Hi everyone! Love the backgrounds and background music :)

Welcome everyone, we’ll get started soon.

Hi everyone, looking forward to this.

Hi Nicol

Oh there’s Doc Brown :) *waves*

Hi Shuci! *waves*

Looking forward to the framework.

Such a great initiative!

so awesome, very excited for this

Agreed, Shuchi!

Great to see youth included in this work and that there will be funding to support projects and translate into practice.

Oh, Hi Shana!

Go Bruins!

"theres a difference between acquisition and learning" -- love it!!

definitely not neutral to identity

How affirming to hear recognition of his brilliance from those who identified his language as meaningful

Agreed, Nicole! Gee (referenced here) writes a lot about socially situated identities and language. I wish more people understood the concept.

Ooops, didn't see the entire name in the chat. Sorry for misspelling your name, Nicol!

Feel free to use the Q&A box to ask questions located at the bottom of your Zoom screen.

We’ll have time for Q&A at the end of this presentation.

Spell check got me too. Just saw I misspelled Shuchi earlier. Apologies, Shuchi.

Trying something out. Trail + maybe error

No worries :)

That resonates with our approaches on concepts before coding or unplugged activities to allow kids to engage with the ideas before they learn the coding syntax

Great ideas — I need to jump off.. happy to be involved in this wonderful effort! Good seeing you, Bryan, and everyone :)

Thanks for sharing such great examples!

Great work & discussion!

Outstanding presentation!

I have never been so excited learning about how to improve my teaching than I am feeling now

I was thinking I’d let my students choose between that book above and also a few others I just learned about in the “Coded Bias” doc that was just released.

Thanks, Bissrat!

Blocks-based languages first!

Likewise!

(just not Java...)

True! Assumes all kids of a particular background like rap...

I recently unpacked Ladonson-Billings' paper in a podcast I recorded: https://jaredoleary.com/csk8feed/40 Another misconception I've seen is people conflating CRP with culturally essentialized curriculum.

I can't spell today
