Integrating less stereotypical voices to introduce topics to students, This will help when it comes to seeing themselves in the speakers and writers, which often can be hard to do when mosst sources used in school are authored by white men. It is important that in history, english, science, world language, that we as educators are introducing readings and writings and history from different perspectives rather than the "old standbys". We need to remember that we can use things that we have learned from our own curiousity and scaffold it and bring it to the classroom to foster student engagement and curiousity.
