Samantha M. Lopez (’19)

Academic Coordinator

Joel加入EDFN之前,他参加了认证项目,并参加了EDFN 4200必修课程,该课程涉及种族问题, gender, sexuality and how students experience discrimination. 这导致他们参加了另一个EDFN课程,并在他们申请该项目后不久. When speaking on the program, 乔尔分享说:“这些课程真的促使我更批判性地思考,这需要我花更多的时间来理解理论和概念,以及如何将它们应用到我的教育实践中。, were the classes that I found most rewarding. 主要是因为教授们真心相信我的思考和写作能力. Their belief in me, along with providing me with the tools to succeed in their classes, made me believe in myself as a thinker, educator, and researcher.”

乔尔给未来学生的一条建议是认真对待, reflect on yourself and your experiences, and be ready to have tough conversations. 同时,准备好阅读、思考、写作,并不断地循环这些过程. Joel plans to apply to a Ph.D program in Education at UC Santa Cruz for Fall 2021.


 

Alexandria Vickery (’20)
Community Schools Manager

Prior to joining the EDFN program, Alexandria worked in several educational institutions, including as a public school teacher. 她看到她的几个学生的需求长期得不到满足,她认为自己没有能力以一种有实际意义的方式帮助他们. She shares, “I wanted an interdisciplinary, collaborative, 还有社会意识的空间来重新构想公立学校系统, 教育基金会项目提供了一个关注社会的机会, psychological, and institutional bases of the public school system.”

这个项目为她学习现代社会的运作提供了流动性, urban, public school system, as well as lots of room and encouragement to bring her full self, beliefs, and experiences. “In the program, 我能够将不同的兴趣结合在一起:用非殖民主义的方法来开发课程, implementation of anti-racist educational practices, and development of strengths-based, trauma-informed teaching strategies.特别有价值的是,我能够和这个领域的同行和专家一起做这件事, while working in schools and with students, bringing theory to practice and practice to theory. By directly addressing the inequality of opportunity within culturally, linguistically, and ability-diverse contexts of urban schooling, EDFN为我提供了一个机会,加强我作为一个积极响应的教育者的角色,并成为一个真正关心其选民的教育系统运动的负责任的一部分.”

亚历山大给未来学生的一条建议是,如果你对这个项目的了解引起了共鸣, go for it, and you will find community in your efforts. Alexandria hopes to become a Program Director working in public schools, advancing a Community School model broadly within a local school district.
