I chose Option1, Intersectionality. This is an important topic to keep in mind when educating students.

What resonated with me is that all humans have their own unique collection of individual characteristics that make them different from one another. That being the case, they have their individual challenges as well as benefits. Some of those challenges being more difficult than others. For example, an individual has an ethnic affiliation, a socio-economic experience, a particular family structure, gender as well as religious affiliation along with many others. As such, a teacher needs to consider this when determining the amount of support or what type of instructional presentation a student needs to be successful in the classroom.
