      I think we have begun to do a much better job as a country with this since this article was published

    6. Many of the educators working with AfricanAmerican students are "white, middle-class, mono-lingual English-speaking women and men who havehad little direct experience with cultural, ethnic,linguistic or other kinds of diversity"

      I have seen this in my own community-- often the demographics of teachers do not represent the demographics of the students they serve

    1. He argues that teaching more people toavail themselves of the linguistic and rhetorical potency of code-meshedEnglishes is a more politically responsible and pedagogically efficaciousapproach to the teaching of writing for all students.

      code meshing doesnt only help minority students, but also everyone.

    2. oung notes the ubiquity ofcode-meshing in public discourse, both professional and political, andthe relative silence of the teaching profession on the prevalence and rhe-torical value of code-meshing.

      Everywhere else, code meshing is utilized. However schools act like its not a thing.

    3. Young advocates for a code-meshingpedagogy that teaches the conflicts associated with language use: thepower dynamics that inform the reception, valuation, privileging,and disenfranchising not only of dialects but also of their speakers andwriters.

      Code meshing helps students understand the actual issues of language and the power it holds.

    4. Young suggests that teach-ing students of colour to speak and write the favoured dialect ratherthan addressing the racism that, among other harms it inflicts, promotesthat dialect over and against students’ own languages constitutes akind of resignation to racism

      Forcing students to change dialects gives into the racism.

    5. He points out the implicit or agenticracism that shapes teachers’ “address” of linguistic racism by “puttinganother dialect, evidently one favoured by those perpetrating prejudice,in the mouths of the disadvantaged” (p. 55).

      Teachers force students to use EAE instead of realizing that EAE is privledged.

    6. Each writeraddresses language and rhetorical diversity—code-meshing—from theirdisciplinary vantage point

      multiple experts agree code meshing matters across fields.

      Others Peoples English is open minded and pushes educators to rethink language norms.

    8. While there is no easy exit from the morass of racial politics inNorth America and the roles assigned to teachers of writing, reading,and speaking within that morass, there are alternatives to thoughtlesslygoing along. If there is insufficient work within the field of writing stud-ies to teach us how to think more deeply and effectively about antiracistpedagogical practice in the writing centre, then perhaps we may findaid in published scholarship outside the field, as well as inspiration anda firmer footing for producing our own. In this regard, two recentlypublished books stand out to me as offering both a richly developedtheoretical framework and teaching advice that can easily be transferredfrom the classroom to the writing centre context: Other People’s English:Code-Meshing, Code-Switching, and African American Literacy, written byVershawn Ashanti Young, Rusty Barrett, Y’Shanda Young-Rivera,& Kim Brian Lovejoy (2014) (published by Teachers College Press),and Survivance, Sovereignty, and Story: Teaching American Indian Rhetorics,edited by Lisa King, Rose Gubele, & Joyce Rain Anderson (2015b)(published by Utah State University Press).

      its hard to escape racism in writing education. Teachers can use existing scholarship to learn how to teach fairly.

    9. f we speak for and gate keep on behalf of racistlinguistic and rhetorical intolerance and exclusion, that’s the house inwhich we will live. And if we tutor student-writers to do the same, thenthat’s the house in which they will live as well.

      Enforcing "proper English" is also maintaining racism.

    10. Displacing responsibility for the ways in which racism inflects andinforms the reception of othered languages, discourses, and rhetoricaltraditions—and the speakers and writers of those languages, discourses,and traditions—within and beyond the academy will never alleviatethe degree to which writing centre directors and tutors are implicated.

      Teachers cant pretend racism in lanaguage isnt a thing as its part of the system already.

    11. The first concern is, I think, at least partially true. We have somework to turn to within our field to begin to learn how to prepare ourThe Writing Center Journal 36.1 | 2017 219tutors and ourselves to encourage, support, and teach linguistic andrhetorical diversity, but not enough. We need to learn more.

      Author says writing centers dont fully know how to teach or support language diversity yet.

    12. chol-arship that does address theory, practice, and pedagogy of languagediversity (and its intersections with racial justice) is largely being pro-duced outside the field of writing centre studies

      Research on diverse languages come from other fields.

    13. For over 20 years, I have been attending conference panels anddelivering my own conference papers, reading published material, andpublishing my own articles, chapters, and books that include a call forwriting centres to offer some critical account in our pedagogical practiceof racism in the teaching of tutors and tutoring in writing and to at leastconsider what might constitute an antiracist writing centre theory andpractice. And of all the concerns and objections I have heard raised inresponse to this body of work, the ones that seem to me most common,most sincere, and most troubling are these: that we don’t know how toteach and tutor linguistic and rhetorical diversity (often expressed as theclaim that to do so is impossible) and/or that we continue to fear thatto encourage and foster such diversity among our students will set themup for failure within and beyond the academy—for though we are notracists and do not subscribe to linguistic and rhetorical intolerance, theworld is and does. We need to prepare our students—particularly thosewhose mother tongues and rhetorical traditions have historically beenmarked as Other and deficient in contrast to EAE—so this reasoninggoes, to survive in a white supremacist world. To overturn, transform,or even to intervene in systemic and institutional racism (particularlyas they pertain to linguistic and rhetorical diversity) from the writingcentre is impossible.

      Some teachers beleive that its impossible to teach students diverse langauges. A fear is that students will fail because they live in a white supremacist society that rewards only “standard” English.

    1. Participating students reportedly appreciated the way their instructor allowed them to have class discussions in Arabic and write EFL activities in English (see Table 6, Item 1)

      Participating students enjoyed the instructor's lesson plan to have them have class discussions in Arabic and write their EFL activities in English. This is a tangible example of what was done in the study.

    2. study investigated the motivational benefits of using translanguaging along this continuum.

      This study observed the value of motivation students have with translanguaging

    3. the focus of such work has been more on learner attitudes and acceptability and less on the strategies used by instructors to motivate learners.

      This suggests a nuance in what the goal is; Do we want the most success academically, or do we want cooperative connections and learner acceptance in class rooms?

    4. This phenomenon goes beyond code-switching, encompassing "any practices that draw on an individual's linguistic and semiotic repertoires," such as "reading in one language and discussing the reading in another" (p. 5).

      I'm assuming they're saying because it's more deliberate of speaking in one language for one session of speech and then switching to another-- that is going beyond code-switching which includes words of multiple dialects in one sentence.

    1. Finally, a particular resourceis only useful to the extent that metadata make clear what types of language it includes interms of semantic content, linguistic functions, and grammatical constructions. Extractingexamples of functionally relevant language can be like a treasure hunt, and useful tokensof speech may be embedded in a nonrelated stretch of discourse or descriptive prose. Ourgoal is to develop materials and activities that promote interaction in the language.

      Old records often hide useful examples, so the authors aim to make clear, well-labeled resources that help learners actively use the language.

    2. Of the variety of revitalization activities communitymembers engage in, formal teaching is often the most visible. In addition, this may be theactivity that most needs teaching and learning materials. As such, our focus will be oncreating materials for formal teaching in a classroom setting. However, the techniquesdescribed may be used by anyone interested in using available documentation to developmaterials and activities to support revitalization.

      Of all language revival methods, classroom teaching is the most visible and needs the most materials. The authors focus on making resources for classes, but their ideas can help anyone use old records for revitalization.

    3. Such documentation may formthe basis for academic descriptions such as reference grammars. Ideally, language docu-mentation projects take into account a wide range of possible end users and are conductedin collaboration with a number of stakeholders. However, for many speech communities,the reality is that what is available is far from perfect. It is just this type of situation, one inwhich available documentation of a language does not provide ideal support for revitaliza-tion, that motivates this article.

      Old records often form the basis for academic works like grammars. Ideally, they’d be made with input from both scholars and community members, but many are incomplete or not very useful for revival. This article looks at how to use imperfect records to still help bring a language back.

    4. The division between ‘outsideracademic’ and ‘insider speech community member’ is often blurred as more and morespeech community members seek out the tools and training to conduct academic researchon their own heritage languages.

      The gap between researchers and community members is shrinking as more Indigenous and local people learn to study and document their own languages.

    5. As there is no ‘one size fits all’ in language revitalization, we aim to provide a variety ofreal-world examples that can stimulate additional ideas for readers’ individual situations.Rather than a replicable model to be followed to the letter, we explore varied ways in whichthose we work with have integrated documentation and support for revitalization. Ourfocus on practical application is grounded in theories of second-language acquisition thatfoster communicative competence and emphasize creativity and interaction in the languageover rote memorization of forms in isolation.

      There’s no one-size-fits-all for language revival. The authors share real examples of using old records creatively, focusing on communication and interaction rather than just grammar drills.

