How do you experience privilege and marginalization?
Who sees themselves and their own lives reflected in our curriculum and our classroom materials?
How might you use your own privilege to make your classroom and school more equitable?
- I experience privilege in being heterosexual, financially stable, having a salary career, going to college, owning a car and being able to travel on holidays
- I experience marginalization sometimes with being biracial and being a woman
Who sees themselves and their own lives reflected in our curriculum and our classroom materials?
- I truly believe all my students can see themselves in the books I have in my classroom/ In the beginning of the year, I take an inventory of all my students and purchase books relating to the curriculum and the students who are currently in my classroom.
How might you use your own privilege to make your classroom and school more equitable?
- I can use my privilege to advocate for my students for example if an EL student is recommended to receive special education services, and I know they do not need that (it is more of a language barrier that will change with time) then I can advocate for them
