Professional Learning
This week, students will begin to post regarding their experiences interning in professional organizations across the city. While students' time was short (they get released from school once a week for a month), they gained a great deal from the experience--both individually and collectively. Students were energized after job shadows each week in a non-profit, business, or government agency. It spurred lots of dialogue among the group about their observations, questions, and interpretations of their work site.

Personally made me jealous not to have a placement in one of these organizations too:
Boston Police Department, District E-13 Precinct
Boston Public Schools, Office of Instructional & Information Technology
Cannon Design
Chinese Progressive Association
Jobs for the Future
MA Department of Public Health, Office of Oral Health
Some of the students in fact have plans to volunteer at their site in the after-school..
Community-based Research
Beyond
the job shadows, the group has continued meeting each week to work on a short-term research internship with several of us based at B.C. Exploring questions around law enforcement & our diverse, intersecting communities.
In the coming weeks, we'll write more about the research, telling stories through image & text.. photographs & maps..
By talking with each other and with people in our communities about our lived experiences with police and other law enforcement officials, we hope to offer some things constructive, creative, thought provoking..
Posing problems that matter to each of us, to the police, to our communities.. Following questions where they lead.. seeking understanding through inquiry & art..
Look forward to what we can make
