Science Literacy Week: September 18-24 – Fostering Curiosity and Knowledge in Saskatchewan Schools

[loganremade]

i’m so immensely proud of ELL students because i know how it feels to have to learn all these concepts in a language you’re not fluent in and the feeling of isolation that comes from it, and they’re so smart!!! they understand the material, they just don’t understand the language, and so my goal is to make them feel included in the classroom and use their mother language as a vessel for learning

The previous post I reblogged reminded me of this survey the school system I work for sent out and my scathing reply:

“Teaching students to leverage AI to support their learning” oh HELL naw. You really think that giving someone a moped is going to make their legs stronger than riding an actual bicycle? No! It doesn’t work like that. In order to make your brain stronger you cannot use something to think for you.

I wanted to say “Bullshit. You fucking deadbeat admins set the fire that is burning our whole district to the ground; and you’re the reason why we can’t keep new hires to save our lives,” but I also value having my job so I did not cuss them out and I was so brave about it.

School was supposed to prepare us for life—but too often, it trained us to obey, conform, and stop questioning. In Part 1 of The Curriculum Cage, we explore how modern education drifted from enlightenment into indoctrination—and what it costs the minds it claims to shape.

The Connection Between Jewish Holidays and Food: Insights from ADRABA’s Chosen Food Course

At ADRABA, we offer unique and engaging courses beyond the traditional classroom setting to bring Jewish history, culture, and traditions to life. One of our most exciting hands-on courses is Chosen Food, where students explore Jewish culture, history, and identity through food. This course is perfect for anyone who loves to cook, wants to dive into the diverse culinary traditions of the Jewish people, and is curious about how geography, history, and culture shape the foods we enjoy today.

A Culinary Journey Through Jewish History

Chosen Food is a one-of-a-kind course that takes students on a journey through Jewish cuisine. It explores how Jewish culture and traditions have influenced and been influenced by the foods of different regions across the globe. From the spicy, tomato-rich dishes of North Africa to the hearty comfort foods of Eastern Europe, this course shows how Jewish communities adapted their culinary traditions to the places they lived, resulting in a rich and diverse food heritage.

One of the course highlights is exploring the history behind popular dishes like shakshuka—a flavorful and much-loved dish in Israel. Where did shakshuka originate? Was it first cooked in Egypt, Libya, Morocco, or Tunisia? Did it evolve before or after tomatoes were introduced from the New World? These are some fascinating questions we’ll tackle as we cook through Jewish history.

Hands-On Learning and Culinary Exploration

This is no ordinary course—Chosen Food is all about getting your hands dirty in the kitchen. Throughout the year, students will respond to weekly prompts, reflecting on what they’ve learned and experienced, and package these reflections into seasonal portfolios. But instead of exams or tests, students will be busy with a lot of hands-on cooking!

As the course concludes, students will work on a culminating project that brings everything together. This project will include researching a particular aspect of Jewish cuisine, building a menu, and preparing a meal for their family. The culminating event, a food-centered celebration, happens at the end of June—allowing students to showcase their newfound culinary skills and knowledge in a delicious way!

Chosen Food is a year-long course that begins in October. Classes meet twice a week for 25 weeks. As with all ADRABA courses, students have the flexibility to observe all Jewish and civic holidays. While we recommend that students begin in October, enrollment is open until the end of November, making joining easy even if you miss the initial start date.

With weekly prompts, interactive discussions, and plenty of cooking, students can engage with the material fun and meaningfully. From researching a dish's origins to preparing meals representing different Jewish communities, Chosen Food is educational and experiential.

More Unique Courses at ADRABA

In addition to Chosen Food, ADRABA offers a wide range of courses designed to blend academic rigor with Jewish cultural exploration:

Philosophy: Questions and Theories: Explore life’s biggest questions—ethics, metaphysics, and social philosophy—through the lens of Jewish thought and beyond.

World Cultures: Delve into how cultural identities are shaped and transformed, focusing on the Jewish interactions with ancient civilizations like Babylon, Persia, and Greece.

Media Studies: Analyze how media covers major global events like the Israel-Palestine conflict and learn to assess media narratives and biases critically.

Canadian History Since World War I: Discover Canada’s evolution and explore the Jewish community’s contributions to the country’s development.

 Why Study at ADRABA?

At ADRABA, we believe learning should be interactive, meaningful, and culturally enriching. Whether you’re passionate about history, media, philosophy, or food, our courses offer a unique way to connect with your Jewish heritage while meeting academic requirements. Chosen Food is exceptional because it combines the joy of cooking with deep cultural learning, allowing students to explore their roots hands-on.

If you’re ready to travel through Jewish history, one dish at a time, Chosen Food is the perfect course for you.

Enroll now to embark on a culinary journey that will deepen your understanding of Jewish culture and traditions—and satisfy your taste buds along the way!

"In a historic move Friday [November 8, 2024], Sacramento State announced its new Native American College, a first of its kind in the California State university system. 

The college, a co-curricular institution housed at Sacramento State, will support Native-based education with a focus on leadership and career building. It will offer a diverse range of programs that integrate "tribal values, traditions and community engagement," according to a press release. 

This marks Sacramento State's second ethnic-based institution. The university launched the the nation's first Black Honors college earlier this year. 

The announcement was made at the California State Capitol by President Luke Wood and Dr. Annette Reed, an enrolled member and citizen of the Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation, who will be the first dean of the Native American College. 

Reed said students will have access to faculty mentors, advisors, outreach coordinators and more who have the expertise to work closely with Native American students and can support them holistically. 

She hopes this historic initiative will address low enrollment of Native students pursuing higher education across the state and in the country. Native American students face significant barriers to enrolling in higher education, such as financial constraints, feelings of isolation, historical trauma and lack of culturally relevant curriculum. 

