Is There a Lesson from Comparing the COVID-19 Pandemic to the Experience of Disability? A Response to Carol Rogers-Shaw’s “Disabled Lives & Pandemic Lives: Stories of Human Precarity”
Get PDFIn “Disabled Lives & Pandemic Lives: Stories of Human Precarity,” Carol Rogers-Shaw narrates several stories that convey the anguish, trauma, loss, and horror experienced by many during the pandemic. Through storytelling, she demonstrates that “the pandemic experiences we shared might provide a foundation to build … parallels between living with a disability and living in a pandemic.” Even so, Rogers-Shaw cautions us not to get distracted by pandemic-related issues or inspirational stories. Instead, she correctly points out that COVID-19 pandemic experiences mirror the unpleasant aspects of daily life for people with disabilities

More than Civil Engineering and Civic Reasoning: World-Building in Middle School STEM
Get PDFThis narrative essay describes a project in an urban sixth grade science class that began as an effort to link civic engagement with disciplinary learning in chemistry. The ways in which students took up this project prompted the authors to see urban infrastructures as engineered sites of learning with world-making possibilities. By interrogating the ways in which science and engineering practices are imbued with values and happen in places, teachers can engage young learners in critical examinations of their built worlds. The authors argue that there is an opportunity in K-8 engineering education to avoid reproducing some of the pathologies of (post)secondary STEM education by making the ethical and political dimensions of the STEM enterprise explicit. In fact, elementary school teachers’ ability to prioritize the whole child over disciplinary norms may allow them to engage students in realistic assessments of the built world while also imagining hopeful present-futures
Environmental Studies Curriculum
Get PDFThis 3rd grade curriculum aims to serve two main purposes: empowering students with knowledge to alleviate some of their climate change anxiety and to prevent them from developing harmful, hard to break habits, like ubiquitous plastic consumption/ overconsumption in general, by giving them the tools to do better. There is an emphasis on reactivating solutions we already have but stopped employing, to shift focus from reinventing the wheel towards reinventing the way the driver sees the wheel and remembering the processes/habits of mind that enabled the wheel to once function without fueling our destruction. To begin, lessons focus on understanding the key terms reduce, reuse, recycle and examining their order as well as the reasons why that is important to know and honor. Immediately after, children are thrust into their first hands-on recycling experiences which also act as their community service initiatives. They learn about taking direct action by collecting and remaking crayons through the process of melting down broken bits in molds, as well as how to partner with companies like Crayola to collect and ship markers for recycling since melting down plastic is too hazardous to do ourselves. Next, they’ll explore composting, how it works, its purpose (to keep things out of landfills /create a natural soil replenisher) and what materials do/do not biodegrade which also plants a seed in their minds about natural versus unnatural materials/where everyday things come from, including soil. While composting clarifies the definition of recycling (breaking things into their smallest parts to be reborn as something new) it also ignites a spark of recognition essential to what comes next. As nature’s recycling, composting is the most original, traditional practice that exists, so original to this planet that it did not require human action long ago. That initial ember lights the way to other traditional practices/beliefs, like sewing and making things last through conscious care and creativity. Repair will be examined and added to the more commonly used 3R’s, followed by a class activity in which students learn basic sewing skills using community sourced fabric as a means of simultaneously practicing repair, reuse and consequently reduce, by purposefully choosing to make functional items like shopping bags and handkerchiefs that replace their disposable counterparts
