Physics from an underrepresented lens: What I wish others knew (Period 6) by Sheila Morrissey https://padlet.com/smorrissey10/6eetbm0le4nmn9r4 Whether or not these statements apply to you, they are happening to students around you: My voice is not valued, heard, or recognized in STEM classes. I am both objectified and expected to act in masculine ways. I have to fight against my own subconscious thoughts - created by structural racism and sexism. My role models are mostly white men. Do I belong? What are your thoughts on the suggested responses? Consider: Does the suggestion surprise you? Has this happened in your classes (K-12, science)? What does this look like? What should it look like in school? What should it NOT look like? en-us 2021-05-05 17:28:34 UTC 2021-05-19 20:14:35 UTC hello@padlet.com should be taught with golden rule when we are learning how interact with our peers in elementary school https://padlet.com/smorrissey10/6eetbm0le4nmn9r4/wish/1541216016 2021-05-19 19:54:10 UTC https://padlet.com/smorrissey10/6eetbm0le4nmn9r4/wish/1541216016 https://padlet.com/smorrissey10/6eetbm0le4nmn9r4/wish/1541216701 I feel that I have had lots of teachers that reach out to students who might be struggling or are underrepresented.

Friends around the world should be treated equally. - Victoria
Women in stem should be less underrepresented for example Mrs. Morrisey is the only female physics teacher at paly. ]]> 2021-05-19 19:55:43 UTC https://padlet.com/smorrissey10/6eetbm0le4nmn9r4/wish/1541220614 https://padlet.com/smorrissey10/6eetbm0le4nmn9r4/wish/1541223070 In most classes, diversity is talked about briefly or even indirectly and there isn't much focus on it being important.]]> 2021-05-19 19:56:35 UTC https://padlet.com/smorrissey10/6eetbm0le4nmn9r4/wish/1541223070 https://padlet.com/smorrissey10/6eetbm0le4nmn9r4/wish/1541225208 I've had teachers emphasize community and valuing others and their ideas, but never in a STEM focused class. Usually only in social studies/history and english classes.
