Being a teacher activist is standing up for what you believe and empowering fellow teachers. In the White Folks book, it discusses how other teachers were brought to witness the Pentecostal Pedagogy. This was in hopes of getting teachers enthusiastic. This is something I want to bring to the future classroom. I want to encourage other teachers to teach to the best of their ability. This will create an overall enthusiastic environment for students to learn.

something that should be available to everyone no matter their race. Everyone deserves a fair chance at education. The school to prison pipeline was brought up in the reading. This will ensure that I can give extra attention and show patience to those boys who need.

put all my effort into teaching as well become aware of my microaggressions. I feel like my original option hasn't changed, just been added to. I feel like when being a white woman dealing with her whiteness can be a struggle. When talking about CRT, it is important to know where I stand and how i can project my microaggressions . Becoming aware of this is the first step towards being able to put forth my full effort in teaching my students.

feel comfortable and respected in their school environment. One way to ensure that is having a culturally responsive classroom. This includes being aware of individual prejudice based off norms. When these are acknowledged, students will be well respected and comfortable in the classroom, more importantly, willing to learn.

able to learn and succeed. I believe this wholeheartedly. I decided to teach because I believe that every child has the right to an education. If a child is acting out, the root of the problem needs to be established. There is always a reasoning for this, which will help me better cater to them. If students act out, they should not be immediately sent to the office to be dealt with. According to the Prison Pipeline Report, several students of color are being sent to be dealt with by higher authority. I think this is ridiculous. Students should not just be given up on or throw for someone else to deal with. I truly believe that all of my future students are able to succeed with the right guidance and attention.

to give every student the resources needed to reach academic success, create a relationship with the students, and put my biases aside in order to teach to the best of my abilities. When read about white fragility, I found that recognizing this when it occurs will help better my relationships with the students. I will be able to put aside my initial reactions in order to better understand my students.

more than just the students in the classroom, but their families and their cultures. Chapter 7 of the American Education discusses the hot topic of immigration. I feel it is necessary to understand where students some from, their traditions, and beliefs in order to properly teach to their needs. Students that have different cultures have the opportunity to educate classmates and myself. I feel that I need to research, through the students and their parents, to see what they expect and believe.

beneficial to students' learning. This statement is very true. When reading the American-Education chapters 2 & 3, I realized that something I struggle with is teaching values that do not align with mine. This was a question in the reading that resonated with me. I work day-to-day trying to answer that question. When examining myself as a future teacher, I believe that collaboration is best. This way I can talk to colleagues to see how they would or have approached the situation. I believe the best resources are people who have experienced and can relate.
