Misconceptions Nip misconceptions in the bud, know what Qlis are and what they aren’t
What they aren’t...
What they are...
Random activities just for fun to make students like you or to just feel good.
Research based practices used to intentionally develop alliances, agency, and self-efficacy in order to empower students.
“Doing interactions” instead of teaching. E.g. not teaching math content because you are spending the first four weeks of school “connecting.”
Tied to explicit learning objectives and grounded in standards.
Isolated activities that are “worked on” one at a time until they are “mastered”.
Interactions and strategies that are best implemented alongside and in conjunction with each other, and embedded into content learning.
A teacher sharing tons of pictures of their own vacation/house/yard/etc.
Authentic and relevant to students’ lived experiences.
Consider your positionality, power, and privilege. We all have bias that can potentially influence us or cause harm. This highlights the importance of the critical self-awareness necessary to building alliances.
QLIs and QTPs must be tied to learning. Even when we are connecting with students, it is in service of not just getting to know them, but designing instruction that is tied to standards and is culturally relevant and sustaining.
