SUMMARY:Symposium on Belonging and Teacher Practices – 15 May
DESCRIPTION:Utrecht University’s Dynamics of Youth (communities Youth Education & Life Skillsand Becoming Adults in a Changing World)\, together with Representing Europe are organizing a joint seminar to discuss belonging in education. Belonging has long been part of the education discourse of policymakers\, educators\, and researchers due to its key role in supporting the academic and social well-being of students from disadvantaged backgrounds. During this symposium\, we particularly explore the role of teacher practices and teacher education in fostering belonging in schools.\n\nBelow you will find the program and registration to attend the seminar on location.\nProgramme \n19.15 Doors open\n\n19.30 Welcome & introduction by Bjorn Wansink (Utrecht University)\n\n19.35 Short presentation by Dynamics of Youth communities\n\n19.40 Presentation by Zehra Çolak & Bjorn Wansink (Utrecht University): Relational and pedagogical practices of belonging among racialized minority youth in an urban secondary education school\n\n19.55 Presentation by Simone Polderdijk & Lotte Henrichs (Utrecht University): Warm and Demanding from an Interpersonal Perspective: A Qualitative Synthesis of Culturally Responsive Teaching in Urban Classrooms\n\n20.10 Coffee/tea break\n\n20.30 Keynote talk by Melanie Acosta (Florida Atlantic University): “Motherwit”\, Or The Praxis of Black Migrant Women Belonging: Wisdom For Teaching & Teacher Education in black and white\n\nThe responsiveness of Black Migrant women the world over signifies a living word energized and structured by ancestral memory. Following the intellectual tradition of African skywatchers\, Melanie contours the constellation of Black Migrant Womens’ knowing in the Netherlands to offer a Black ontological platform for reasoning together about belonging that can color the black and white discourse of schooling.\n\n21.00 Q&A\n\n21.30 Concluding remarks by Bjorn Wansink (Utrecht University)\n\n \n\nYou are very welcome to join us in the Academy Hall\, in the Belle van Zuylenzaal (Achter de Dom 7\, 3512 JE\, Utrecht). Please register by filling out the online registration form.\n\n \n\nMore information about the other presentations of the symposium\n\nZehra Çolak & Bjorn Wansink \n\nRelational and pedagogical practices of belonging among racialized minority youth in an urban secondary education school \n\nRemoving barriers to belonging of students from disadvantaged backgrounds has become a fundamental thread within education research and practice. However\, dominant conceptualizations of belonging tend to view it as a uniform and universal experience that can be achieved rather than a situated practice shaped by factors such as race\, class\, and gender. This paper seeks to go beyond the static and binary logic of belonging vs not belonging by tracing relational and pedagogical practices of belonging from the perspective of racialized minority students in a pre-vocational secondary education school. In this presentation\, we will share some preliminary results from our ongoing research and discuss their implications for teaching practices that have the potential to generate transformative possibilities in urban school contexts. \n\n \n\nSimone Polderdijk & Lotte Henrichs \n\nWarm and Demanding from an Interpersonal perspective: A Qualitative Synthesis of Culturally Responsive Teaching in Urban Classrooms\n\nAs a teacher in an urban classroom myself – characterized by high ethnic cultural diversity and lower ses backgrounds – I know how challenging it can be to feel responsible for students’ learning and therefore disapproving students’ misbehavior while maintaining a positive teacher-student relationship. In this presentation we will highlight the background\, findings\, and implications of our study: Warm and Demanding from an Interpersonal perspective: A Qualitative Synthesis of Culturally Responsive Teaching in Urban Classrooms. We have used the Interpersonal Circle-Teacher (IPC-T) to map the interpersonal behavior of 26 Warm Demanders who are described in nine different US based case studies. One of the articles that we have analyzed is the paper Becoming Warm Demanders: Perspectives and Practices of First Year Teachers of which Melanie Acosta was a co-author. The main result is that warm demanders show high levels of communion and agency during daily interactions and when talking about their relationship with students. But during daily interactions\, their behavior was also frequently coded as low on communion (and high on agency). We are very interested in Melanie Acosta’s reflection on the implications of these findings for teacher education. And which thoughts arise when we sketch the diversity of students in urban classrooms in The Netherlands compared to urban classrooms in USA? What does this mean for the translation of warm and demanding teacher behavior to different cultural educational settings?

SUMMARY:Re/Presenting Europe Annual Consortium Meeting -  16-17 May at Radboud University Nijmegen
DESCRIPTION:Friends\, colleagues\, Re/Presenting Europe project members. It is time to gather\, after a year of activity\, and share our experiences\, challenges\, have fun\, and spend time together. We will renew connections and build new ones that will work toward a more inclusive understanding of Europe and the Netherlands. We look forward to showcasing our work\, and the reflections and representations from our diverse communities across the project and its working groups. After nearly twelve months of working in our separate teams\, let’s check in with each other\, and see if we are en route to reaching our collaborative goals with this project.\n\nObjectives: The main objective of our gathering these two days is to spend time in reflection\, connection\, friendly feedback on each other’s work. We can review our aims and successes – what does it actually mean to create representations and community practices that facilitate diversity and belonging? Can we scale our efforts up and is this desirable? We’ll identify tangible connections between working teams\, methods\, planned activities\, communities of engagement – and our desired outcomes. The consortium gathering is our chance to share what we have learned so far. It’ll help us work together more effectively. Last year we got to know each other a bit. This year we’ll deepen those connections\, review and confirm planned activities\, learn from featured speakers and performers sharing knowledge of anti-racism\, teaching\, and community-engagement in word and body. Let’s connect\, reflect\, engage with each other at the project level.\n\nKey areas of focus: Enhancing collaboration and communication among team members. Fostering creativity and innovation. Sharing knowledge.\n\nProgramme \n\nPlease note that the morning programme is internal and for consortium members only.
