I choose to watch this video due to it's relevance to my work. I am currently part of a curriculum review in my district and one of the things we are focusing on is the need to provide multiple perspectives. As an educator, it is not my job to tell students how to think, it is my job to provide the necessary resources to help students reach their own conclusions. I cannot do this by having a singular focus. Across all content areas it isimperative that students have exposure to multiple perspectives from multiple resources on any given topic. I think of my own education about Christopher Columbus for example. In school, I only learned how great he was for 'discovering' America, yet through my Native American relatives (ancestry) I learned a much different story. I struggled to reconcile this new information at the time.
