families of Children with Disabilities
Full text linkExisting research suggests that immigrant families navigating the special education process are rarely positioned as powerful partners working alongside educators. This is a manifestation of the racism and ableism endemic to the United States schooling system that leads to educators viewing immigrant families from a deficit-based lens. Do these perceptions, however, match the ways that immigrant families view themselves? This qualitative participant-observation study addresses this question by exploring educators’ and families’ perceptions and positionings of immigrant families who are navigating special education. I unpack discrepant views among educators and families of 16 children labeled “English Learner” with or suspected of having disabilities. The findings indicate that the immigrant families see themselves as possessing tremendous community cultural wealth (Yosso, 2005), which counters the deficit-oriented view the educators have of them. I argue for a reframing of the common narratives surrounding immigrant families in special education away from deficit-based conceptions towards ones that honor the strengths, knowledge, and assets of the families.https://educate.bankstreet.edu/faculty-staff/1062/thumbnail.jp
