Session description

In this session, we will examine the use of Powerful Student Care's contemplative practice to facilitate joy-filled learning for each student, as well as learn how to use PSC tools to help you understand and enhance each student’s experiences with joy-filled learning.

Outline

(Each segment is roughly 15 minutes in length and includes scenario-based learning to foster conversation).

Segment 1: How does joy-filled learning bring humanity to the classroom? How does it espouse equity and honor dignity as a birth right?

• Scenario: Who is Myles? Why don’t we think he’s experiencing joy-filled learning?

Segment 2: How do we use PSC’s Contemplative Practice to plan for facilitating joy-filled learning for each learner?

• Examples of Questions from the Contemplative Practice
o How does each student see themselves as a learner? How does each student embrace their power as a learner?
o Who feels intellectually, socially and emotionally fulfilled? Who doesn’t? How do know?
o What actions have I taken to develop strong relationships that safeguard each student’s dignity and ensure a community free of the negative impacts of stereotyping?
o What are my current beliefs about trusting each students innate desire to learn and grow?
o What stereotypes or biases have I surfaced in myself about my students as joyful learners?

• Scenario: What did we learn about Myles? How is my instruction safeguarding his dignity as a human being and as a learner?

Segment 3: How do we use PSC’s tools to deliver joy-filled learning to each student?

• Scenario: What did we learn about Myles? What does he need in order to experience joy-filled learning?

Segment 4: How do we know to what degree a student is experiencing joy-filled learning?

• Scenario: What does Myles tell us about his learning experiences?