    6. For speech communities with few to no remainingfirst-language speakers, extant documentation and description may be the only availablerecord of the language. Even in communities that still have first-language speakers, anurgency to begin activities in support of revitalization leaves many community membersunable to wait for the products of a new documentation project to be complete befo

      When few or no fluent speakers remain, old records may be all that’s left of the language. Even where some speakers exist, people must teach it immediately using the materials they already have.

    7. For communities that no longer have members who speak the language with native-likeconfidence, there is unlikely to be new documentation forthcoming. The current trend inwork with speakers of endangered languages is toward more collaborative models that seekto meet the needs of a wider array of stakeholders in a language project (Yamada 2007,2010;1 Czaykowska-Higgins 2009; Florey 2004; Penfield et al. 2008; Rice 2011; Stebbins2003).

      If a community has no fluent speakers left, they can’t expect new documentation to be made. Instead, recent work with endangered languages focuses on collaboration

    8. The traditional triad in documentation and description of lesser studied languages is anacademic reference grammar, a word list or dictionary, and a collection of transcribed andtranslated texts of spoken language. Although these documents provide a wealth of infor-mation about a language for those with enough linguistics training to be able to decipherthem, those with more limited training may find such representations intimidatingly

      Linguists usually document a language by creating a grammar, a dictionary, and written transcripts of speech, there are helpful for experts, but regular people without linguistics training often find them too difficult to understand or use.

    9. As the language has no living first-language speakers, she and othersin similar situations must rely on existing documentation to develop teaching and learningmaterials. As documentation often was produced for an academic audience, it may not beimmediately useful to those most affected by language endangerment–speech communitymembers themselves. In this article, we address how documentation for an academic audi-ence might be used to support revitalization activities.

      The author explains that many people trying to reconnect with an endangered language just want to learn basic everyday expressions, but because the language has no fluent speakers left, they have to depend on old documentation written by linguists.

    1. n 1983, at the age of twenty-one, Michael Johnson 1 had a deadly confrontation with a drug dealer and was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to fifteen-years-to-life. He spent the next twenty-eight years in California prisons. While incarcerated, Johnson earned his drug counselor certification through an offender-mentor certification program. He cofounded a program that tutors offenders to take their General Education Development high school equivalency test. He also became a licensed x-ray technician and was a team coordinator for California’s Alter- natives to Violence Project. After release, Johnson earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology, graduating summa cum laude. He is an alcohol and drug counselor in two different California counties and a lead facilitator for an Alternatives to Violence Project in his home town. Johnson’s efforts were recently recognized by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Johnson is well remembered by those remaining within the walls of the prison; his life continues to shine as a beacon of hope to those who knew him. ‘‘I have been helped greatly by the kindness of others,’’ Johnson remembers. ‘‘I was shown unconditional love and com- passion. I want to pass that on to everyone I meet.’’ Vincent Morales was sentenced to fifteen years in prison. As he came closer to his release date, he realized he needed skills in order to support his family. He chose a woodworking arts program, where he developed carpentry skills with an emphasis on crafting guitars. Upon release, he taught his son and brother his artistry. Over a period of years, they developed a family business where Morales and his son now build high- end guitars for famous artists.

C O M Justine Sultano struggled with substance abuse for a long time, eventually committing a crime and receiving a five-year prison sentence. While in prison, she took advantage of the rehabilitative services offered by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), participated in self- help groups, received substance-use disorder treatment, and pursued academic and career technical education programs. While in prison, Justine mastered software programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Upon her release, she entered a rehabilitation facility in San Francisco, where she learned how to send emails, create a re´sume´, and search for a job. After eighteen months, Justine found a desk-clerk position at a local business. After leaving the rehabilitation facility, she enrolled in a prison-run program that provided transitional housing and emotional support; it also helped her navigate the court process to regain custody of her daughter. Sultano states, ‘‘I used to be a person who pointed fingers at others for my problems, but through the programs offered by CDCR, I learned to be honest and upfront with who I was, and where I wanted to go, and CDCR’s programs helped me get here.’’ Justine completed her journey with CDCR on 9 Septem- ber, 2015, successfully finishing her parole. Today, she still works at the local business, has custody of her daughter, and plans to attend school this year to further her career. Every day, men and women are released from prison and return to their homes and communities. Unfortunately, many will commit another crime and return to prison. CDCR has the tools to break the cycle and give offenders the skills that will enable them to be productive members of our communities. Assessment The Division of Rehabilitative Programs (DRP), the rehabil- itative arm of CDCR, provides programming and teaches skills to both prisoners and parolees to reduce their re- conviction or return-to-prison rate, three years after release from a CDCR institution. As part of CDCR, DRP exists to help prisoners leave prison with better life and job skills, more education, and the confidence to reintegrate into our communities. This process begins the moment they enter the prison system through the community reentry process. BOO M | S U M M E R 2 0 1 6 53 Once a convicted felon enters the prison system, their likelihood of being convicted of a new crime is based on a range of risk factors. CDCR uses the California Static Risk Assessment (CSRA) tool to calculate an offender’s risk of being convicted of a new offense after release from prison. Based on their criminal history and demographics, offen- ders are designated as having a low, moderate, or high risk of being convicted of a new offense after release. CDCR uses the Correctional Offender Management and Profiling Alternative Sanctions (COMPAS) tool to assess an offender’s criminogenic needs and inform decisions regard- ing placement, supervision, and case management. Once a prisoner’s needs are assessed, a correctional counselor assists them with program placement. Prisoners have many in-prison rehabilitative services and programs available to them statewide, including treatment for sub- stance abuse, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), aca- demic and college education, and technical training. According to CDCR’s 2014 Outcome Evaluation Report, offenders who received in-prison Substance Abuse Treat- ment (SAT) and completed aftercare returned to prison at a lower rate (20.9 percent) after three years of follow-up than offenders who did not receive in-prison SAT or after- care (55.6 percent). Statewide, the three-year return to prison rate—CDCR’s primary measure of recidivism—for all offenders released in fiscal year 2011-12 was almost double (54.3 percent) the rate of offenders who received in-prison SAT and completed aftercare (20.9 percent). 2 CBT addresses negative patterns of thought that can potentially lead to criminal relapse. Negative patterns might include anything from substance abuse, anger mismanage- ment, strained family relationships, and a propensity to think about committing crimes. These negative patterns are addressed through treatment, individual and group discus- sions, counseling, motivational interviewing, role-playing, and other methods. CBT programs help prisoners deter- mine what leads them to certain actions and how to avoid situations that can trigger relapse. Continuing Education DRP’s Office of Correctional Education (OCE) provides edu- cation programming developed to prepare prisoners upon their release. OCE has established an array of educational programs that enhance the prisoners’ skill levels while providing effective tools and resources to reduce recidi- vism. 3 In fact, many enter prison with poor literacy skills and no vocational trade or college diploma. Most prisoners attend classes for at least thirty hours per week in a traditional school setting with desks, marker boards, and a teacher. Mobilizing thousands of students throughout state prisons and classrooms presents organi- zational and safety challenges, but DRP is committed to organizing classes based upon a model that provides indi- vidualized, self-paced programs for each prisoner. Those who fail to meet the behavior standards are not allowed to attend classes. During incarceration, prisoners are tested for basic reading comprehension. If a prisoner demonstrates skills lower than a ninth-grade level, they are enrolled in the Adult Basic Education (ABE) program, offering more remedial levels of education. 4 ABE is an academic program emphasizing reading, writing, and mathematics. ABE pre- pares prisoners for entry into a high school equivalency or high school diploma program, which they can complete in prison. The OCE currently provides 19 CTE programs designed to train prisoners for a career path in multiple employment and vocational sectors upon release. 5 These sectors include building and construction, energy and utilities, finance and business, public service, manufacturing and product development, and transportation. Many CTE programs include green employment skills relevant to solar, geother- mal, and smart energy management practices. Each pro- gram aligns with a positive employment outlook within the state of California, providing opportunities to earn a livable wage. For many prisoners, having the ability and opportuni- ties to earn a livable wage marks the difference between relapsing into crime or becoming a contributing member of the community. Others focus on a college education, many receiving Associate of Arts degrees in Sociology, Human Services, Business, and General Studies. The Transition Transitioning back to society can be intimidating for prison- ers; often the world has shifted dramatically during years of incarceration. The shock of little-to-no contact with the 54 B O O M C A L I F O R N I A . C O M outside world, followed by release into the community fueled with new technology can be overwhelming without assistance. The Male Community Reentry Program (MCRP) is one of CDCR’s efforts to support the transition back into society. 6 CDCR contracts with established community pro- viders for housing, treatment, and other rehabilitative services. To ease reentry into society, the MCRP allows eligible prisoners to serve the last six months of their sentences in a contracted provider’s community facility instead of state prison. Not quite the same as a halfway house, an older term now used to designate sober living homes, in the case of MCRP men are still ‘‘in custody.’’ Parole is also technically a version of being ‘‘in custody,’’ and yet the MCRP function is both pre-parole and pre-release. The significance of this is found when many inmates today, especially with so many increased commuted sentences from major sentencing law changes, never become paroled. MCRP participants are assisted in obtaining their California identification and Social Security cards—both necessary to find employment. Re´sume´ writing, professional certifications, and job search assistance are also provided. If a qualified participant finds a job while participating in MCRP, they are allowed to work while still serving their remaining sentence, and the money they earn is saved for use upon release. In addition, prison- ers in the MCRP are provided access to a wide range of community-based rehabilitative services designed to deflect negative thought patterns that can lead to relapse, such as CBT. Some prisoners close to release from prison may not be eligible for the MCRP due to their level of offense or med- ical/mental health needs. Instead, they are assigned to an in- prison reentry program, where they can receive similar rehabilitative services such as CTE classes, substance-use disorder treatment, anger management and family relation- ship counseling, and trauma informed gender-responsive treatment for women. While some of these programs may be available to prisoners with longer sentences, the in- prison reentry program’s primary focus is to prepare those who will soon return to our communities. Reentry pro- grams provide prisoners, within 18 months of release, with training for career readiness, job search skills, and practical financial literacy to facilitate a successful reentry into their communities. BOO M | S U M M E R 2 0 1 6 55 Technological Advances Like other educational institutions, California’s prisons are harnessing technology to better reach students. Implement- ing new technology in California prisons poses a raft of challenges due to the physical space, location, security, con- nectivity, firewalls, and funding requirements. However, these challenges are not insurmountable. 7 E-readers allow prisoners enrolled in college correspon- dence programs to study for their classes with digital text- books. They also allow prisoners living in high security areas to continue their education through independent study. Streaming television channels exponentially increase the quantity and quality of media content currently available for education, rehabilitation, and training purposes within Cali- fornia’s prison system. Four channels were branded and designated to stream specific content to aid prisoners in different stages and areas of their rehabilitation process. The four channels managed by and streamed to the institutions directly from CDCR headquarters focus on four subjects critical to the success of a recently released prisoner. Freedom TV focuses on how to prepare for reentry to society. Formerly incarcerated individuals and community members help prisoners prepare for the roadblocks they may face upon reentry. Wellness TV provides inmates infor- mation on developing and maintaining healthy habits. This channel teaches the factors that affect wellness of mind and body. Education TV streams academic programming com- plementing the lessons taught within the education classes developed by OCE and community colleges. Employment TV teaches job search techniques, interviewing skills, re´sume´ building and financial literacy. Continuing Rehabilitation Some prisoners, depending on the duration of their sentence, may not complete all programming by the time of their release. To address this issue, Community Reentry Services (CRS) offers rehabilitative DRP services outside of prison.8 CRS works with contracted community-based partnerships statewide, creating a network of services for parolees. This network provides education, substance-use disorder treat- ment, transitional housing, life skills training, financial plan- ning, and assistance in reestablishing family relationships. Thus, DRP displays a commitment to provide prisoners ongoing rehabilitation in an effort to prevent recidivism. Relapses, especially in criminal thinking, can be very hard to avoid and sometimes take years to overcome. Reducing recidivism is, therefore, a continuous effort— an effort that requires more than conventional tools. The Way Forward Part of the effort to ensure quality and proper programming for prisoners includes a governor-commissioned ‘‘Lifer’’ advisory committee, consisting of 20 to 30 formerly incar- cerated men and women who successfully reintegrated into society. Under the direction of DRP, this advisory group meets to weigh the strengths and weaknesses of the in- prison and community reentry system. As portrayed on reality television shows and often in the news media, California prisons can be very difficult, violent places. The media often misses, however, the many positive programs available to those who desire to change. Tens of thousands of California prisoners are enrolled in some form of rehabilitative program—most want to change. Many are carrying books, not shackles. Many encourage peace, not violence. Most will return to our communities. It is our duty to help them become productive citizens when they do

