"An understanding of neoindigineity allows educators to go beyond what they physically see when working with urban youth, and attend to the relationship between place and space" (Edmin, 2016, pg. 26).

Neoindigenous is a term for expressing the reality of a students life (Edmin, 2016, pg.26). When a teacher understands their students life in the real world (space), and connect with it in the classroom (place), then it makes the learning environment deeper and safe.

"If we are truly interested in transforming schools and meeting the needs of urban youth of color who are the most disenfranchised within them, educators must create safe and trusting environments that are respectful of students' culture" (Edmin, 2016, pg. 27).

Every person has a culture that represents who they are. As seen in the picture, culture includes food, specific celebrations, language, clothes, and much more. It is important to acknowledge every culture in a classroom because every student has a different cultural background. We want the students to feel safe and comfortable in a classroom setting where all the cultures are acknowledged.

"Students' symptoms of fear, anger, and powerlessness led to what Dr. Wells calls post racial tension stress disorder, which derives from youth seeing themselves as powerless in a world that conveys to them the message that race doesn't matter, at the same time it subjects them to physical and symbolic violence because of their race" (Emdin, 2016, pg. 23).

In a classroom setting, students should not feel neglected or invisible because of their race. If students are ignored in a classroom, they can develop fear and anger, which can interfere with their learning and their identity.

"This teacher, who struggles to get her students engaged in science, had alienated one of the few students who liked the class, because she did not fit the mold the school and the teacher had cast for what a good student looks and acts like... The reality is that we privilege people who look and act like us, and perceive those who don't as different and, frequently, inferior (Edmin, 2016, pg. 19).

When a student tries to participate in class, and the teacher keeps ignoring their questions and answers, students start to develop a feeling of not being wanted in a class. It is important for teachers to acknowledge every students engagement to the classroom. It not only helps the teacher know where the student is at, but it also creates a healthy learning environment between the teacher and the students.

"The constant reminder by peers, family members, teachers, and now school administrators to see urban youth of color as a group that is potentially dangerous and needs to be saved from themselves. We were told not to express too much emotion with students or to be too friendly with them" (Edmin, 2016, pg. 36).

I believe that one of the key factors in education is caring. If teachers show their students that they do not care, or they do not show interest in getting to know their students, then the students will sense it. This can cause students to feel "invisible" as Edmin mentioned, but students won't feel as comfortable in their classroom setting (Edmin, 2016, pg. 37). I believe it is important for teachers to show we care, and let our students to know we are interested in who they are.
