I watched this webinar that was all about how educators can be an ally for their students. It included some great information, some great articles, and resources, strategies, and how it starts with self-reflection. Change does not happen overnight and many people who think they are an ally, are not actually being an ally. Deep self-reflection on our own identity is what helps to start the process. Making your classroom environment and community a safe place for students to be themselves is extremely important as well. Finding ways to honor differences and incorporate those differences into your classroom and curriculum can make a huge difference.
