Promoting the Core Goal of SOCIOCULTURAL Competence through culturally relevant literature

This workshop demonstrates how a Dual Language Special Educator drew from her cultural background to portray Gregorina, the main character, navigating through bullying, diversity, self-esteem, and resilience. The books delve into challenging real-life topics, fostering discussions. The series, comprising "El Cabello de Gregorina" (Spanish version), "Gregorina’s Hair" (English version), and "Gregorina en Chicago, la ciudad de los vientos" (Spanish/English), employs verses and rhymes to showcase diversity within a contemporary family. Gregorina recounts her hair-care challenges, particularly when it was thick and abundant. In "Gregorina en Chicago, la ciudad de los vientos," she uniquely illustrates the immigrant experience, grappling with diverse climates and discovering new celebrations in her adopted home.

Talking Circles to Build Community and Empathy

Students learn best when their basic needs are met. When students' SEL needs are met, they are set to better learn the academic curriculum. Talking Circles are a Tier l SEL practice that supports the students' basic need to belong by creating community in the classroom. Our wave of Newcomers has uncover different emotions on our students' body. Creating an environment where current and new students have to opportunity to get to know each other in a safe/supportive/controlled environment allows all students to get to know each other and find out that as humans we all have similar dreams, needs, and wants. Discovering that we are similar helps students to be more respectful and appreciative of each other This proposal is for participants to participate in a Talking Circle to experience what students would experience in a Talking Circle. Talking Circles are part of Resprotavie Practice (RP). Through RP training provided by the SEL department in CPS, I was received an RP Classroom Lead. If this proposal is approved, I would ask to limit the number of participants to 10 persons per session in order to run a more meaningful Talking Circle. In a school environment, a Talking Circle would include all students in the classroom and the teacher/s.
