Similar to my last
entry, I experience privilege as a white, educated, middle-class
individual. I am employed, insured, and
live in a safe community. I don’t have
to worry about a place to live or food for our family. I grew up in the same way and have not
experienced any other lifestyle. I may
experience marginalization being female.
Content in the math curriculum is pretty straightforward I think. There have been small changes to problems presented but only regarding names and experiences. The names seem to be more gender-neutral and the problems or situations described are more diverse. I feel like it is difficult to have much diversity in math but definitely needs to be seen in the literature.
I can make my classroom more equitable by making the content more relatable to all of my students. I also want my students to feel that my classroom is a safe learning environment. They can come in any time to get help or just as a place they feel comfortable coming to.