    1. A dialect is often identified as a variety of a language spoken by a group of people.

      For example, AAVE is a dialect of English. Online/Texting language is also a dialect of English.

    1. Teachers need to be prepared for the emotions that will be evoked by the visual text. They also need to be ready to communicate with other teachers, with administrators, with parents, and with students about the importance of utilizing this medium to teach about issues related to diversity

      Film can do powerful work and it also brings strong emotions, so the plan has to match the medium. Set clear learning goals tied to standards, give content notes in advance, and offer a real alternative path for any student who needs it without penalty. Co create discussion norms, use short scenes with frequent pauses to analyze choices, and build in prepare before and debrief after so students can process what they see.

    2. They can also use cultural studies to make sense of how society creates categories of self and other around a host of identifiers such as race, class, gender, sexuality, home language, and religion.

      Because the topics are heavy, set clear discussion norms, offer content notes, and give alternative scene choices so students can opt into material at a level that feels safe. Tie everything back to core ELA skills like citing evidence, analyzing author director choices, and writing for a real audience. Done this way, the unit uses film to build empathy and sharpen critique while giving students practice naming how race, class, gender, language, and religion get represented in everyday media.

    3. Their willingness to identify with this text enables them to bridge their worlds and the film text and to embrace the text at a critical level. Rather than looking at Carl Lee and the others as fic-tional characters, they are looking at what they represent to their own lives in creating that universal plane of knowledge.

      I like how the students’ identification opens a door to deeper critique, because it ties the film to lived experience and makes power visible. It is also a good place to press on complexity. If torching the Klan wizard reads as justice, what does that say about how the film frames law, vengeance, and protection when institutions fail. Who gets legitimacy and who is denied it. Does celebrating Carl Lee’s exoneration address structural racism or resolve it through a single exceptional case. You can keep the empowering lens while adding others by asking how the courtroom, the press, and missing community voices shape what counts as justice, and whether the film invites empathy at the cost of flattening the risks of extrajudicial violence.

    4. Critical Pedagogy in an Urban High School English Classroom 59 also drew upon photographs, video footage, and other artifacts to exemplify the conditions of the various schools.

      This is a strong move from discussion to civic action. Putting students in the role of policymakers, sending them to interview administrators and peers in both a wealthy school and their own, and asking them to marshal photos and video turns equity into something visible and arguable. It is authentic assessment, and it teaches research, audience awareness, and evidence use all at once.

    5. Anthropologist Clifford Geertz claims that the more we study the cul-tural practices of others, the more these practices seem logical to us (2000, 16) and the more they help us to understand our own practices as equally unique and equally meaningful

      As a university international student, I like this because it treats literature as a bridge, not just something to tear down. Pairing Shakespeare or Donne with the Fugees, and reading the Odyssey and Beowulf through themes like heroism, sexism, and violence, makes the classics feel present and tied to our lives. As Geertz says, studying other practices helps us see our own as one meaningful way among many. This builds empathy and strong close reading at the same time.

    6. Through our reading of critical theory and our work with urban adolescents we came to understand the importance of studying dominant texts to the development and mainte-nance of a revolutionary consciousness for both teachers and the students in their classroom

      This passage makes a clear and honest point. If we want students to argue back to power, they need fluency in the language of power and the literacy habits that go with it. I also hear a risk that many of us have seen. Teaching Standard English can slide into subtractive English only. The way through is an additive stance. Treat home languages and dialects as assets while building LWC as another register for school, work, and civic life. In practice that looks like code meshing in drafts with audience aware editing for finals, side by side reading of dominant texts and community texts, and explicit lessons on how authors in power make meaning. That way comprehension feeds critique, and critique does not require students to leave parts of themselves at the door.

    7. gain, educators and researchers look to critical pedagogy as they con-sider ways to motivate students, to develop literacies and numeracies of power, and to engage students and their communities in the struggle for edu-cational justice.

      As a university international student, this reads like a plan that starts with big ideas and then tests them in real classrooms. They try critical pedagogy in an Oakland English class and in teams and summer programs, then learn from what actually happens. I like that they refuse the usual tradeoff between rigor and freedom. My best classes challenge me on close reading and writing while also letting us connect literature to our lives and communities. I want to see the concrete moves, like how they run discussions, what texts they pair, and how they grade so civic voice counts along with standards. I do still wonder how much time this takes and how it works when the teacher is new. Even so, it feels promising because the theory grows out of students and daily practice, not just a lecture.

    1. This study's findings highlight the important role of translanguaging as an effective pedagogical method for improving English language acquisition in EFL classrooms, especially at the high school level in Indonesia.

      The study concludes overall that translanguaging is a highly-effective way of teaching English to non-English speakers and is an important role for all teachers to adopt for their students' success.

