How do we involve our students, colleagues, and families in the processes of disrupting inequitable systems and co-creating learning spaces that are revolutionary and liberatory? \r\n\r\nBased on the work of scholars Barbara Love, bell hooks, and Bettina Love, this conversation will build on educators\u2019 ideas of love, liberation, and inclusion within their work. Our time together will also involve the analysis of internal and external barriers preventing progress and institutional change within schools - personal experiences, school and\/or district policies, capacity, curriculum, colleague relationships, etc. In this space, we will introduce frameworks and resources that can be used by educators seeking to navigate tensions and build coalitions within their school. In sum, we would like to facilitate a conversation that allows educators to truly dream of liberation, to unpack barriers to that liberation within their schools and communities, and to begin to develop ambitious action plans to achieve their goals of equity, inclusion, and liberation in schools.","Link":[],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"This conversation will utilize many conversational techniques that center intentional relationship-building and reflection. For example, we will begin with a community builder, transition into individual reflection with sharing occurring in constructivist listening dyads. The conversation will involve a lot of participant engagement via chalk talk and contributions to a resource that may be shared widely with educators seeking to navigate similar tensions and challenges in their own schools. This session will be full of love, fun, dialogue, and action planning.","Presenter":["shea martin","Lizzie Fortin"],"PresenterAffiliation":[],"PresenterEmail":["writeshea@gmail.com","lizzie.fortin@gmail.com"],"ScheduleSlotID":131,"ScheduleLocationID":6,"SubmitterID":79,"AdditionalComments":null,"LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":9},{"ID":1044,"Class":"Conversation","Created":1575404391,"CreatorID":79,"RevisionID":null,"Status":"Accepted","Title":"Sustaining a Mission","Handle":"sustaining_a_mission","ShortDescription":"Any look at the history of education will show a frustrating landscape of good ideas and fast starts that slowly degraded over time.

Students expect that their privacy will be protected when they enter the school, the classroom, and onto virtual educational spaces. Educational Technology (edtech), now used for both pedagogy and administration, often collects personal and private information. We need to make privacy choices in the classroom when we use edtech to instruct and inspire. We have to consider our privacy options in the schools\u2019 administrative functions, looking at student behavior, special ed, healthcare, and law enforcement interactions. At the boundary between school and home, we\u2019ll discuss privacy options for managing homework and extracurriculars. \r\n\r\nTo start the conversation, Common Sense will share a matrix cross-referencing the types of personal information that might be collected with the people you might want to share it with (or not). The Trust Spectrum matrix requires you to think about what kind of information is shared, both voluntarily and inadvertently, with edtech vendors. For example, would you share your email address with a government agency, and under what circumstances? Is it okay for a student to share their ethnic background or identity with advertisers? Are we okay with collecting biometric data, like voice recordings and face identification? Are there some kinds of data you would never share? Or, are there certain circumstances where you would share no personal information?
