Kristina E Cerling replied to the topic "In her blindness I see my own" (Response Chs. 7-11; Epilogue) in the forum On Austrian Soil – 2017 Summer Seminar Responses 6 years, 10 months ago
I keep thinking about the role of bystanders. Yes, I am working on that for our seminar time; however, this topic is frightening to me. I recently visited Little Rock Central High School (The Little Rock Crisis/ Little Rock Nine). My daughters and I read several books and articles about and authored by members of the Little Rock Nine. I found…[Read more]

Elisa,
Thank you for sharing this resource. I like the conversation about starting with identity. I often start with names. What are the names we have and what we are called. Then tie it to identity and the importance of who we are. -

Thank you for sharing this quote. The importance of silence (either positive or negative) is such a big point. I don’t want to be silent and don’t want my own children and students to be silent. By the same token, I sometimes struggle with the loudness of response. There are times that only a scream will break the Silence. I look forward to…[Read more]

Eric.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the weather. I think it is funny how we use weather as a talking point when we don’t know what to say or are trying to avoid challenging topics. I really appreciate your point about the weather during the tour. I don’t think I noticed it in the same way or perhaps with the same depth. I have now…[Read more] -

Thank you for sharing how you approached this lesson/reading with your students. I really appreciate the idea of them thinking of their own story, beliefs, and responses.
I feel like we have to know why we are doing something, do the preparation behind it, and then challenge the process! It seems like you did just that while engaging your…[Read more]

Kristina E Cerling replied to the topic Response "Ability" – Student Sharing and Vulnerability in the Classroom in the forum On Austrian Soil – 2017 Summer Seminar Responses 6 years, 11 months ago
When I initially read the book, I was struck by the term Response “Ability” and have used it numerous times since last summer. When teaching an English class this past fall, we discussed our individual and our community Response “Ability” to what we were seeing in our nation and local cities. This changed the way we approached a lot of our…[Read more]

Kristina E Cerling replied to the topic Welcome and hello to the 2017 cohort in the forum 2017 Summer Seminar Participant Introductions 7 years ago
Hi, all!
As a military kid who lived all over the US, I learned early on about the importance of really seeing and hearing other people. The experience of living everywhere from Maine to California created a sense of respect for learning about others and a desire to share life.I settled in Indiana to attend college and never left. My degree…[Read more]