    2. 1) knowledge construction, which pertains to utilizing Translanguaging for comprehension of the subject matter; 2) classroom management, wherein educators employ translanguaging to oversee student conduct during the learning process; 3) interpersonal relationships, encompassing the teacher's initiatives to foster connections with students; and 4) personal and affective meanings, which signify the articulation of personal experiences, emotions, and sociocultural dimensions of the educator.

      The four primary functions of translanguaging are; 1.) Knowledge construction 2.) Classroom management 3.) Interpersonal relationships between teachers and students 4.) Personal and affective meanings to articulate the multiple dimensions of the educator

    3. Baker (2001) highlighted four advantages of translanguaging in bilingual or multilingual education. Initially, it improves content comprehension by prompting students to read in one language and write in another, fostering deeper analysis and understanding. Secondly, it enhances proficiency in the less dominant language by augmenting communication and reading abilities, thereby fostering bilingualism and biliteracy. Third, it enhances home-school links, enabling kids to discuss academic content at home in their mother language, so facilitating comprehension. Fourth, it promotes classroom integration by uniting students with diverse language proficiency levels, thereby cultivating a more inclusive learning environment.

      The four advantages stated here are; 1.) Content comprehension through prompts read in one language but written in another 2.) Enhances proficiency in the less dominant language by focusing on communication and reading skills 3.) Enhances home-school links by allowing children to discuss topics learned at school in their mother-tongue 4.) Promotes classroom diversity by uniting students under their shared language proficiency

    4. A qualitative study in South Africa examined university students' views on translanguaging academic concepts. Participants said translanguaging group conversations helped them understand complicated English. Despite speaking more than three languages, they thought translanguaging could improve reading comprehension in multilingual classrooms (Mbirimi-Hungwe, 2021). Participants saw linguistic diversity as a learning resource and were generally positive.

      This references a qualitative study done with South African university students stating their experience learning English was easier with translanguaging group conversations. Despite speaking more than three languages, students state reading comprehension came easier. Ultimately a net positive.

    5. In regarding to the teachers' practice on translanguaging in EFL classroom, we observed seven strategies that can be discussed in this article.

      The 7 strategies stated here are; 1.) Reinforce prior knowledge 2.) Translanguaging in grammatical instruction 3.) Facilitate students' responses 4.) Emphasize key points 5.) Promote classroom management 6.) Enhance and build vocabulary understanding 7.) Give clear directions and feedback

    6. translanguaging as a multifaceted discursive process in which students and teachers utilize the complete range of students' linguistic practices.

      Garcia and Wei describe translanguaging as a complex process that passes from one thing to another to enhance student knowledge

    7. translanguaging as a pedagogical practice that involves teaching and learning through multiple languages to enhance students' knowledge, comprehension, and experiences.

      Translanguaging as defined by Williams involving teaching and learning through multiple languages to enhance the knowledge and comprehension of students.

    1. In order to truly engage students’ dynamic idiolects inthe literacy classroom where texts remain relatively staticentities, reading research and instruction can explore theways in which languagers bring themselves into the compre-hension process by providing languaging opportunities withothers in relation to text and in the service of comprehen-sion. Figure 3 reflects one such configuration at the smallgroup level.

      This is why discussion is so important because it can bring together and widen views.

    2. Even when a reader encounters text that might be moreopaque to the reader (i.e., less linguistic awareness to drawon), they must still make sense of it,

      Even if everything was in SE, people could still interpret it differently based on their background.

    3. Building on the idea oflaminated identity (Holland & Leander, 2004) where differ-ent identities can “retain some of their original distinctive-ness” (p. 13) or “thicken” through multiple interactions,linguistic laminating is the layering or building of one’sidiolect vis-a-vis interactions with other languagers orprinted language

      This is what happens through your day to day life, and is why you speak like you do.

    4. In other words, when two languagers commu-nicate, Languager A (La) will intentionally use linguistic fea-tures (e.g., vocabulary, grammar) that they assume are high“quality” with Languager B (Lb).

      These are the fundamentals of Code Meshing.

    5. The term reflects theunique linguistic repertoires upon which the languagerdraws, how they interpret input from other languagers

      How each person understands language based on their upbringing and background.

    1. When and how to use Standard English Maybe you have cousins or friends in other parts of the country, and there have been times when you have misunderstood each other? Perhaps you were trying to play a game that has different names in different parts of the country. Such local words, which are not Standard English, should not be used in formal situations such as in an exam or going for a job interview. In formal situations, it is required that you use Standard English, which also means not using slang words that you would use with your friends.

      standard English used in different parts of country.

    2. Standard English today Although language changes all the time – think of new words like Internet, Web site, and so on – we still use Standard English as the formal form of our language. Standard English is the form that is taught in schools, following set rules of grammar and spelling. Newspapers are written in Standard English and it is used by newsreaders on national television, who need to be understood by people with different local dialects, all over the country.For some people, it is not difficult to use Standard English, because it happens to be their local dialect. But for others in different parts of the country, they may have to remind themselves to follow the rules, including the sentence order and grammar of Standard English, when they are speaking or writing in a formal context. However, Standard English can be spoken in any accent, and must not be confused with talking ‘posh’.

      Different ways to use a formal and informal standard English.

    3. Middle English developed at a crucial time in history, forcing the English language into some stability. One of the main reasons for this was that language started to be written down, and in 1458, the German Johannes Gutenberg invented printing, a process that William Caxton introduced to England in 1475. With all the differences and varieties in the language, Caxton had to make some choices about printing, which served to stabilize and standardize English to a certain extent. Because of where Caxton lived, he chose the east Midlands dialect, the language form used in London and around the southeast. The fixed spellings of what came to be known as Standard English, had been born, and were now, literally, set down in black and white.

      difference and variation about standard English

    4. An important influence then came from the Normans who invaded England with William the Conqueror in 1066. The Normans settled here permanently, bringing with them the French language and Latin. Old English was still spoken by most of the ordinary people, while French and Latin became the languages of the ruling classes, and was used for legal and religious duties.

      The Normans bring french and Latin languages

    5. Do you speak more than one language? Perhaps you are taught French or German at school, or English is your second language, and you speak a different tongue at home. But have you ever thought that you also speak different forms of language? For example, you probably speak to your friends in a way that you would never speak to, say, an interviewer in an interview. Hopefully, you would write differently in an exam than you would in a text message or e-mail! When we communicate with different people and in different situations, we naturally follow different sets of rules and patterns, often without having to think about the switches and transitions we are making. The most used form of English is Standard English.

      the people speak in different forms.

    6. Standard English The history of English is quite a story in itself, with dramatic changes and great variety. Up to about 450, British (Celtic) tribes spoke languages related to modern Welsh, Scots Gaelic, and Irish (Erse). However, the years between 450 and 1066 brought about great change. The Angles, Saxons, and Jutes invaded from North Germany in around 450, and settled on the eastern side of what is now called England. Their language, Anglo-Saxon, spread across to the west of England and developed into what we now call Old English. Many of the words we use today still relate back to Old English – but this was soon to change too. Other invasions, this time in the form of the Vikings from Scandinavia, influenced the language with new words from the Viking's language Old Norse that entered Old English between 800 and 900.

      the language Anglo-Saxon are used in the west of England is called old English.

    1. Teachers at Harlem Prep sought out the same goals during the late 1960s and early 1970s before these strategies were codified in the academy. However, unlike CRP today, these strategies were employed by noncredentialed faculty and in a noisy, open-space class-room in one of the country’s most politically charged moments

      The takeaway for schools today feels very concrete. Hire for connection and curiosity as well as credentials, then coach people to plan from student experience without lowering the bar. Build units that link core texts to local issues, invite community scholars into the room, and let students create public work that matters to their families. Pair relevance with explicit teaching of reading, writing, and problem solving so engagement becomes durable achievement.

    2. Edmund Gordon of Columbia University’s Teachers College in his assess-ment of the school (Gordon, 1972, p.10). Essentially, Harlem Prep teachers crafted lessons and shaped subject matter around the needs of the student because “whatever the word ‘relevant’ meant to the student, the [teaching] staff of Harlem Prep had to bring about a change in attitude so that learning could take on the quality of joy

      What strikes me here is how Harlem Prep was doing what we now call culturally relevant pedagogy before it had a name. Teachers started with students’ lives, listened to the neighborhood, and pulled current events into class so learning felt urgent and personal. Even those who were not from Harlem earned trust by showing up, asking real questions, and tying literature and history back to what students were living. That is why learning turned into joy, not just compliance.

    3. individuals who sought to make a difference in their communities—Humphries was one of the first Harlem Prep graduates—found their way to Harlem Prep as dedicated educators. Finally, three White Catholic nuns from Manhattanville College, dressed in full habit attire, also held a large presence in the school educating students on various subjects.

