Dear Educationalists,
In our LLSS 315 course experience we will have the opportunity to see critically from different perspectives and to consider: what it means to educate and to honor funds of knowledge; what knowledge is valued and by whom; and our critical lens as educators.
We will have an opportunity to work with Apache Elementary School teacher Charlotte Bradshaw and her 4th graders on a family history Chautauqua project this semester. This interaction will provide you with a rich, hands-on practicum experience.
In your dual role as both teacher and student you may gain practical experience and bring more value and understanding to our course text content.
I am looking forward to learning along side all of you!
Frances Vitali
