About Me

Hi! My name is Shaelyn Fiske. I am currently 19 years old and a Sophomore at Rhode Island College. I am an Elementary Education major with a concentration in Special Education. I currently work in                                                             a special education school                                                                   where I hope to one day to                                                                   be a teacher and help others.

I live with my mom in Seekonk, MA and I have lived here my whole life. It is a small town with not many residents, but the down side of that is everyone knows everything about you!

I love to travel up north to Maine and New Hampshire and usually go numerous times a year. I usually go with my boyfriend, Cam, and his family. I love the being outside and seeing the mountain and trees.                                                           It is always calming and                                                                     peaceful there.



I love music as well. I attend many concerts and love all types of music. This past year I have been to rock concerts, pop concerts and country concerts. The best part of attending a concert is when the audience is loudly singing along with the artist. There is nothing quite like the rush of seeing one of your favorite artists live and in person.

Making Schools and Communities Welcoming to LGBT Youth & 11 and Gender Fluid: Hyperlinks

Safe Spaces   Summary    In the reading  titled  Safe Spaces: Making Schools and Communities Welcoming to LGBT Youth,  by Annemarie Vaccaro, Gerri August, and Megan S. Kennedy, the authors discuss how educators can create a more inclusive environment for their students. The authors argue that by not including the history of LGBTQ, not validating those who are LGBTQ or have family or friends who are, and by not integrating them into the curriculum, educators are marginalizing these students. In the reading it states, "Without the deliberate creation of an inclusive atmosphere, however, what happens inside classroom walls reproduces the prejudices that exist outside these walls: straightness and gender conformity are assumed; LGBT identity is deviant" (August 84). The authors provide examples of teachers who integrate LGBT into their classrooms along with examples of teachers who fail to provide positive teaching lessons regarding LGBTQ history, family or people who i

The Blind Poet: Diversity Event

The Blind Poet This week I attended the diversity event called "The Blind Poet". Dave Steele has recently, within the last six years, lost most of his vision due to a hereditary disorder called Retinitis Pigmentosa or R.P. for short. He was able to come to Rhode Island College because one parent has a daughter who is gradually losing her sight and hearing and connected with Steele Facebook asking if he would come to the college during his United States branch of his tour. Along with him Steele brought Barry Asmen, who is a vision specialist in Baltimore and is currently helping Steele travel during his tour. Asmen works for his family's practice and stated that there mission was to improve (those who lose their vision) their quality of life and ensure that they are included. Asmen's goal is to educate the public more about sight loss, because a lack of education has led to patients having less options and resources to benefit them in their everyday life.  Dave St