      It also raises practical questions. How do you support teachers who have heart but little formal training so rigor stays high. Pair community scholars with veteran planners, give real coaching time, co plan units, and use clear rubrics. Create paid pathways so talented aides and alumni can earn credentials without leaving the community. Keep the mission visible in daily work, not only in hiring, by weaving Black history and global perspectives through courses, by building strong advising, and by welcoming families as partners. Do that and diversity becomes a source of academic power, not just a story we tell.

    4. As previously noted, teachers had various levels of expertise, with credentials ranging from those with advanced degrees to, more commonly, those with little to no teaching experience, including recent Harlem Prep alumni.

      This portrait shows why staff diversity is more than a numbers goal. Students saw many ways to be an intellectual. A young teacher who found his calling, an Afrocentric scholar with a big public voice, alumni who came back to teach, immigrant educators, even Catholic nuns. Carpenter’s choice to value lived experience and commitment alongside degrees turned the school into both a mirror and a bridge for students.

    5. Campbell admittedly “floundering” professionally, encouraged him to interview for a teaching job there.

      As a university international student, this part stood out to me because it shows two very different kinds of teacher power. Sandy Campbell had no formal training, yet he created a class where students asked big questions and felt seen. Dr Ben brought deep Afrocentric knowledge and a bold presence that turned history into something alive. Both show that credibility can come from connection, culture, and care, not only from a paper credential.

    6. Harlem Prep became a prominent community effort that sought to reach the increasing youth population who desired

      What I take from this story is the power of design and belief working together. Harlem Prep did not wait for perfect conditions. It offered belonging, serious coursework, close mentoring, and a clear path to college. That combination is rare and it changes people. I wish more public schools used this playbook so students who leave school could return without shame and move quickly toward college. This is not just a tale from the past. It is a reminder that expectations, community, and smart structure can open doors for students who have been told they do not belong.

    7. school’s constant lack of resources and diverse population did not hinder it from sending hundreds of non-traditional students to many highly selective colleges nationwid

      Reading about Harlem Prep really moved me. As an international student, I know what it feels like to be seen as an outsider and then find a place that calls you a scholar. The image of a diploma ceremony in a hot Harlem gym and a school inside an old supermarket shows how little the building matters when adults truly believe in you. John Bell’s words about turning strain into peace stayed with me. They sound like someone reclaiming a future that others had already written off.

    1. For half a centurynow no human hand has touched them. May he rest in peace!

      Montressor reveals to the reader that Fortunato has been dead for over fifty years and nobody has found his body. The "May he rest in peace!" is very ironic for him to say.

    2. Once more I ask you, please, will younot go back? No? If not, then I must leave you. But first I must doeverything I can for you.”

      I wonder if Montressor is talking to himself here?

    3. Throwing them to one side I found the stones which earlier I hadtaken down from the wall. Quickly I began to build the wall again,

      Montressor reveals to the reader that he was the one who took down the wall in the first place.

    4. f oRTunaTo had huRT me athousand times and I had sufferedquietly

      Other than the fact that he was mocked by Fortunato, we don't really know any other reason why Montressor wants to seek revenge on him.

    5. This, I knew, wasenough to make it certain that they would all leave as soon as my backwas turned

      This seems interesting, because it tells the reader something about Montressor. Could it be that the servants loathe Montressor so much that they'd leave the palace vulnerable, even when he explicitly tells them not to leave?

    6. C a s k

      The word cask is a container used to store liquids. It is like a barrel, but Poe must've picked this word for another meaning as well. A Cask is another word for Coffin, which is interesting if we consider the ending of this short story.

    1. Building on the two examples that we have given,in this section, we provide ideas for teachers inter-ested in sustaining their own students’ communitylanguages through code-meshing while also growingstudents’ competencies in DAE. Specifically, we dis-cuss the use of mentor texts, remixing monolingualtexts using code-meshing, and principles of assess-ing students’ code-meshed writing.

      Strategies to implement code meshing to students.

    2. Over the past decade, educators have paid more at-tention to multilingual students’ translanguagingpractices (how bilingual and bidialectal studentsdynamically move across and among languages)and how teachers may recognize and honor stu-dents’ dynamic language practices in the classroom(Baker-Bell, 2013; O. García & Kleifgen, 2010; Pacheco& Miller, 2016). As noted by Pacheco and Miller andby García and Kleifgen, translanguaging pedagogiesencourage students to recruit all of their linguis-tic resources in literacy tasks, rather than separat-ing languages. Indeed, recent research has shownthat such pedagogies can support students in morecomplex literacy practices and cognitive tasks thanthey could accomplish monolingually

      Research shows students can do more advanced reading and thinking when they are allowed to use all their languages, not just English. Translanguaging: using multiple languages together naturally when speaking or writing. Monolingually: using only one language.

    3. Young and Martinez (2011) described code-meshing broadly as the blending of minoritizedlanguages with DAE, encompassing both oral andwritten language practices. Others, however, haveunderstood code-meshing more narrowly as a writ-ing practice in which languag-es are intentionally integrated,particularly within sentences(Canagarajah, 2011). Althoughboth understandings have mer-it, we focus on the latter giv-en our emphasis on writingin this article. Nevertheless,both of these understandingsof code-meshing differ fromcode-switching.

      Code meshing means mixing different languages or dialects together. Some see code meshing as all languages, speaking and writing, while some see it as mixing languages only in writing.

    4. The code-meshing used by Jacobi, Ms. Raniya, andAna and Clarita disrupts the common assumptionthat AAL, Spanish, and DAE are completely separateor incompatible semantic and syntactic systems.

      Proof that different languages are able to be used together.

    5. Ana and Clarita also wove more Spanish, includ-ing entire sentences, into their narrative as well asSpanish and English speech descriptors, such as“responded Tío Germán” (p. 1), “shouted el representa-dor” (p. 2), and “Se preguntó Sofía entre ella misma” (p. 3;“Sofía asked herself”)

      The two students pruposefully mix spanish into their sentences for a more authentic read.

    6. These terms are difficult to translatein culturally meaningful ways, so presenting themin Spanish adds to the cultural authenticity ofthe text.

      Keeping the original words makes it feel more authentic.

    7. Garza’s code-meshing is targeted in that virtual-ly all instances involve substituting Spanish nounsfor English ones and surrounding those words withcontextual clues for the benefit of monolingualEnglish readers.

      code meshing can keep cultural identity but still have other audiences understand by giving context clues.

    8. During these conferences, Ms. Raniya also drewstudents’ attention to the fact that she was writingdown their words. She reread the entire card backto them, sometimes pointing to the words as sheread them, and asked them if they liked how thecard sounded. Students enjoyed seeing and hearingtheir words, true to the way they were spoken. Ms.Raniya also took the opportunity to teach studentsconventions and show how she would add punctua-tion to the writing when necessary.

      Students were allowed and also enjoyed having the freedom of writing what they wanted and hearing it. The students were also taught how to change it when neccessary.

    9. Jacobi’s language choices also indicated an aware-ness of audience, potentially on both Jacobi’s part andMs. Raniya’s. Because the card was for Jacobi’s moth-er, it made sense for him to use the language that hewould use with his mother.

      code meshing was intential here as Jacobi knew who his audience was, his mom and teacher.

    10. Ms. Raniya’s choice tohonor students’ use of AAL by writing their wordsjust as they were spoken came out of her experi-ences in graduate school.

      Ms. Raniya was able to support her students based on her experiences in graduate school.

    11. writing Mother’s Day cardswas one example of how Ms. Raniya created spacefor multilingual students’ code-meshing in her lit-eracy instruction.

      The teacher was able to support Jacobi, a AAL and DAE speaker.

    12. Although multilingual students’ writing andcode-meshing have been the focus of recent research(Gillanders, 2018; Miller & Rowe, 2014; Soltero-González& Butvilofsky, 2016), teachers may be less familiarwith how to integrate code-meshing into writing in-struction.

      Teachers are willing to support multilingual students but execution is difficult.

    13. In contrast to code-switching, code-meshing in-volves the intentional incorporation of more thanone language within writing to “exploit and blendthose differences” (

      code meshing is mixing languages when writing.

    14. In other words, code-switching risks forcinga binary in which both languages cannot coexistwithin school contexts.

      Code switch is different from code meshing as it can make students feel like they can only choose one language in school.

    15. This is despite the fact that languagevarieties such as AAL are used in a wide array ofcontexts, both formal and informal

      AAL is used in many settings which is different than what sterotypes depict.

    16. One result of deficit views andmisconceptions regarding lan-guage is that classrooms becomelinguistic sieves that filter out alllanguages except DAE

      Schools attempt to erase home language.

    17. Similarly, nega-tive views of immigration fromplaces such as Mexico, Africa, andthe Middle East accompany deficitviews of their languages

      People judge languages based on stereotypes of those who speak differently.

    18. The pervasiveness of deficit assumptions regard-ing language varieties other than DAE is evidenceof the inseparability of language and power.