"And so I'm hoping this impacts the students where they go through as a cohort. They can create networks, they can be able to have more of a support system going through and beginning together and hopefully graduating at the end together," Reed said.

Reed recalled taking her first class on Native American studies in 1980. She would later on serve as the director of Native American studies at Sacramento State and chair of the Department of Ethnic Studies. For her, advocating for Native American education was a natural top priority. 

"People always ask me, 'What is Native American studies?' It is history. It is looking at culture. It's looking at teaching sovereignty, federal Indian law. It's teaching social work, art. It's teaching about Native cultural expression, it can be literature," Reed said. 

The Native American College will introduce two new courses, according to Reed, which will be focused on Native American leadership. 

"It means that maybe some of the ones that start in Fall 2025 will end up here at the Capitol. Maybe they'll end up being the future senators or assembly people or the future of people in business. They might be leading our nation as tribal chairs, they might be going into the medical field," Reed said. "But whatever field they go into, leadership is really key." 

Students who want to be in the Native American College can apply after being accepted into the university's general application process. All students will be required to minor in Native American Studies, with an emphasis on Native American leadership."

Cashmere, Johanna, and Finnick are the trio I never knew I needed! I would love to see something where they rip that professor a new one for being so absolutely ignorant to the fact that he was talking about people, not just game pieces. All of the people who have never been in the games always have an opinion on how the victors should handle what happened to them or makes judgements about what they did to survive. Like in District 13 when Gale said he would die before he betrayed them like shut up you literally have no idea what torture Peeta endured before he did that interview. I think the professor is the same way.

“Was it you, Asshole?” Johanna says, tearing into the middle aged man behind the desk, with the placard labeled ‘Professor Smith.’

“Johanna Mason,” he rises from his seat. “It is an honor.”

“Cut the crap,” Johanna swats at his outstretched hand.

“I’m sorry, I don’t-”

“You should be sorry.” Finnick cuts in, “you have no right to speak on things you know nothing about.”

“Your lives as victors is an integral part of Panem’s history.” The older man argues. “You are incredible inspirations to us all.”

“Then work on the delivery,” Cashmere demands. “We’re not fucking dead yet, have some respect.”

Johanna clenches her jaw, of the three of them, Cashmere is the least likely to tear someone’s head off. She’s like Y/N in that way. When she does cut, it’s to the quick.

“If this is about Everest; I had no idea he didn’t know.” Smith stammers.

“He was never supposed to know.” Finnick insists, “that information should’ve been destroyed with the footage.”

“It must’ve been especially hard for you to see him in such a state of distress. I know Y/N is very dear to you.” The professor sighs.

Finnick’s mouth opens and closes, gaping at him.

Johanna sprints toward the man, clamping a hand around his throat. “Did you watch?”

Cashmere rest a hand against Finnick’s shoulder. The things they’d done to keep each other alive were never discussed.

“I’m ok.” Finnick pats her hand.

Cashmere turns her attention to Johanna and the professor, now scared out of his mind. “I’m going to see that you never teach again and then I’m going to have the curriculum reformed.” She tells him. “We’re not pieces in a game. We’re people.”

Smith nods, with wide bulging eyes.

“Imagine it were your family being exploited.” Johanna sneers, “imagine they took down their oppressor and collapsed the system only to end up here, having their story told by someone who doesn’t know the first thing about them and all they’ve suffered. That is how Everest felt.”

Okay yeah I’ll start. Hilda would think that the rule that you can only take a walk in the corridors when accompanied by a nurse is BULLSHIT

Day 6 of being hospitalized. I’ve begun having thoughts like “I wonder what Hilda characters would act like if they had to go through long hospital stays” and “I should write a post on headcanons of Hilda characters as patients”. I am climbing up my walls

How Jewish Day Schools in Toronto Integrate Cutting-Edge Education with Deep-Rooted Faith

Jewish Day Schools in Toronto are redefining education. They don't just teach; they cultivate a blend of modern academics with deep-rooted Jewish values, offering students an exceptional experience.

A Dual Focus on Academics and Heritage

These schools deliver a curriculum that balances rigorous academics with a profound Jewish education. Students learn subjects like math and science while also exploring Jewish history, ethics, and Hebrew. This dual focus ensures they are not only prepared for future challenges but are also deeply connected to their cultural roots. The integration of Jewish perspectives into everyday subjects adds a layer of relevance, making learning more impactful.

Embedding Values in Everyday Lessons

What sets these schools apart is their commitment to infusing Jewish values into daily learning. Concepts like Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) aren't just taught—they are lived. Whether it's through community service or classroom discussions, these values shape students' perspectives and actions, helping them grow into compassionate, ethical individuals. For instance, a science lesson on sustainability might be paired with the Jewish principle of Bal Tashchit (do not waste), grounding modern issues in timeless wisdom.

Leveraging Technology to Enhance Learning

In an era where technology drives education, Jewish Day Schools in Toronto are at the forefront. They integrate digital tools, virtual classrooms, and interactive learning to keep students engaged and ahead of the curve. This tech-savvy approach not only makes learning more dynamic but also connects students with Jewish communities worldwide, broadening their understanding and sense of belonging.

Supported by Ontario’s Jewish Education Program

The Jewish Education Program in Ontario underpins this balanced approach, ensuring that schools meet high standards in both secular and Jewish studies. This support helps schools deliver a curriculum that’s not just academically challenging but also deeply enriching in terms of cultural and religious education.

Conclusion: Education with Heart and Soul

Jewish Day Schools in Toronto offer more than just education—they offer a way of life. By blending modern academics with Jewish values, they prepare students to navigate the complexities of the world with wisdom, integrity, and a strong sense of identity. For parents seeking an education that nurtures both the mind and soul, these schools are an ideal choice.
