Acting on prejudices lead to discrimination. Learning how to not act on them is crucial as educator. We need to make all groups feel welcome in our classroom.

One foundational idea that has resonated with me was our prejudices as educators. It is important that we are able to acknowledge them and not act out on these prejudices as to not lead to discrimination.

Chapter 4 on Prejudice and Discrimination was very insightful. We need to first validate our own prejudices first before we can move forward. You can't create a social communtiy classroom if you haven't accepted and learned from your own prejudice.

In chapter 10 the authors talk about intersectionality and classism. I have always believed that all people are equal. Their focus on the challenges of the impoverished and how they are perceived in society made me really think of how students separate themselves in schools. It is difficult to teach students to overcome these differences since they are coming in with preconceived notions that their parents and society have set. It is even more difficult to change the mind of those students who have learned to believe they are not enough. Students who are marginalized and feel the difference because of their socio-economic status in society.

foundation idea- race. I think it's important to have a fair environment where everybody feels welcomed and important. Less about who is dominant and who is in the minority groups. I think it's important for everybody to know things people do that can offend other cultures

What stood out to me was prejudice and discrimination and as a teacher we should know what prejudice is. I feel that if teachers are not aware of prejudice you cannot have a positive learning environment for students. I feel that as a teacher we will make mistakes and sometimes might not even realize we are showing prejudice and discriminating. It starts with the teacher to learn from being prejudice and focus on building a better learning environment for all students.

Something that resonated with me was the idea that all humans have prejudice. If not checked we can unconsciously discriminate and perpetuate oppressive power structures.

One foundational idea that intrigued me is the idea of social class. They define Classism as the systematic oppression of poor and working people those who control resources, such as education, and is often ranked the type pf job one holds and their level of education . What I learned from classism is that there is dominance one class has over the other. An example of classism is how those those working for the Federal government who are mostly apart of the upper class, passing laws or resources such as SNAP, have control over who can and cannot receive it, which over all affect the poor working class and not those who belong in the upper class.

The foundational idea of privilege intrigued me because I never really thought of myself as having privileged especially when I work with diverse students. The idea that even though I can be oppressed as a person of color, I can still hold privilege as a male. It really shows how our multiple identities intersect and how we need recognize them all and how they affect us and others.

Something that intrigued me was the different types of student engagement. I never looked at the different types that are within the students and classroom. It opened my eyes to fighting and implementing Engagement and Justice for ALL Learners. Where the different types of Knowledge Construction (Personal and cultural knowledge, popular knowledge, mainstream academic knowledge, school knowledge, and transformative academic knowledge, should be implemented in the schools, community and in the classroom to fully uphold student engagement.

All the chapters... I'm new to the educational arena and reading about all the things that should be considered by teachers is somewhat overwhelming. So it is difficult think about just one, but what is fresh in mind are the topics covering discrimination, prejudice, race, poverty and class, oppression. I’m eager to learn and dig into these topics more to get a better understanding and to critically analyze.

I think that for me, positionality stood out the most to me because of how the textbook outlined its' importance. I think that recognizing where we come from, how we were taught to live, what was expected of us, etc. is important to truly understand our perspective of the world today. I think that knowing and understanding where you come from is important for working with diverse students in a classroom. It has us really think deeper about what people experience vs how they are perceived from first impressions. There are many deep and personal attributes to each and every student and it may not all be seen on the surface level of when you see them in the classroom.

We all have prejudices that have been ingrained in us through our up bringing and social groups we live near. I am challenged to no act on them which leads to discrimination and oppression.

It is hard to understand identity through one singular lens. Any social meaning given to our identities should be characterized and understood by their interdependence. In other words, identity is multidimensional. Identities are complex and they shape our experience.

Sensoy says mentions on p. 72 that more or less it is arrogance or lack of humility that is hindering the dominate group from recognizing and therefor pursuing a solution to the issue of privilege.  However, this hold true for all if resolution is to be had.