      The judging of "wrong" languages shows that language is deemed worthy by power and those who have power.

    19. Dominant ideologies about language are so deep-ly rooted that many linguistically diverse speak-ers carry deficit assumptions regarding their ownlanguage

      Society has been constantly saying home language is wrong leading students to believe this to be true.

    20. Similarly, multilingual students are often subjectedto subtractive pedagogies because of similar deficitassumptions regarding bilingualism and students’home languages

      Schools often try to “subtract” or remove students’ home languages instead of supporting the use.

    21. This is despite more than half a cen-tury of linguistic research documenting AAL asboth systematic and rule governed

      AAL is proven to be systematic and rule governed.

    22. This myth is sustained in part by negative soci-etal images of blackness and black cultures and bycommon misconceptions of AAL as slang or incor-rect English

      Schools and society are viewing AAL as "wrong" or "slang". This

    1. In conclusion, the use of programs that indicate plagiarism percentages (based on the concept of plagiarism), similarities, or AI, without prior analysis of the manuscript's quality, represents an editorial attitude based on new technology guidelines, which do not determine the quality of manuscripts, and should not be a condition that prevents the submission of research papers to reviewers who analyze the quality of the report. Jesus A. Mosquera
    2. AI can assist researchers in the manuscript writing process, improving writing style and language, but not in the interpretation, analysis, and logical conclusions of the results found, which must be carried out by the researchers.
    3. The correct use of AI can be beneficial for scientific publications, provided that natural intelligence establishes the order of what is reported by the AI
    4. "Plagiarism is defined as presenting another person's work as your own, whether it's text, ideas, data, or images, without proper attribution. This includes self-plagiarism, where an author reuses their own previously published work without proper citation"
    5. The editorial committees of various scientific journals have established plagiarism, similarities to other works, and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) as rejection criteria for research papers, without prior expert review.
    1. Yann Braga | Storybook Vitest | ViteConf 2025

      One thing that is nice about Storybook is that it collects various testing tools like Chromatic and Vitest and integrates them into one unified testing platform. Another nice thing about Storybook is that it works with, but doesn't replace, Vitest. I'm sure that some developers would be more comfortable with Vitest than Storybook. Storybook streamlines the testing experience by writing code and pinpointing errors. I also thought it was cool that Braga showed how the size of Storybook reduced over time despite increasing its functionality. It teaches me that powerful applications do not need to be big. Finally, it was good to review the three elements of components: interaction, visuals, and accessibility. You can't have one without the others. There's no use having a button that works if it doesn't look right and not everyone can use it.

    2. Yann Braga | Storybook Vitest | ViteConf 2025

      Storybook shows components in isolation and Vitest tests them automatically. We can see layout or behavior changes live. This makes testing simpler and more visual for frontend developers.

