An insight into the life of teachers in an Alpine New Zealand School

Выпуск 48

Back on Track - Gender, Sexuality and Race

With a lot of change in our school, including the departure of our principal, the appointment of a Limited Statutory Manager and the on-going impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on our school lives, we've been trying to consider ways that we can contribute to the growth and development of our school as we take a good hard look at ourselves. Chris relays a staff development session he was part of which was designed to 'start the conversation' about our obligations to our students and their diverse gender identities and sexualities. Simultaneously, Renee has been working with a group of students who have been working on a way to open up a conversation about race in the school. We explain how these are being put together, and how they have been received.

Korero - Tawhiri, Taki and Hadley

This week we explore the experiences of three 16 year old students who relay their experiences working to challenge prejudice in our school community. We can all learn a lot from the humility, generosity and wisdom of these young men. If you happen to teach English, it's definitely worth listening right to the very end of this one!

How to challenge sexism

Kathy came in on an avid conversation in Chris' class this week. Some students were discussing an incident of sexist language and attitude in a classroom, and how they'd spoken up. This podcast carries that conversation on: Kathy, Kelly (a student teacher who is currently on placement in Renee's classroom) Renee and Chris discuss what advice we would want to give these students about 'what to say next' when the usual defences are trotted out "Political correctness gone mad", or even "You're just being emotional". Emotional? Who? Me?

Being Gender Non-Binary in a Rural School

Our school has recently made some forays into the realm of LGBTQI+ inclusiveness. It's complex terrain, so to add to the conversation See Me After Class is interviewing some of our students who identify as LGBTQI+ to gain an insight into what life looks like from their point of view. This week Chris spoke to Ollie who identifies as Queer and is gender non-binary. It's a fascinating insight with useful material for teachers, parents and students alike.

Your Podcasters' Identity

Identity has become a theme for See Me After Class in recent months. As a result, and in the rare event that all four of the team found ourselves in one place, we decided to explore aspects of our own identity and how this might affect our way of relating to the world and the school. Anna's reflections on the curiosity of her children when they encounter Ollie (from Episode 51) on the way to school were fascinating, and even more than this her experiences as a migrant, relating to students who are migrants and finding commonality with them underlined the true importance of having your identity acknowledged and reflected in our school.

Intersectionality

With more interviews impending with students whose identities don’t fit the norm, and for whom life in school can be a real challenge at times, Kathy, Anna and Chris continue to explore their own identity and encounter yet more buzzwords. Intersectionality is a term that helps us to decode the complex interplay between different aspects of our identity, but in the end, how do we answer the question: “Who are we?”

Digging Deeper in Alchemy Café

Identity continues to be the theme - this week we dig deeper. We uncovered some rather interesting, and surprising, insights. The segue may not have been the smoothest one, but we then moved on to talk about School Prize-giving. Bear with us, we found a link!
Выпуск 55

From India to a Rural NZ Classroom

Our conversations about identity have evolved into a focus on courage. With New Zealand Courage day fast approaching, we're turning our attention to people in our school community who are acting with courage and integrity. Last week Abhishek applied to be our Head Student. We spoke to him about what inspired him to present such a risky speech at that moment of vulnerability, and boy did he teach us a lesson in courage and gratitude. He said no-one in the school had asked him these questions before. You will be moved.
