I chose Option 1

Option 2

I took the quiz and got a frontline Activist, I am open to talk and discuss but the audience aspect seems interesting. I have a wide range of different audience levels. I grew up in  an suburban and sometimes I remind myself that I grew up under a rock. I moved out into the rural  area late in high school. I started working in the city schools as my first job right after my masters program. During this time I moved into the City of Syracuse. With this movement I have meet different types of people. My audience is very diverse and some are willing, open, and familiar to discuss while others are less open, and willing to discuss. I like how the 3rd grade curriculum that I teach has a unit about Civil Rights Movement and Biographies. We have a more books that represent students of color in this unit. We are able to discuss the civil rights unit and how their lives are connected to the past.

I took the quiz, and I'm not clearly in any group.

I took the quiz to determine what I need to table about overcoming structural racism. It was a bit difficult for me, because of the way my life is structured. I would consider myself very well-informed and comfortable talking about racial equity, but my audience varies wildly. Since I work in a city school, my audience here is very urban, liberal, and familiar with the topic of racial equity. Conversely, my home and church are in a rural area, and are largely conservative, and my audience there is completely clueless when it comes to racial equity. I had to walk out of church once when they denounced Black Lives Matter from the pulpit. And my friends, by and large, live in suburbia and have a range of political views. Sometimes it is hard to transition from talking from group to group. I thought the advice they gave of “storytelling” to get your point across was very apt. My sometimes-close-minded father is a lot more willing to listen if I start a conversation with “One of my students…” then he would if I mention some data point.

I took the short quiz to determine what I need to talk about overcoming structural racism. I scored “Learning Advocate”. I am learning about racial justice and equity and how to talk about it. Speaking in a positive tone and light about our students, and affirming their goals and aspirations is a great start. Begin by talking about the positive our students bring to the table. Show how it benefits fair outcomes and opportunities for all “both you and I benefit”. I enjoyed the big ideas in the racial justice and equity frame, I felt that though that was the most beneficial part of what I had read. “Everyone has a right to real opportunity. Opportunity isn’t equal. Our systems of education and training after high school unfairly hold people back. Real actions with real outcomes make opportunity real for all”.
