I am inspired by the phenomenon that physical spaces not only evoke old memories but simultaneously create new ideas. My education philosophy is rooted in the belief that narrative has the power to deconstruct what is considered “academically rigorous” and integrate social emotional learning and culturally responsive pedagogy. Teaching and learning can occur beyond the four walls of the traditional classroom. You can discover some of my curriculum projects below. https://www.kathrynendler.com/casel daily 0.75 2021-02-18 https://www.kathrynendler.com/why-crp-sel daily 0.75 2021-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5166f5f9df580001d4b0df/1566415439077-69A613MN1LQRBJSDIV00/Screen+Shot+2019-08-21+at+3.23.16+PM.png Why CRP/SEL? - Disciplinary Actions & Social Emotional Learning in Schools https://www.kathrynendler.com/learning-experiences-bank daily 0.75 2021-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5166f5f9df580001d4b0df/1567014367248-CF1ZS3405N778Y5BVPCG/Screen+Shot+2019-08-27+at+3.53.10+PM.png Learning Experiences Bank - CASEL Discussion Questions The following resource is a list of discussion questions/writing prompts adapted from the CASEL worksheet titled Give 1/Get 8 Self Care Activities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5166f5f9df580001d4b0df/1567014190676-KWOUKW3WB7DNZWOGHMBN/Screen%2BShot%2B2019-08-13%2Bat%2B2.27.47%2BPM.jpg Learning Experiences Bank - IES Curriculum IES (Intellectual, Emotional, & Spiritual) is a professional development curriculum designed by Kathryn Endler that aims to generate love, care, and solidarity among educators by incorporating more personal and emotional intelligences into academic spaces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5166f5f9df580001d4b0df/1566926148322-BCJ61CUBIXRDXEBGBCM1/jamila.jpg Learning Experiences Bank - Visualization Visualization is an exercise created by renown social justice education scholar and spoken word artist Dr. Jamila Lyiscott. In her 2019 book, Black Appetite. White Food, Dr. Lyiscott stresses that social justice requires personal wellness. Therefore, educators must be committed to excavating their own emotional existence and work through pain and discomfort in order to fight systemic injustice. Her Visualization Exercise asks participants to face that discomfort head on in order to deepen pedagogical practice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5166f5f9df580001d4b0df/1566924748440-F7GP5UU82DYBCZAAARP1/ShuffleCell_GroupWindowMLS_1600_c.png Learning Experiences Bank - Mirror/Echo/Tilt “Mirror/Echo/Tilt is a project created by artists (Melanie Crean, Shaun Leonardo, and Sable E. Smith) in collaboration with people who are court-involved, formerly incarcerated, or otherwise affected by the criminal justice system. Through a curriculum based on visual storytelling, participants translate personal narratives into performance in order to replace a culturally embedded conception of Black criminality with new language so that the mind and body may think, feel, and move in a way not defined by their previous experience with incarceration.” One of the exercises, Minimal Gesture (How to Abandon Words) uses physical movement in order to convey particular emotional narratives. While this may cultivate discomfort, the curriculum provides spaces for participants to engage in social emotional learning practices while putting issues of systemic racism at the forefront. This way, the social emotional learning experience engages beyond the surface of general feelings. *photo credit: Melanie Crean https://www.kathrynendler.com/resources daily 0.75 2021-02-18 https://www.kathrynendler.com/what-is-crp-sel daily 0.75 2021-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5166f5f9df580001d4b0df/1567008908092-2VXPQMPPQS3U9V1HJ6Q1/jamila%2Blyiscott.jpg CRP/SEL Curriculum - Vision-Driven Justice Vision-Drive Justice is a term coined by renowned social justice scholar, spoken word artist, and educational speaker, Jamila Lyiscott.

Within EP, Kathryn examines her personal experiences with food anxiety and body negativity to articulate a theoretical framework that demonstrates the narrative of pedagogical thought in the making. While existing literature provides some practices for educator self-reflection, frameworks including emotional and spiritual elements are limited in academia. Thus, Epiphanic Pedagogy explores the entanglement of intellectual, emotional, and spiritual discourses with the multiple dimensions of social identity through six major tenets: 1) Pedagogical Epiphanies, 2) Emotional Honesty, 3) Soul Excavation, 4) The Embodiment of Discomfort, 5) Relational Soulhood and 6) The Audacity to Hope. Epiphanic Pedagogy asks you to treat your soul as an archaeological site of discovery in order to excavate the lost fragmented parts of your self through the process of pedagogical epiphanies—critical realizations that allow you to gain hidden knowledge about yourself, about others, or about the relationship of the two. In doing so, we better understand our own inner worlds and deepen our relationships within our communities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5166f5f9df580001d4b0df/1589481221246-96NC9YQZHSFOKR06XKQ4/34.png Epiphanic Pedagogy https://www.kathrynendler.com/identity-systems-and-advocacy daily 0.75 2020-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5166f5f9df580001d4b0df/1589480612240-G5OTJCEWLMEE19CLXZCN/Screen+Shot+2019-08-13+at+2.02.17+PM.png Identity, Systems, and Advocacy Identity, Systems, and Advocacy (ISA) is an inclusive and integrative curriculum co-created by Kathryn Endler, Hayleigh Elmore, Jules Gordon, and Sarah Montgomery that aims to bring topics related to gender, sex, and sexuality into everyday classroom learning for fifth grade students. This curriculum aims for students to develop an understanding of not only how they fit into the world, but the presence of multiple cultures, races, ethnicities, abilities, and identities across societies. Aims are designed to be accomplished through project-based learning, Anti- Bias, Anti-Oppressive Education, and queer critical media literacy. While sex, gender, and sexuality are typically defined as narrow concepts, this curriculum expands them into deeper levels of understanding through examining concepts of and ideas about identity, systems, and advocacy. In essence, this curriculum cultivates a sense of personhood, emphasizing the unique identities of individuals in today’s society, while also touching on traditional sex education topics such as safe sex practices, human anatomy, and puberty. https://www.kathrynendler.com/ies-curriculum daily 0.75 2021-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5166f5f9df580001d4b0df/1589481842008-VVBHSAL3IYA182Z5IHVK/mindscape+26.jpg IES Curriculum - Intellectual, Emotional, Spiritual IES is a professional development curriculum designed by Kathryn Endler that aims to generate love, care, and solidarity among educators and individuals in highly social professions by incorporating more personal and emotional intelligences into academic spaces. https://www.kathrynendler.com/what-is-crpsel daily 0.75 2020-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5166f5f9df580001d4b0df/1567008273225-DYJZ23157XR0H8KKLJ97/slide19.jpg CRP/SEL - Indigenous Knowledge Opposed to Abraham Maslow’s theory, Hierarchy of Needs, the Blackfoot Nation believed in placing self-actualization as the foundation of human connection.