    1. By using Artificial Intelligence based technology in an effectiveand ethical way, being supported by teachers and policymakers, students at theFaculty of Economic Sciences, University of Oradea can acquire the necessarycommunication skills in Business English in order to be successful in today’sinterconnected world
    2. Our research, undergone through semi-structured interview, inthe qualitative phase, as an instrument for data collection, has revealed the fact that42% of the interviewed students use Artificial Intelligence in improving BusinessEnglish communication skills
    3. In order to examine and get a clear image of the usage of Artificial Intelligence inlearning foreign languages, having clear reference to Business English, we havechosen key informants that could provide relevant information, being chosenfollowing the inclusion criteria: 1. Economics students who have English selectionexam scores above 80 points; 2. Economics students who have taken Introductionto Business English Course during the first semester.
    4. The appearance of Artificial Intelligence has revolutionized not only the students’traditional methods of learning but also the teachers’ teaching methods, bringing newideas and new opportunities to all aspects of the teaching/learning process
    5. Therefore, this study comes as ahelpful perspective regarding the students’ opinion in using Artificial Intelligencebased technology and how they can help in developing their communication skills.
    6. The lack of confidence andanxiety about making errors are only two of the main reasons to take intoconsideration when talking about communication in Business English.
    7. Business English is a complex field which requires a lot of practice in order to bemastered. The focus of the course is communication. Since the students nowadayshave proved to be digital literate from an early age, the use of the artificialintelligence-based tools in teaching have shown an increased interest in the learningprocess
    1. Another notable advancement in this review is the incorporation of research addressing the ethical and fairness concerns surrounding AI in MH care. The earlier review identified these as key areas of concern, particularly regarding algorithmic bias and transparency.
    2. he findings continue to highlight the promise of AI technologies in addressing missed care, alleviating clinicians' workloads, improving diagnostic accuracy, and addressing workforce challenges. However, the newly reviewed studies bring further insights and raise further complexities, particularly concerning the real-world implementation, ethical considerations, and the need for more rigorous evaluations of AI systems in diverse MH contexts.
    3. Ultimately, the research articles convey a sense of cautious optimism about CDSS's potential to transform MH care. They highlight the opportunities presented by data-driven insights while acknowledging the importance of addressing ethical concerns and prioritising patient well-being. The articles suggest that, by carefully navigating these complexities, the field can harness the power of technology to deliver more personalised, effective, and equitable MH care for all.
    4. Beyond technical challenges, the articles also underscore the importance of addressing ethical considerations, such as data privacy and the potential for bias.
    5. While the potential benefits of CDSS are widely acknowledged, the research articles also address the challenges and ethical considerations associated with their development and implementation. A key concern is ensuring the accuracy, fairness, and clinical utility of these systems.
    6. These studies collectively emphasise that, while AI has significant potential in MH care, its integration must be carefully managed through ongoing research, collaboration, and a balanced approach that combines technological innovation with workforce development.
    7. In another study, a novel multimodal, multitask learning model was directly applied as an intervention to predict rehabilitation outcomes for individuals with severe mental illness
    8. ne study utilised this model to identify high-risk patients and recommended preventative interventions for clinicians, with a specific emphasis on refining decision thresholds through decision curve analysis to optimise sensitivity while minimising the risk of overtreatment (Liu et al. 2024).
    9. Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) for MH, including those incorporating AI, show promise in improving patient care. Overall, the results of this subsequent literature review highlight the potential of CDSS to improve MH care but emphasise the importance of rigorous evaluation, debiasing efforts, and ongoing monitoring to ensure fairness, accuracy, and clinical utility.
    10. However, the importance of maintaining clinician oversight remains a central theme, ensuring that AI tools enhance, rather than replace, human judgement.
    11. This updated review revisits the original research aims (Higgins et al. 2023), with a particular focus on how AI can complement and augment clinicians' decision-making processes. The findings highlight the potential of AI-driven clinical decision support systems (CDSS) to enable clinicians to make more informed, accurate, and timely decisions, ultimately reducing instances of missed care.
    12. Healthcare systems now face the challenge of integrating these powerful tools into clinical workflows while maintaining the highest standards of care, medical ethics, and community benefit.
    13. The rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have significantly expanded the technological capabilities available to healthcare systems, particularly with the emergence of large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT.
    14. While AI-driven CDSS holds significant promise for optimising MH care, sustainable improvements require the integration of AI solutions with systemic workforce enhancements.
    15. New evidence highlights the importance of clinician trust, system transparency, and ethical concerns, including algorithmic bias and equity, particularly for vulnerable populations. Advancements in AI model complexity, such as multimodal learning systems, demonstrate improved predictive capacity but underscore the ongoing challenge of balancing interpretability with innovation.
    1. Following the intuitive distinction between knowledge and understanding, we argue that understanding is the superior epistemic aim for higher education because it constitutes a cognitive achievement of the sort we seek in education — proof an individual is developing as a cognitive agent, able to draw upon cognitive effort and skill to solve problems.
    2. In both cases, the cognitive skills on display are memorization and recall. Both students might have knowledge (or the appearance of it) at that moment, but the assessment does little to gauge whether they understand the material.
    3. Given the ease with which students can acquire, or appear to acquire, knowledge via ChatGPT, higher education needs a revised epistemic aim,20 specifically one that constitutes a cognitive achievement — signaling an agent's cognitive development via effort and skill — and that is not easily undermined or acquired by using generative AI tools.
    4. AI panic: we aim for students to develop as cognitive agents who can demonstrate their understanding, but what we demand of them via assessments is only knowledge, something we now fear they can feign (but never acquire) with the use of AI. Simply put, if ChatGPT can complete our assessments, they are poor assessments to begin with, i.e., they are not an adequate gauge of the cognitive development we aim for in education.
    5. Consider two students taking a math quiz. They encounter the problem, “What is the square root of 9?” For whatever reason, one student opted to memorize the answers to specific math problems in case they came up in a test, while another focused on learning the mathematical operation. Both give the same correct answer to the question, but one has mere knowledge, as far as they know the answer to the problem — the square root of nine is three — but the other has understanding. They arrive at the answer by completing the operation. Now, we ask, which student has a better grasp of the square root of nine, or math in general?
    6. All things equal, the student who understands the mathematical operation could complete the square root function for other numbers. Their understanding spans beyond the knowledge of a particular fact.
    7. The cognitive success in one case is the result of memory and luck, the other a result of cognitive effort and agency in combining what one knows with one's understanding of the game of chess, the other player's moves, the timing, flow, and strategy of play, and one's objective. Drawing on the network of relationships between these pieces of knowledge and skills to successfully win a chess game does not merely demonstrate that one knows the rules and strategy needed to play, but that one understands these and can apply them to the game.
    8. Given the inevitable use of generative AI, like ChatGPT, on campus, we maintain that understanding is the superior epistemic aim for education.
    9. Rather than immediately reaching for practical solutions to address current fears of ChatGPT on campus, we argue that campus leaders, instructors, and taskforce members should first pause and revisit what it is they hope to achieve through education, lest their responses lead further away from guarding what is actually at stake in generative AI use in higher education. We hope to have provided a roadmap for examining the educational aims at the heart of the debate over tackling ChatGPT in education that is insightful and will be instructive for campus leaders in their pursuit of a valuable and viable response to generative AI on campus.
    10. The threat of students using ChatGPT highlights the primary pitfalls of knowledge as an epistemic aim of education, and by extension the object of assessment, and bolsters the case for pursuing understanding. And, in reviewing the advantages of understanding as an epistemic aim, we have revealed a pathway for responding to the threat of generative AI on campus. Adopting understanding as higher education's epistemic aim over knowledge both mandates and allows for curriculum revision in favor of assessments that can be completed with the assistance of ChatGPT, but not via ChatGPT alone.
    11. AI tools cannot give you understanding primarily because it is not something that is simply received or acquired without some effort from the agent. Thus, an essay prompt that can easily be answered by AI is assessing for knowledge, not understanding. In other words, if generative AI can complete the assessment for the student, without the required cognitive effort on the part of the student, then that is a bad assessment that is aimed at assessing knowledge, not understanding. In the case of the essay, it is a bad essay prompt if ChatGPT can convincingly complete it without any input, fine tuning, or correction from the student.
    12. Educators naturally fear that generative AI tools like ChatGPT put student effort and cognitive achievement at risk because they can be used to pass assessments;
    13. While understanding may be more difficult to gauge and to confirm whether students have it, we can design assessments for students to demonstrate it — and often, in doing so, ensure that they acquire it.
    14. Generative AI tools like ChatGPT, we suggest, merely bring to the fore what has likely been an issue for some time: that existing assessments do not gauge students' cognitive achievements.
    15. This is the sort of cognitive ability we aim to develop through education. We seek cognitive effort, development, and achievement. In theory, educational assessments gauge our progress toward this aim, i.e., whether students are developing as cognitive agents. Too often, though, assessments measure mere knowledge, not understanding.
    16. If you can draw upon the knowledge that you do have, and make connections between these pieces of information, you can generally make up for the gap in your knowledge, i.e., that you do not know where the train station is in this particular city. Solving this problem by drawing on the network of things you do know is a cognitive achievement: you do not simply have knowledge in this case, rather, you display cognitive effort and skill to infer and make connections between what you do know to make up for what you do not. You draw upon and demonstrate your understanding.
    17. Following the intuitive distinction between knowledge and understanding, we argue that understanding is the superior epistemic aim for higher education because it constitutes a cognitive achievement of the sort we seek in education — proof an individual is developing as a cognitive agent, able to draw upon cognitive effort and skill to solve problems.
    18. Certainly, one used ChatGPT to generate their summary. Still, any student could just as easily have watched a YouTube video, found a study guide with content summaries online, or read a Wikipedia page on photosynthesis to acquire theirs. Both the ChatGPT summary and lecture-slide summary will likely pass the assessment. The students have both demonstrated knowledge of photosynthesis. It is not knowledge they compiled through effort or skill, or that we can guarantee will persist beyond the context of the assessment, but they demonstrate at that moment that they possess knowledge.
    19. This renders our assessments less able to gauge students' development as cognitive agents. Even when students retain information acquired from ChatGPT after the assessment, simply possessing knowledge of a course subject does not confirm that their education was successful, regardless of whether the knowledge was acquired in class or through ChatGPT.
    20. In passing the assessment, it appears the student learned something, i.e., that they acquired and retained information through cognitive effort and intellectual skill. But, if they used generative AI, or if it is possible that they did, our assessments are no longer reliable indicators of students' cognitive effort and development as cognitive agents. We essentially get a false positive that they have developed.
    21. Accordingly, a reasonable institutional response would be to revise academic honor codes to include specific clauses on using generative AI like ChatGPT. Higher education institutions might also lean into educating students in intellectual virtues, stressing the importance of academic integrity. Both responses are valuable and justifiable reactions to the threat of pervasive AI use on campus. However, these responses are only sufficient if student integrity is the sole concern.
    22. While discourse in higher education surrounding generative AI focuses on the need for an adequate response to the tool's use on campus, we argue that an adequate response requires examining what exactly in education is at stake in AI use in higher education.
    23. While some argue that the tool essentially is the new calculator — inevitable and necessarily worth incorporating — others classify it as an existential threat to the future of higher education.
    24. Its ability to synthesize and summarize information in approachable prose can make prepping for an exam easier and less time-consuming than reviewing multiple weeks' worth of course material.
    25. They can answer questions, produce outlines, compose poems, write computer code, and generate argumentative essays that pass for college-level writing. The generated responses are unique: they are not plagiarized — copied directly from a human-written text — nor are they recycled or boilerplate (e.g., using the same prompt can produce distinct responses).4 This makes detecting ChatGPT-generated text (products of generative AI) difficult, though some have found its sentence patterns to be complex and varied than human prose.
    26. We conclude that the advent and continued advancement of AI tools bolsters the case for understanding over knowledge as an aim of education. We argue that the epistemological distinction between the two is informative and directive in articulating what is at stake in AI use in education and what might constitute a strategic response.
    27. We propose that generative AI tools like ChatGPT threaten higher education's commitment to pursuing cognitive achievement. Then, we argue that generative AI tools undercut knowledge-based learning goals and corresponding assessments because knowledge is easily acquired and demonstrated without the corresponding cognitive effort and achievements.
    28. This new type of generative artificial intelligence technology (generative AI) can produce written prose that passes for basic college-level writing. Since then, workshops, institutional task forces, and committees have been created across the higher education system to address generative AI use on campus.
    29. Although AI can enhance and aid students in developing understanding, it can neither provide them with understanding nor give the appearance of understanding without student effort.
    30. They propose that ChatGPT, rather than threatening student cognitive development and effort, reveals a serious flaw in higher education's current aims and assessments: they are directed at knowledge, not understanding.

      If social media sites were governed by users instead of shareholders I truly believe that would alter the digital world drastically. As users would curate and change the platform to align with user experience and generate platforms that are grounded in amplifying/regenerating user experience. Compared to shareholders where there only concern is generating revenue.

      This source goes into depths of the defintion of what capatialsm is . Capitailsim is an "economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market." Mainly expressing how a capatialst economy drives for a competitive market and work ethic amongst society.

      The idea that parents shouldn’t lie about anything is easy to take literally. There are obviously things that shouldn’t be told to children that might cause more harm than good. I personally think that with smaller things such as the example of pretending to take candy from their kids should be stopped. Unfortunately, the world is so complicated and huge that making kids think about it at such a young age would be unfair to them.

    1. In other words, capitalism is a system where: Individuals or corporations own businesses These business owners make what they want and set their own prices. They compete with other businesses to convince customers to buy their products. These business owners then hire wage laborers [s2] at predetermined rates for their work, while the owners get the excess business profits or losses.

      The USA is a capitalist economy here. I believe capitalism is a great way of promoting healthy competition and high efficient work ethics amongst specify. It allows for personal freedom and ownership of ones land/job.

      I find it interesting how social media impacts people mental state but also their ideologies that impact the world. The fact that tech companies are able to control so much of our lives such as how we think about certain issues such as gender equality and homosexuality is strange. There isn’t enough customization in order to truly form your own opinions but also notice other ideologies in order to truly form a complete viewpoint.

      Coaching logs! I found this really helpful as I like linear resources that can support my planning for when I meet with teachers. I think having these specifics questions supports my intentions to be ready and document our work based on students goals.

    1. As a social media user, we hope you are informed about things like: how social media works, how they influence your emotions and mental state, how your data gets used or abused, strategies in how people use social media, and how harassment and spam bots operate.

      I think this class has helped me form my own judgement on how social media works. I’m glad that I can further understand how they control my emotions and mental state considering how much time I spend on the platforms. It is helpful in it’s communication and spreading information, but is easily manipulated in order to take over how someone thinks.

