How do you experience privilege and marginalization?
I experience privilege more often than not and cannot recall a time that I feel that I have been marginalized. Each week I complete these badges on a work issued laptop using my own home wifi. I am cognizant of the fact that not all my students have the privilege to have a reliable wifi connection in their homes. 

Who sees themselves and their own lives reflected in our curriculum and our classroom materials?
My district is a rural and nearly 100% white school district, therefore, most of my students see themselves reflected in our curriculum and materials. I did post evidence in the Act requirement of a piece of evidence that articles that I use and share with my classes are from scientists of different races and cultures. 

How might you use your own privilege to make your classroom and school more equitable?
I will be taking the privilege I have of having the opportunity to participate in this equity challenge to make my classroom and school more equitable. I will do so by continuously auditing my curriculum to make sure many different ethnicities are being reflected. I will be an advocate and help my teammates to see their privilege and/or marginalization by sharing what I have learned throughout this badge challenge.
