How do you experience privilege and marginalization?
As a white female, I am aware that I benefit from certain privileges that many others do not experience. Being white, I have not been subject to racial prejudice or systemic discrimination. While being female has presented its challenges at times, I still have access to opportunities and resources that are often less available to women of color.
Who sees themselves and their own lives reflected in our curriculum and our classroom materials?
I try to make sure each of my students feels valued and represented in my classroom. Having a smaller class size makes it easier for me to tailor lessons to ensure each student can see themselves reflected in the curriculum as well as see what others who are marginalized might be experiencing.
How might you use your own privilege to make your classroom and school more equitable?
To make my classroom and school more equitable, I will continue to ensure that my classroom reflects diversity in both materials and discussions, offering representation for all backgrounds and abilities. Additionally, I will strive to create an open, supportive space where all students feel safe to share their perspectives.
