Sacramento, California, United States Just Like a Mom Full time

ABOUT US

Just Like a Mom (JLAM) collaborates with K-12 educational institutions to enhance the engagement of Black students and their families through a practice known as othermothering. This culturally responsive approach serves as a bridge, drawing from the pedagogical methods of Black educators (Collins, 2000; Mawhinney, 2012; Stovall, 2022; Jougantos, Stovall and Borunda). The essence of othermothering is reflected in the actions and cues of culturally aware school staff when interacting with students of color and their families. When students feel a sense of belonging within the school environment, their chances of success increase significantly. Therefore, Just Like a Mom was established to foster these essential cultural connections within the school setting through the practice of othermothering.

  • Building positive relationships with students and their families.
  • Creating a safe space for students to discuss conflicts and challenges related to school and home.
  • Documenting all interactions with students using designated forms and providing weekly updates to the site principal.
  • Identifying community resources that may benefit students and/or their families.
  • Providing snacks and beverages in the designated space for students.
  • Participating in monthly parent meetings in person.
  • Facilitating connections between students and teachers where appropriate.

QUALIFICATIONS

Preference will be given to candidates residing in the local area.
