Table 1

There’s this podcast- the cult of pedagogy, that talks about this exact issue, and in it they mention that micro aggressions also contribute to this savior complex which puts teachers in situations that they shouldn’t be in. And I think it’s a good reminder about how aware we need to be of what we say and do.

Table 11:

We need to have a good understanding of micro aggressions so that we don’t accidentally offend our students and ruin our relationship with them. In addition, we need to know when to spot micro aggressions by others to maintain a positive and safe environment. An example of a micro aggression that one of us experienced is that one of us is adopted and a different race than her mom and waiters have assumed that they are not mother and daughter.

It is important for teachers to know about and understand microaggressions because they set a role model for students. If a teacher can speak on and correct microaggression, the same idea is pushed on to their students. The ways we have all been a victim of a microaggression is when teachers always ask for "a big strong boy" to help carry things in a classroom instead of a girl.

Microaggressions are a form of bullying that often go under a teacher's radar. If we are aware, we can respond appropriately.

At some point in most people's lives they say something or do something to at would be a micro aggression out of ignorance.

It’s important for teacher’s to recognize when micro aggressions are being made and how to step back from that, act with humility, and be genuine with your apologies when you recognize they’ve been used.

It is important that teachers are aware of microaggressions to make sure they are not making comments that may make a student feel uncomfortable. It is also important that they can recognize when students are using microaggressions to put a stop to it.
