Living Library Assignment Description
Get PDFThe goal of this assignment is for preservice teachers to articulate their WHY. Having a strong ‘why’ can help you figure out ‘how’. In the case of resilience, if one knows why they are doing what they are doing, why they want or desire something, or why they are on this planet at this given time, they are likely to feel more confident about their purpose as well as have a core belief to rely on to overcome adversity and move towards their goals. We all have a story. Our stories are valuable and worthy to be heard. This assignment engages students to apply their understanding of the elements of the Writing Rope (Sedita, 2019a; Sedita, 2019b) and the Writing Process, as part of the Science of Reading, to write a short autobiography about one aspect about why they choose to become a teacher and to share their story with others in a public forum commonly referred to as a Living Library.https://digitalcommons.pittstate.edu/oer-teaching/1015/thumbnail.jp
Constructing Community: How Shared Historic Preservation Interests Build Better Places and Spaces
Get PDFGenerating interest in local history and historic buildings can be a challenge at times for archivists and historic preservationists. When the two groups collaborate, however, it can lead to greater interest and investment in preservation across the board. This session will explore how partnerships between historic preservationists and archivists can increase community relationships, foster greater interest in local histories, and further work to preserve a community’s documentary and architectural heritage. Tricia Gilson will discuss a multi-partner effort to document a nineteenth-century historic downtown and some of the women-owned and Jewish-owned businesses once found there. Sara DeCaro will describe her experience writing a successful nomination for her state’s register of historic places and how that effort led to stronger community relationships. Hayley Jackson will discuss how tracking down records of a local Iowa architect led to a multiyear collaboration that built community relationships, gathered important architectural records for preservation, and increased community interest in his architectural legacy. Tyson Koenig and Hannah Houston will discuss supporting student work and building connections with archives in the context of preservation education at a university with one of the nation’s only undergraduate historic preservation programs, where the ties between archival and historic preservation work are strong and mutually beneficial

Using multiple methods to explore antiracist practices in a cross institutional online community
Get PDFIn this chapter, four white, cis-gender, teacher-educators engaged in a multiple method, cross-institution online collaboration during the dual pandemic of Covid-19 and structural racism. Using a book club reading schedule, arts based responses, problem posing, and memory work, the authors examined their experiences and reactions to the pandemic and concurrent incidences of structural racism. Drawing inspiration from Robinson and Robinson’s (2022) Imagine If, followed by Kendi’s (2019, 2023) How to be Antiracist, the authors describe how their online collaboration influenced their understanding of their past, helped them to unpack considerations of present problems in their practice, and helped them consider how they might better act in the future. Throughout the process the authors were mindful of their privilege as white teacher educators and how this impacted their approach to issues of equity, social justice, and racism. Multiple method cross-institution online collaboration is a useful space to examine critical issues of practice.https://digitalcommons.pittstate.edu/oer-teaching/1016/thumbnail.jp