    1. ognitive Coaches are committed to learning. They continually resist complacency, and they share both the humility and the pride of admitting that there is more to learn. They dedicate themselves to serving others, and they set aside their ego needs, devoting their energies to enhancing others’ resourcefulness. They commit their time and energies to make a difference by enhancing interdepen- dence, illuminating situations from varied perspectives, and striv- ing to bring consciousness to intentions, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and their effect on others and the environment.

      Although I consider myself a coach, cognitive works has been difficult to align with the teachers we have. I think i get to do this as a coaching teams more than individually.

    1. Accordingly, one of the teacher’s principal roles is to support, or scaf- fold, students to acquire knowledge and skills that they cannot learn on their own but can learn with targeted assistance. A teacher can provide sev- eral kinds of assistance, as can peers: Teachers can provide a model to show a learner how something is done, or they can demonstrate a process or skill both physically and by talking aloud about how an expert thinks. A teacher can also assist by breaking up a task into smaller units or by reorganizing the sequence of a complex task.

      Providing Access to students learning through scaffolding is part of teachers need to plan for. I have been supporting teachers to plan for scaffolds so our multilingual learners can access grade level content.

      (

      )

      This was a period of time where England was known as the empire on which the sun never sets. Military might and the Industrial Revolution turned England into a juggernaut of powerhouses in the world theater. Little did the world knew that it was the labor of poor children that made the English Industrial Evolution possible as able bodied men were busy fighting. Orphaned children from cities and parishes were contracted from city officials to factory owners to work until they reach 21 or 24 years old. There were no one who fought for their welfare or rights. The children worked 12 to 16 hours a day with little substantial food, hence "their pale and sunken faces". The children were essentially slaves.

    2. “But, no !” say the children, weeping faster,       ” He is speechless as a stone ; And they tell us, of His image is the master       Who commands us to work on.

      Richard Oastler, a critique of the Victorian factory system wrote: "Poor infants! ye are indeed sacrificed at he shrine of avarice, without even the solace of the negro slave; ye are no more than he is, free agents; yet ye are compelled to work as long as necessity of your needy parents may require, or the cold blooded avarice of your worse than barbarian masters may demand!…ye are doomed to labour from morning to night for one who cares not how soon your weak and tender frames are stretched to breaking!" Indeed, children were often contracted to factories to work until they reach 21 years old for very little money. Even the factory reformers that called for change, for better work hours, conditions and for education, did not ask for the abolition of child labor. Families could not survive without the supplemental wages of the children. Textile factories could not function without the nimble children darting between running machines to reattach broken threads being woven (Nardinelli). The factory owners were like slave owners who invested as little as they can and whip the most work out of the children as they can.

    3. ” Two words, indeed, of praying we remember ;       And at midnight’s hour of harm, — ‘Our Father,’ looking upward in the chamber,       We say softly for a charm.

      One of the impetus for EBB to write "Cry of the Children" was the fact the the poor working children had no knowledge of God (Bouchard). They were separated from their parents at an early age as all members of the family had to work, sometimes at different locations. The normal, structured life of a nucleus family is absent and no one taught the children religion. Working from 12 to 16 hour days was another deterrent for children to accomplish any learning (Alexandrova). Like EBB says in her poem (lines 67-68), the children would rather sleep if given a meadow than play.

    4. For, all day, we drag our burden tiring,       Through the coal-dark, underground —

      This article has photos of the book, the poem, and images from the survey of children working in mines relating to "Cry of The Children".

      https://www.youtube.com/shorts/YdWLxoHYR1E

      This video shows how close, cramp, and claustrophobic the mines would be. Also, the ground is sometimes lined with rails, other times consists purely of mud and even imbedded with large rocks. This little clip is an attempt to let the readers see the harsh conditions the children working in mines had to deal with daily.

      Elizabeth Browning was friends and frequent correspondent with Richard Hengist Horne. RH Horne was the assistant commissioner to an inquiry that reported the "Physical & Moral Conditions of the Children and Young Persons Employed in Mines and Manufacture." The horrific conditions that Horne related to EBB spurred her to write "Cry of the Children" (Robertson).

    5. “True,” say the children, “it may happen       That we die before our time! Little Alice died last year her grave is shapen       Like a snowball, in the rime.                                                                             40 We looked into the pit prepared to take her —    Was no room for any work in the close clay:

      How poignantly EBB describes Alice's grave: "…no room for any work in the close clay." It makes one feel as if Work chases the child to the grave, stands there, looks down at the pit, and ponders if there is room for it to join little Alice-as if death is not escape enough. In reality, Victorian children do suffer many injuries and violent deaths in work related accidents. Take chimney sweepers, for example. Usually little boys 5 to 6 years old were employed to clean out narrow, twisted chimneys. They came out scraped and bleeding from the tight confines and suffer long term breathing problems due to soot and creosotes. If the child got stuck, the master chimney sweeper would light a fire in the fire place to encourage the child to get out faster. This little tale of the chimney sweeper speaks of the Victorians' general attitudes toward child labor (Alexandrova).

    6. But the young, young children, O my brothers,       Do you ask them why they stand Weeping sore before the bosoms of their mothers,       In our happy Fatherland?

      EBB's use of "my brothers" is strategic. She is not passing judgement, but rather, rallying society. By placing herself along side with her countrymen, she effectively "elbows" her neighbors in saying, "I don't find this acceptable. Do you?" Like the opening quote, EBB corners her readers in a position where they couldn't endorse the current treatment of the children because that would make them look uncaring and unconscionable.

    7. The young lambs are bleating in the meadows ;    The young birds are chirping in the nest; The young fawns are playing with the shadows;    The young flowers are blowing toward the west— But the young, young children, O my brothers,       They are weeping bitterly!

      The deliberate refrain of "young" nature and the emphasized double "young, young children" point out the irony and tragedy of how life shouldn't be for these children. While nature frolic and play, the human children are weeping bitterly. In fact, some poems in the Victorian period use this juxtaposition of the free natural world versus the state of the oppressive poor. Thomas Hood's "Song of the Shirt" has these lines: "Oh! but to breathe the breath Of the cowslip and primrose sweet--- With the sky above my head, And the grass beneath my feet". Gerald Massey wrote in "Cry of the Unemployed": "Heaven droppeth down with manna still in many a golden shower, And feeds the leaves with fragrant breath, with silver dew, the flower; There's honeyed fruit for bee and bird, with bloom laughs out the tree". Nature is plentiful, beautiful, and free while humans suffer from hunger and fetters of their working class.

    8. They are leaning their young heads against their mothers, —

      Although the working class had very little of worldly goods, its family unit was quite close. One main reason was they had to share a small space as living quarters. Another reason was children often working alongside their parents. All the children were viewed as a potential source of income so the family strived together as a unit to make ends meet. The close knit working class family was a sharp contrast to the wealthy Victorians. Usually their children were left in care of nannies or governesses. The higher echelon of society had little time to spare for their kids yet had high expectations of them. Even Winston Churchill said he could recall every hug he ever had from his mother.

      The difference between the classes here is not immediately discernible for modern readers with just the line describing children leaning on their mothers. In Victorian England, the rich and middle-class did not handle their own children.

    1. I trust not to thy phantom bliss,

      The phantom that the speaker explicitly states she doesn’t trust is imagination. This ghost that haunts the speaker pushes her to the edges of society where she would feel the effects of loneliness that connect can only be soothed by hope that is birthed from death, as Steven Vine states in his essay about how the ghostly bliss “betrays the self’s desire” and is “born from the death that it is supposed to overcome” (107).

    1. ery single teacher can be developed and every single teacher can grow,” she says. “As a result of growing every teacher, we’ll be growing and supporting every student. That way we can ensure that every one of our students has the best teacher standing in front of them.

      Although I agree with this quote, I wonder about coaching or mentoring teachers whose presence is a struggle for them to move foward on their teaching. This has been one area that has become difficult to coach as I am noticing that they will default on doing the same errors even after coaching. I can see how this can tight to growing students and up to now I have not given up, yet it is a struggle either I need to find the way to coach teachers who struggle with presence or it is just difficult to coach this.

    3. At the same time, although consumption in the grain & food category and the furniture category also weakened relative to the macro benchmark, their underlying dynamics differ: grain & food exhibits a clear counter-cyclical pattern, whereas furniture is strongly influenced by the real estate cycle.

    1. Both ethics and law are normative frameworks, i.e. theydefine how people ought to act. Ethics and law are oftencomplementary; for example, a legal decree might requirea person to do what is ethically required (such as refrainfrom harming others). However, something can be legaland yet conflict with ethical standards

      This paragraph gives insight into how even if an action is legal, it might still conflict with ethical principles. Therefore, ethical reasoning is important to guide behaviour when the law is silent, insufficient, or morally questionable.
