How do you experience privilege and marginalization? I have never felt that I have been treated unfairly. I have not experienced marginalization nor have I felt discriminated against. Who sees themselves and their own lives reflected in our curriculum and our classroom materials? In science we discuss facts and processes on how things work. I feel kids see themselves as part of the process in that anyone can be successful in it. How might you use your own privilege to make your classroom and school more equitable? I will try to provide chances for students to express their experiences and viewpoints, such as through projects, presentations, or class discussions. Through the new NGSS we design activities that allow students to connect science to their own lives. Encourage them to explore local issues or topics of personal interest.
